If you want to explore the idea of increasing surface area of luck study the work of one of the most highly regarded psychologists of all time Albert Bandura.
His theory of chance encounters and life path is widely accepted explanation for success in many people.
Also check out his social learning theory which is widely accepted explanation of how humans learn.

Elite Trading Framework (Structural Momentum & HVE Systems)

This master blueprint outlines my execution ready trading methodology. It is engineered to capture explosive moves in high velocity growth stocks by combining supreme institutional urgency, structural price compression, and flawless mathematical risk management relying strictly on clean daily and weekly price action for entry and invalidation.

Strategy 1: The Core Structural Swing System
This strategy focuses on trading elite relative strength and structural chart compression directly against key moving averages on the daily and weekly timeframes.

Phase 1: Screening & Selection
Elite Relative Strength (RS): You target market leaders actively outperforming the broader indexes ($SPY/$QQQ). You prioritize vehicles pushing into "blue sky" all-time high territory or tightly consolidating directly under lifetime resistance, proving they are immune to market selling pressure.

True Fundamental Engines: Setups must be backed by undeniable institutional drivers, such as recent "beat and raise" earnings reports or powerful secular trends (e.g., AI data center infrastructure and next-gen semiconductor components).

Phase 2: The Setup & Volatility Compression
You never buy extended, chasing stocks away from support. You patiently wait for the near term supply to dry up and the moving averages to catch up to the price.

High Tight Flags (HTFs): High velocity moves that flag sideways, refusing to retrace deeply, proving that institutions are aggressively defending the shares.

The "Squat" Pattern: The stock "squats down" tightly into its key dynamic moving averages using the 8w eek EMA on the weekly chart as your ultimate reference point for pullbacks to determine if it is ready to move immediately or needs more time, or the 21 EMA on the daily chart.

Inside Days & Volume Dry Up (VDU): You look for tight daily candles trading entirely within the prior day's range. As the stock sits in the squat, volume must completely disappear, proving that floating supply has been completely absorbed.

Phase 3: Absolute Daily Execution & Invalidation
The Trigger: Entry is executed on a clean breakout past the immediate daily consolidation pivot level (e.g., the high of the inside day, the high of the flag, or down-trend resistance).

The Stop Loss: Your risk is pegged strictly and mathematically to the structural low of the consolidation setup typically placed right under the low of the "squat" candle, the inside day low, or the key supporting 8 week EMA. If the stock triggers the breakout but immediately reverses through this low, the squat isn't ready. You cut the trade instantly with zero hesitation.

Strategy 2: The HVE (Highest Volume Ever) Breakout Strategy
This is your specialized, ultra high conviction strategy reserved exclusively for historic corporate milestones and absolute institutional urgency.

The Setup: You scan for a stock printing its Highest Volume Ever Traded, typically accompanied by a massive, violent gap up or breakout past all time highs or out of a multi month institutional base.

The Psychology: This represents a permanent structural regime shift. Massive mutual funds and institutions are trapped in a state of extreme urgency, scrambling to build positions all at once. This historic volume signature permanently changes the character of the stock.

Execution & The First Pullback: * Day of Print Entry: Entering directly on the breakout daily candle if it clears a clean key level with a defined structural daily low stop.

The First Pullback (The High Probability Play): If the initial HVE gap is too extended to manage risk safely on a daily chart, you place the ticker on a high priority watchlist. You wait to buy the very first orderly pullback or "squat" back to a key technical level or the 8-week EMA, knowing institutions will heavily step in to defend the baseline of the highest volume day in the company's history.

System Mathematics: Asymmetric Expectancy
The ultimate engine of both strategies is pure mathematical expectancy. Because you buy right at the exact inflection point of a tight daily/weekly flag or a structural squat, your risk from entry to your daily stop loss is remarkably small (frequently only 1% to 3%).

The Reward: When a high RS leader or an HVE catalyst stock successfully clears its daily pivot and unlocks its next major momentum expansion leg, it can easily surge 10% to 15% or more in a matter of days.

The Ratio: This creates a clean 1:5 risk to reward ratio (risking $1 to make $5).

The Expectancy: Under this mathematical profile, you do not need a high win rate to compound capital rapidly. Even with a modest 25% to 30% win rate, your outsized winners will heavily multiply your small, tightly controlled losses, guaranteeing consistent, geometric account growth over a large sample size of trades.

One thing I know for certain is:

The most dangerous moment in a trader’s career isn’t the first or second d blow-up, a big drawdown, or a major streak of losses.

It’s the moment you start deeply believing YOU ARE the problem…

My new working theory: dump any position that isn't profitable pretty much right away. This is obviously a bit subjective because some guys have a 30 minute holding period while others hold for 30+ days but, subject to your timeframe, my guess is that, if you analyze your historical results, you will find that dumping things that don't work right away winds up being a net positive to your results. And I'm not just talking about $$ results, you will also conserve mental "capital" by avoiding immediate losses which drain your energy. The wisdom behind this idea dates back to Livermore. Thoughts?

There’s a really weird “keep it positive” culture on FinTwit, especially among guru followers.

Any negative view on the expected returns of popular strategies or even mentioning very real risks gets framed as toxic hating or whining.

I honestly don’t know how you succeed in trading with that mindset.

Trading is largely about risk management, and forced positivity is one of the worst mental patterns you can have.

I much prefer Ray Dalio’s framework of hyperrealism first. He probably knows more about surviving and succeeding in markets than all alleged 8–9 figure traders on X combined.

[Jeff Sun, CFTe @jfsrev]

If I could go back in time and change one thing from the beginning, it wouldn’t be the strategy/indicator I chose or the market I traded. it would be learning earlier that tight risk creates asymmetric returns far more superior than win rate % in the long run.

We can trade any strategy, but our return relative to the risk we take is ultimately determined by how we define our entry-to-stop level for position sizing relative to account size/net liquidation value.

The most dangerous market for an undisciplined trader’s P/L isn’t a downtrend.

It’s a sideways market.

In a downtrend, it’s easier to recognize the environment and stop trading. In a sideways market, the constant back and forth creates the illusion of opportunity.
