Prologue
For simplicity,
Throughout the text, I will use the term Market (M in capital letter) to indicate any of
the instruments that I trade; Stocks, Options; Futures; Forex.
Throughout the text, I will use the term Trader (T in capital letter) to indicate all
styles of investors and traders.
A Trade example may illustrate Long direction or Bullish Trade. However, I take a
Short direction or Bearish Trade in the exact opposite situation in the same Market
with equal ease. And vice versa.
For easier reading, I have annotated all the charts in this article. You may read the
annotations in the sequence of their numbering.
All my Trades are taken based on Superior Profits CUE Global Trading System (in
short, using CUE or CUE charts) that runs as an Add-On to Metastock charting
platform. Metastock provides the engine on which CUE System runs smoothly and
with speed; whatever be the Market path - up or down or sideways. Metastock also
allows me to trade in any major country/Exchange/Market of the world. Letting me
and you capture opportunities wherever they may be. All the chart illustrations in
this article are generated using CUE Charts (and only CUE charts) running on
Metastock.
One secret that I will briefly touch upon here is that other than Metastock as a
charting platform, I also use Metastock Xenith (Thomson Reuters EIKON). That vastly
speeds up my decision making; irrespective of which country or Market I am trading.
I am not able to describe my secrets of using EIKON in the space of this article.
However, I use EIKON in all the Superior Profit Live Classes while analyzing already
entered trades as well as upcoming/actionable trade ideas. You are most welcome
to join the classes and listen (they are mostly open to public). You may register for
upcoming live classes to see first-hand how I use CUE System, Metastock, and
EIKON seamlessly.
Another secret that I dont have space here to cover is that I look at Broad Market
Internal and Sector/Industry Group Ranking on a weekly basis. Broad Market is to
see what market internals are saying. Like a doctor checking up a patients
internals. And look at Sector/Industry ranking to see which one is coming in favor;
which one is going out of favor and which one is in the middle. You may; again; see
these secrets in action in my Live Classes by registering here. And you may access
the exact data that I use for Broad Market/Sector/Industry Analysis at the pages:
Broad Market Internals and Sector/Industry Analysis.

One last comment before I delve into the subject of this article. I do not prefer to
share a Trade idea after the Trade makes a profit. In my opinion, that does not fully
illustrate the confidence of a Trader on his Trading System. I have full confidence in
my system and my technique. And I prefer to publish my trade ideas in advance;
before knowing the result. These are open for the public to see; in the Superior
Profit Trade Ideas in our Traders Community. In the beginning; I had collated the
result of each and every trade that I shared for four successive months. You may
find that highly profitable result in the Result page. You may drill down every link in
that page to see how the trades were entered and exited. Here is the summary of
the result of those four months; all trades were taken using Stock Option in USA
Market.

How did I achieve this level of consistent result? How did I build this level of
confidence to publish trade ideas to public before knowing the Trade results? How
does my latest Trade Ideas continue to do well irrespective of whether we are in up
market, down market or sideways market? That is what I am going to share with you
here.

I will attempt to explore those real secrets based on the journey that made me a
successful Trader. While doing that, I will go through actual trades that I took; and
that I shared in advance in Superior Profit Traders Community.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 5 of 34
Later on, after I left my job and became full-time Trader, I expanded into Day
Trading.
And in the last stage of my Trading journey, I became patient enough to take and
hold on to Long Term Investments.
This journey may be different for you. But you need to find it out for yourself. The
necessity of this discovery for yourself is one of the not-often-talked-about secrets
of successful trading. Many vendors and brokers keep promoting the Trading styles
that generate money for themselves. Instead of advising novice Traders to focus on
what suits their personality. For example, Forex brokers tend to keep promoting Day
Trading Forex. However, Forex is extremely highly leveraged and not suitable for
most novice Traders from a temperament and risk tolerance point of view. Many
such examples abound in the Trading industry.
In uncovering this secret, your aim is to find out which style(s) suit you. Trading only
the styles that match your temperament and lifestyle and avoid the other styles. For
example, if you are busy in a full-time job that runs during normal Market hours, you
are probably better off not trying Day Trading. And if your temperament does not
have the patience needed for entering a Long Term Investment and then take your
hands off for weeks and months; Long Term Investment may not be for you. If you
are not psychologically ready to put a Stop Loss after you enter a Swing Trade or if
you tend to book small profits but let losses run, then you may better off staying
away from Swing Trading. These are few examples. There are other factors that
influence ones fitment to these three Trading styles.
