Episode notes
Choose A Strategy You Can Execute
- Find a strategy you can actually execute consistently, not the one that looks best on paper.
- Focus on a small number of instruments so you can learn their charts and rules deeply.
How TQQQ Became Her Main Tool
- Vibha started using TQQQ in 2015 and increased exposure as her best-performing holdings were large tech names.
- She shifted to TQQQ because it let her boost returns while tracking a few big, liquid stocks more easily.
Set Rules Upfront, Use Signals Later
- Use strict sell rules on entry and shift to sell signals once you’re profitable to let winners run.
- Teach sell signals (science) and learn the nuance of pattern/context (art) before acting.
