info_outline๐๏ธ New Episode Alert! Lightspeed Investing Podcast Episode 41: Steven Orr's Trading Principles Part 5 ๐
In this must-listen episode, Philip Jayhawk Chan sits down with seasoned trader Steven Orr to dive deep into the 12 rules that can elevate your trading game. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, this episode is packed with insights that will transform how you approach the markets.
๐ฏ Key Highlights:
๐ Always Have Powder (Cash):
Keep 5-10% of your portfolio in cash to seize market opportunities or shield yourself from downturns. Flexibility is key!
๐ The Whole World Matters:
Global events impact local markets more than you think. Stay informed about international developments, from copper prices to interest rate changes.
๐ Fundamental vs. Technical Analysis:
Master both fundamental (global trends) and technical (chart-based strategies) analysis for well-rounded trading decisions.
๐ The Market Never Sleeps, But You Should:
The markets are 24/7, but donโt forget to rest! Balance is crucial.
๐ Fluidity and Adaptability in Trading:
Be adaptable and never get attached to a trade. Once it's over, move on without emotional baggage.
๐ Not Marrying Your Positions:
Donโt fall in love with your trades! Steven shares how he profited from stocks like Nvidia and IBM by sticking to his thesis and exiting once targets were hit.
๐ Holding Positions:
Whether itโs a high-frequency trade lasting seconds or a swing trade lasting days, know your strategy and stick to it.
๐ Intraday Trading vs. Swing Trading:
Understand the differences and adjust your strategy according to market conditions.
๐ Confluence of Trading Rules:
Successful trading is about harmonizing multiple principles like a constellation aligning perfectly.
๐ Intentional Trading and Avoiding Hope as a Strategy:
Hope isnโt a strategy! Success in trading comes from intentionality, understanding market dynamics, and making data-driven decisions.
๐ Market Dynamics and Trends:
Learn how consumer habits can influence markets and why focusing on tangible factors, not hope, leads to success.
๐ Flowing with Market Trends:
Go with the flow of the market, especially when strong trends emerge. Play the game in front of you!