Your first job is to find that out which styles you will trade; before actually starting to
Trade with real money with your full investing capital. Trying to find that out by
taking trades with a demo account or trading with paper money will not serve that
purpose. You will most likely not have enough internal psychological feedback from
such paper money trading to find out which style is suiting or not suiting you.
Instead, you may Trade with very small amount of money that you can afford to lose
(taking it as a learning fee) and make a few trades of each style to figure out which
one feels most harmonious to you. Once you find your comfort styles; stick to those.
Ones temperament or lifestyle does not change often - so you are not required to
do this exercise several times. To make sure you are learning from the exercise,
write down how you feel when identifying the opportunity, entering the trade,
exiting the trade. This diary will show you, like a mirror, what style matches your
temperament and lifestyle.
Coming back to my Trading styles, after I have become comfortable with all of them,
I may not Trade all of these styles at the same time or use the same Market. I will
explain below when I use which style and on which Market.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 6 of 34
I run the explorer CUE Pendulum Low to find that out. You may picture a Market
moving like a Pendulum does between two ends. This Market Pendulum moves
between the higher price levels and lower price levels. And I use the CUE Pendulum
Low Explorer to create a shortlist of Markets that have fallen enough. Then I start
looking for buying opportunity in this shortlist.
How do I pinpoint the exact entry day for my Long Term Investment?
For this, I run the CUE explorers that identify Long Entry points.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 7 of 34
There are several CUE explorers that pinpoint Long entry day. Two of them attempt
to catch the recent bottom: CUE Stretch Release Bullish and CUE Headwind Long.
And one of them catches the first swing low after the Candle waves start to go up:
CUE Go With Flow Long. I will explain each of these three Trade setups in more
detail in later sections.
Swing Trading
Here I am trying to enter and exit a trade in the span of a few days to a few weeks
maximum. For this, I have a prepared list of robust and some not so robust Stocks.
As I am going to hold the Trade only for a short duration, the Stocks do not have to
be as robust as in the case of Long Term Investment. Still, I avoid trading purely
speculative Stocks or Penny Stocks. And add to that Futures, Forex when I like.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 8 of 34
Unlike for Long Term Investment, I dont wait for the Market to fall to Pendulum Low.
All I need is to pinpoint the entry day. I do that by running the CUE explorers like
Stretch Release, Headwind, and Go With Flow, etc. Yes. The same explorers that I
use for finding the actual entry day in for Long Term Investments. Only, in this case,
the Markets do not need to be in Pendulum Low for me to enter a Trade. And for
Swing Trade, I run a pair of explorers: one for Long and one for Short. For example,
Go With Flow Long for Trend Following Long Trade and Go With Flow Short for Trend
Following Short Trade. Such running of explorers to find both Long and Short
opportunities allows me to make a profit in both up trending market as well as in
down trending market. I will delve much deeper in these Swing Trading Setups in
later sections.
Day Trading
Here I am entering and exiting a trade on the same day. For Day Trading, I tend to
use higher leverage instruments; like Futures. That is because of lower leveraged
instruments; like Stocks; need a lot of capital to be invested in making a profit worth
the time spent in Day Trading. On the other hand, due to the higher leverage, the
same percentage move in Futures give a much higher profit than trading Stocks.
Some countries and exchanges have listed Stock Futures. Such Stock Futures
provide much higher leverage than the underlying Stock. And their movements
mirror that of the underlying stocks. If one has a robust Day Trading System that
generates consistent profit, then using the Stock Futures will generate higher profit
instead of trading the underlying Stock. And this may be the preferred approach;
assuming that one indeed has a successful Day Trading System. Also, in some
countries and exchanges, Index Futures are listed (for example, S&P500 E-Mini
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 9 of 34
Futures in the USA). And these could also be Day Traded successfully. The above
discussion does not imply in any way that one cannot use Stocks for Day Trading. It
is merely a matter of personal preference and capital in hand.
Another possibility is to use Options on Stock, ETF or Index to take Day Trade. And I
use this approach quite often provided the instrument has liquid Options with
narrow bid-ask spread. Trading Weekly Options, if those exists, is more lucrative
than using Monthly Options for Day Trading. Those Weekly Options give very high
percentage profit if one can catch the trade direction correctly.
