In this episode, he goes deep into his pullback-focused trading system, breaking down dozens of real trades from the past year and sharing the exact tools, entries, and risk management rules that powered his nearly 10x performance.Martin's journey began in October 2020 with just $1,300 (around 10,000 Hong Kong dollars). He tripled his account in the first four months during the easy "free money" market, only to suffer a devastating 50% drawdown in 2021 through death by a thousand cuts. That painful period—five or six consecutive red months—taught him lessons about risk management that still shape his approach today. After discovering Christian Qullamaggie’s teachings and developing strict stop-loss habits from Mark Minervini's books, Martin finally broke through with a founder trade in June 2023 that pushed his equity curve to new highs after two and a half years of grinding.This year, Martin made a critical evolution in his strategy: shifting from pure breakout trading to incorporating pullback entries. He explains why breakouts have become less reliable, how he uses anchored VWAP as a key tool for identifying support and resistance, and why buying the first pullback to rising EMAs offers tighter risk and better reward potential. He also candidly breaks down his December disaster—a 26% drawdown caused by overtrading, flipping between longs and shorts, and taking setups that violated his own rules.🔥 What You'll Learn:✅ The mathematical advantage of tight stops: how cutting your stop from 3% to 1.5% can turn a 15R trade into a 25R winner✅ How to use anchored VWAP for pullback entries—with real examples on NVIDIA, Tesla, and the quantum computing names✅ Why the first pullback within a base offers the best risk/reward versus later pullbacks✅ Position sizing secrets: risking 0.5% per trade while running up to 280% margin exposure✅ The December post-mortem: 46% of trades were avoidable mistakes and how to prevent behavioral slippage✅ Why weekly charts matter: using the bigger picture to filter trades and avoid shorting into strengthWhether you're struggling with breakout failures or looking to add pullback entries to your toolkit, Martin's detailed trade reviews and honest assessment of his mistakes provide a masterclass in systematic improvement.Enjoy!- The TraderLion TeamPublic Sponsorship Disclosure:Paid endorsement.Brokerage services provided by Open to the Public Investing Inc, member FINRA & SIPC.
