🔑 In trading, there are two fundamental approaches that often stand in opposition. Understanding them is key to building your own trading style.

📉 Mean Reversion assumes that when price deviates strongly from its average (e.g., a moving average), it tends to return to it. This strategy focuses on pullbacks and corrections.

📈 Momentum trading, on the other hand, assumes that a strong move will continue. “The trend is your friend” is its core principle.

🧐 Which one should you choose? It depends on your temperament, timeframe, and patience. Momentum trading requires holding positions, while mean reversion demands fast reactions.

Ideally, test both and combine them depending on market context!

😨 Markets are driven not only by numbers, but also by emotions.

The Market Mood Index (MMI) attempts to measure these emotions on a scale from 0 to 100.

How to read the MMI scale:
😊 0–30 (Fear): Panic, mass sell-offs. Potential opportunities to find assets “at the bottom.”
😊 31–50 (Concern): Caution and uncertainty.
😊 51–70 (Greed): Optimism and increasing risk appetite.
😊 71–100 (Extreme Greed): Euphoria and FOMO. Possible overbought signals.

📈 The index is calculated using multiple data points: volatility, market breadth, demand for safe-haven assets, and more.

MMI is a contextual tool. It doesn’t provide precise entry or exit signals, but helps answer an important question: “Is the market overheated or oversold?”

Use it alongside technical analysis for more balanced decisions.

📊 One of the core secrets of successful traders is creating risk asymmetry. This means structuring trades so that potential profit significantly outweighs possible loss.

How can you achieve this? It’s a philosophy, not just a technique:
🔹 Precise entries: Look for entries with minimal distance to a logical stop-loss level.
🔹 Pyramiding: Plan how to add to winning positions while moving stops to breakeven — limiting initial risk without capping upside potential.
🔹 Risk/Reward ratio: Never enter trades where potential profit is smaller than the risk. Aim for 1:3 or higher.

🧠 This approach requires discipline and patience to wait for truly high-quality setups. But it’s exactly what turns trading from a lottery into a professional craft.

This is the strategy used by legends like Jesse Livermore — and it still works today.