However, even if one has the time to spend for Day Trading, I discourage a
beginning Trader to start with Day Trading. And certainly advise against starting a
trading career with Day Trading of higher leverage instruments like Futures or Forex
or Options. The promise of huge money from Day Trading Futures, Forex and
Options almost always comes true. The only problem is that it does not come true
for the novice trader. Instead, it comes true for the brokerage houses and
professionals who take the other side of the novices trades. The professionals have
much better control of their trade execution and have lot deeper pockets. A
beginning Trader is unlikely to have either of those in the beginning.
I will not delve into Day Trading further in this article. The curious among you may
follow the links below to see how I take Day Trades using CUE Trading System: how I
identify the opportunity; how I enter and how I exit the trades.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 10 of 34
again, the same clarity lets me choose whether to use Options or Futures or Forex
for Day Trading.
Conversely, I am not trading Futures for Long Term Investment. That is not in my
comfort level. Also, I am not Day Trading a Market that moves less, for example,
broad market index ETFs like SPY, QQQ, DIA. If I at all want to Day Trade such broad
markets, I prefer to use Options or Futures on them. For example, Weekly Options
on SPY, QQQ, DIA which are liquid with narrow bid-ask spreads. Or E-Mini Futures on
S&P500, NASDAQ, and DJI which provides high leverage and moves in sync with
SPY, QQQ, DIA.
Such clarity has become an integral part of my Trading. How to get this clarity? The
first step is of course to uncover secret one for yourself - to find out which styles
you like to Trade. And then make a plan to Trade that style. The plan covers the
Market situation where you apply your selected Trading style, the instrument you
use, the Trading System you use, risk management, position sizing, etc . And lastly,
to keep Trading using your plan over and over and over again until you can follow
the plan without thinking about it.
Like for secret number one, uncovering this second secret also requires trading with
real money. Trading with paper money often fools one into thinking that one can get
a similar result in real money account. That is not true for a variety of reasons. I
regularly explore these psychological factors in my Live Classes (these are often
open to public) when analyzing other Superior Profit Traders or my own recently
taken Trades. We call this exercise Trade Clinic. If you so desire, you may register for
the Live Classes here.

probably not because the Market was rigged. It is more likely because you did not
spend time and effort to find a Trading System that works for you.
Your Trading System is an important and essential part of your overall Trading plan
mentioned in secret number two. The Trading System dictates how you identify your
Trades, how you enter them and how you exit Trades. It also helps you contain risk
and lets you take higher probability Trades.
You would need to uncover this secret for yourself first before you start trading with
real money to uncover secrets one and two. And this is the area where I suggest
using demo account and paper money.
The aim of this step is to find a system that works for you; regarding what Markets it
allows you to Trade. Whether it has a logical basis, that appeals to you. You may use
several approaches to identify a robust system. For example, are there live Trade
examples shared by Traders using this Trading System in a publicly accessible forum
that you can access? Is there sufficient educational material (video, book, etc.) that
explains the system easily understandable terms? Can you attend live classes to
learn how other Traders use the system? Is there high-quality support by a real
person whom you can access by phone, email, forum? Is their approach authentic
and sincere? Or are they trying to rope you in with freebies only to impose upon you
the need to pay one fee after another for never ending list of things you need to
buy? Is there a trial offer that the company can give you to try the system out?
These are few of the things that I looked for when uncovering this secret number
three for myself.
Admittedly, your criteria for choosing a system may be different from mine.
However, I will like to advise that you find a system that meets at least the following
essential technical characteristics.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 12 of 34
For now, let me share the CUE Hop On template; the chart template that I use to
make most of my Trade entry decisions within sixty seconds.
This template has several signals - fifteen to be precise. In the standard CUE Hop On
template, there are also Support and Resistance Memory lines; which are
automatically drawn smart trend lines coming from a few days back or a few years
back; that presents areas of support and resistance.
CUE Advanced Hop On template has three more additional signals: Stretch signal to
show overbought/oversold condition and Stretch Release to show when a Market
comes out of Overbought/oversold condition. Stretch and Stretch Release helps take
very low-risk Reversal Trades at Memory or Watermark support/resistance levels.
Watermark levels in CUE Advanced Hop On template shows swing highs and lows
and helps to quickly identify sideways Market and the possibility of taking reversal
Trades using Stretch Release that follows.
