Swing Options on Large-Cap Momentum.

Doctrine · Edge · Sizing

I specialize in swing options trading on large-cap equities, with holding periods ranging from a few days to approximately three months. My edge is identifying high-conviction momentum setups during clear market uptrends, entering with defined risk and riding moves in names I know well.

I trade with a rules-based framework: every position has a stated profit target and stop-loss before entry. Position sizing is capped, strike selection is disciplined, and I track every trade against my historical data to identify patterns and improve decision-making over time.

The point is the discipline of writing things down, entries, exits, the thesis, the reason it worked or didn't. Three years of journaling has produced a data-backed picture of where my edge actually lives, and the rules to stay inside it.

⊕ Thesis

One of my highest-conviction trades. Entered NVIDIA $125 calls during a confirmed uptrend, held through volatility, and exited with a significant realized gain. The thesis was straightforward: AI infrastructure dominance, institutional momentum building into Computex / GTC catalysts, and a clean technical setup with the 20D / 50D moving averages stacked.

I let the position run, which is where most traders leave money on the table. This trade exemplifies my core strength — identifying large-cap momentum early and holding through the noise instead of clipping at the first 30% pop.

⊕ 07 / Personal Rulebook

The Rules I Trade By.

Hard rules · no exceptions
01
Define Risk First
Every position has a stated profit target and stop-loss before entry. If I can't articulate the exit, I don't take the trade.
02
Cap Position Size
No single position exceeds a hard percentage of the account. Concentration kills accounts faster than bad theses.
03
Stay In Your Names
Trade companies I follow, study, and read transcripts on. Edge is knowing the business — not chasing tickers from a screener.
04
Respect IV
Implied vs. realized vol is checked before every options entry. If IV is rich and the catalyst is priced in, I pass.
05
Trade With Trend
Momentum and trend continuation, not bottom-fishing. The market is the macro context I trade inside, not against.
06
Cut When Wrong
If the thesis breaks, I close. Hope is not a strategy. Capital preservation is what keeps the next winner on the table.
07
Journal Every Trade
Thesis, evidence, what would change my mind, dated. The data only compounds if you write it down.
08
Let Winners Run
Scale out into strength. The biggest mistake is clipping winners at +30% when the setup says 3×. NVDA $125 was that lesson, applied.
⊕ 08 / Philosophy
MARKETS ARE PROBABILISTIC, NOT PREDICTABLE. I DON'T TRADE ON HUNCHES I BUILD A THESIS, DEFINE MY RISK, AND LET THE MATH WORK OVER TIME.

Three years of tracking every trade has given me something most traders don't have at any age: a data-backed picture of where my edge actually is, and the discipline to stay inside it. I study price action, macro conditions, and options flow. I read earnings transcripts. I track implied volatility relative to historical vol before entering positions. And when a trade doesn't work, I cut it and move on — because capital preservation is what keeps you in the game long enough for the winners to compound.

journal.

This site documents my ongoing research, trade analysis, and market commentary. It's part portfolio, part trading journal — built to demonstrate that rigorous, process-driven analysis isn't reserved for professionals on Wall Street.

It starts in high school, with real money and real results. The next chapter is publishing the framework — write-ups on individual setups, post-mortems on every closed position, and a public version of the rulebook for anyone who wants to learn how to think about markets like a system instead of a casino.
