Core Trading Process: Risk First, Profits Second

In choppy, headline-driven markets, Brian prioritizes risk management above all. He emphasizes:

  • Calculating risk before entering any trade
  • •  Using smaller position sizes when volatility is high
  • •  Being disciplined with stop-losses and quick to adjust exposure
  • Taking partial profits and never letting winners turn into losers.

Technical Approach Over News

Brian largely ignores macro headlines in favor of technical setups. His toolkit includes:

  • Watching consolidations with rising moving averages for stability
  • Leveraging anchored VWAP to determine fair value and decision zones
  • Recognizing key technical trends, like higher highs and lows, to guide entries and exits
  • Applying these principles to all sectors (energy, tech, consumer, metals) without chasing news
