The Lund Loop

Three themes worth adding to your process. Want to get yourself into trouble? It’s easy to do. Just get emotionally attached to what’s happening right now. When stocks are running higher every day, it’s tempting to believe the move will never end. When the market stumbles, it’s equally tempting to assume something has fundamentally broken. Neither reaction is particularly useful. The goal isn’t to become emotionless.

Three themes worth adding to your process. Most people think edge is something you either have or don’t have. It’s more complicated than that. Edge changes as conditions change. A setup that offers tremendous opportunity in one environment can become nearly useless in another. The same trader can look brilliant during one phase of the market and completely average during the next. That’s because edge isn’t just about skill. It’s about alignment.

Three themes worth adding to your process. The underrated benefit of taking partial profits has nothing to do with maximizing returns. It’s psychological. The moment traders lock in some gains, the emotional pressure surrounding the remaining position changes dramatically. They stop managing from fear and start managing from optionality. That’s important because markets rarely move in perfectly straight lines. A position might explode higher immediately.

Great Trades Often Begin with Controlled Risk, Not Certainty One of the biggest misconceptions in trading is that you’re supposed to know exactly what will happen before entering a position. You don’t.

Three themes worth adding to your process. One of the hardest things in trading is acting before the picture feels finished. Everyone wants confirmation. Everyone wants the clean trigger. But by the time a setup looks perfect to everybody, a large part of the move is often already gone. Some of the best opportunities emerge during transition phases—when a stock or sector is changing character but hasn’t fully proven itself yet. That’s uncomfortable because uncertainty is still high.

Three themes worth adding to your process. Most people think they’re managing risk because they’ve set a stop. That’s not risk management. That’s one tool. Real risk management is a system. It’s position sizing based on context. It’s adjusting exposure after a large move. It’s deciding whether to take overnight risk or wait for confirmation. It’s understanding how one position fits into the broader portfolio. Risk changes as price changes. A setup that looks clean early becomes extended later.

Last week a friend dropped by and told me about a conversation he recently had with his mother-in-law, the first five minutes of which were prefaced by a series of uncomfortable shiftings and readjustments, punctuated with a series of “ums” and “uhs” as she struggled to voice the hellish discomfort brewing inside her. Ultimately it was something trivial, splitting the cost of hotel rooms on an upcoming trip or something. In this context her physical distress is funny.

Two similarly constructed trades, one that worked out and one that didn’t - and one that worked on a “do-over.” After clicking the video below, make sure to maximize it and change the definition to 1080HD. Please read the disclosures at the bottom of this page.
