Keep it simple: pick 1–2 setup

Keep it simple: pick 1–2 setups (breakout + pullback), define exact entry/exit/size, cap risk at 0.5–1%/trade, backtest 2–3 years, then forward-test ~20 trades. Journal everything, cut what doesn’t work, double-down on what does. Consistency > complexity.

How Do You Start to Build Your Stock Trade System? 📉📈

Buffett’s ~30% annualized return might look “boring” compared to jawdropping returns in our community, but stable compounding is how he went from $100k → $147B. Now contrast that with retail investors (maybe you’ve been there): Saw a “hot pick”, YOLO’d in, then watched it crash. Bought at the top because of FOMO, sold at the bottom out of fear. Buffett: $100k → $147B. Me: $100k → $2k… in one hour. ---------- 1. How did you build your own system? 2. Learning through practice or build rules first, trading the next? 3. Or do you plan to start to build a system?
