📝 The 5 Pillars of a Real Trading Plan

Most trading mistakes don’t come from bad market conditions. They come from a lack of structure. This framework breaks a trading plan into five core components that keep decision-making stable under pressure.

1️⃣ Routine
Trading starts before the market opens.
A routine defines how you prepare: marking key levels, removing invalidated scenarios, updating context. Consistent preparation reduces impulsive decisions and keeps execution repeatable.

2️⃣ Bias
You need a clear directional framework.
What is your current market view? More importantly, where is it invalidated?
Bias is not belief — it’s a conditional hypothesis. Without it, traders flip direction emotionally instead of strategically.

3️⃣ Levels
Ideas are useless without location.
Levels define where you are willing to engage: liquidity zones, session highs/lows, areas where participation and emotion peak. This is where asymmetry exists. If you don’t know where you act, you’re reacting, not trading.

4️⃣ Execution
Entries must be rule-based, not intuitive.
What exactly confirms the trade? Volume behavior, delta, structure, candle pattern?
The clearer the trigger, the less room emotions have to interfere. Vague execution leads to inconsistent results.

5️⃣ Review
No review means no improvement.
What worked, what didn’t, and what rules were broken? Which opportunities were missed?
Review turns experience into skill. Without it, progress stalls regardless of market conditions.

A trading plan is not just entries and exits.
It’s a system that controls attention, risk, and behavior.
Remove any one of these pillars, and the market will eventually expose the weakness.

Christmas is a good moment to pause and be honest with yourself.

If you’re not happy with this year’s result, it’s worth understanding what needs to change.
Especially your habits and the way you react to stops. The market doesn’t respond to hopes or intentions. It reflects behavior.

Doing the same things and expecting a different outcome doesn’t work here.

Let this be a moment for clear conclusions and better decisions ahead.

Merry Christmas.

🏠 The Housing Math No One Wants to Admit

For the first time in more than a decade, the US housing market has more sellers than buyers. There are now 530,000 extra homes for sale, the largest gap ever recorded. On paper, this should be great news for young buyers. In reality, it’s exposing a political and economic dead end.

🟡 Young people have largely stopped buying homes
🟡 84% of Gen Z is delaying homeownership despite the inventory glut
🟡 The median first-time buyer is now 40 years old
🟡 You need about $141,000 in income to afford a median home, while the average salary is $75,000

The core issue isn’t supply. Homes are still unaffordable because mortgage rates are above 6%, up from around 3% during the pandemic. At the same time, existing homeowners, mostly boomers, have seen their home values rise roughly 33% in just five years.

Trump openly acknowledged the dilemma. Lowering prices would help young buyers, but it would also hit the wealth of current homeowners. Protecting boomer wealth keeps prices high and locks younger generations out.

You can’t push prices down and keep home values elevated at the same time. The math doesn’t care about politics.