Many signals in these CUE readymade templates. However, they all are easy to read
because of their consistent color coding and logical grouping into CUE templates.
There is no look back days parameter to be set. There is no threshold to be
watched. There is no need to squint your eyes to identify the
convergence/divergence of indicators.
Some CUE indicators are line indicators; drawn as continuous lines. For these linestyle indicators, all you need is to evaluate is if they are going up or down. Other
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 13 of 34
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 14 of 34
As you can see, each and every indicator in the Advanced Hop On template looks
different by design. And this CUE Advanced Hop On template includes all the
indicators needed to identify, enter and exit Trades.
Once you are used to the CUE Charts; you would be able to take such Trades
confidently. How long does it take to start using the CUE Charts in your Trades?
Typically, it takes about one week to go through the extensive Education Center
training materials (videos, books, blogs). You can start using the CUE System from
there. And the more you attend our Live Classes; you will not only use CUE System
efficiently; but also start anticipating Trades and wait for the CUE signals to line up.
And once they do, you will execute the Trades without second guessing.
The CUE Advanced Hop On Template I shared above is meant for Trade entry. There
are similarly easy to read chart templates for exiting a trade (CUE Hop Off
template), to visualize Markets in Pendulum extremes (CUE Pendulum template),
and many other Market evaluations. All the CUE templates are explained in detail in
Superior Profit Templates Quick Reference that you may read or download from
Books in Education Center.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/

Once you read through the checklist, you will notice that there is no ambiguity in
interpreting the list of requirements for this Go With Flow trade setup. You just need
to see if the colors of the Candle or non-line-style indicators match the checklist
criteria. And you need to see if the line-style-indicators are going up or down as
required in the checklist. That is all.
You can now go back to the CUE Advanced Hop On Template of Tesla shown earlier
that included all the CUE indicators by name and apply the Go With Flow Bearish
Trade checklist items one by one. You will find that you can identify the trend
following Short entry day quite easily.
Such precise and unambiguous checklist based Trade entry rules are there for all
the other CUE Trade setups; namely; Headwind and Bounce setups. The book
Superior Profit Trade Signals Quick Reference includes the complete checklists for
all the Superior Profit Trade setups. I will go through these three Trade setups in
more detail later in this article.
Minimum Criteria III) Trades that are by design Low Risk and High
Probability Trades
Inherent in the CUE explorers, CUE chart templates, and CUE Trade entry checklists
are the principle that all CUE Trade types; Go With Flow, Headwind, and Bounce; are
Low-Risk High Probability Trades. This Low-Risk High Probability nature of Trades is a
definite requirement of any Trading System you chose. And it must be an inherent
aspect of all the Trade setups of the Trading System.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 17 of 34
confident about what your chart is telling you: to go Long or go Short or Stand Aside
or all of the above!
CUE charts and checklist based Trade rule allows me to identify, enter and then exit
trades quickly and in a disciplined, pre-planned manner.
By the time another Trade; one who is not using CUE System; finally figure out
whether there is a trade or not for one Market, I have already browsed through ten
or twenty Markets. That gives me another edge. The edge of speed. I like to say that
if it takes more than sixty seconds to identify a Trade on CUE charts, then the Trade
opportunity is not there. This edge of speed is mandatory for Day Trading. And is
valuable to have in Swing Trading and Long Term Investment; especially if you are
trying to enter the Trade just before Market close (as I often do) based on confirmed
checklist of trade setups of your system.
There is also a psychological reason behind the need of this edge of speed. Once
you see a cat, you know it is a cat. When you see a dog, know it is a dog. It does not
take much time. If you are taking longer, probably you are trying to justify a mouse
to be a cat or dog. It is not there. Do not spend time matching the shape of a
mouses face or its nostrils to that of a cat or a dog. Move on to next animal that
comes along the way. In Trading, move on to next chart. CUE Systemss edge of
speed helps in focusing on the clearly obvious Trades without falling victim of bias.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 18 of 34
How to go about testing a system that works for you in real Market? I suggest that
you start using your preferred system; whichever system that might be; with paper
money first. Use it with paper money until you can make entry/exit decisions at the
right edge of the chart within sixty seconds. Record the trades in a Trading diary so
that the results are well documented. Observe if the system is working as expected.
See if you have the temperament to use the system as it was meant to be used.
See if the Trades were Low-Risk High Probability Trades. And see the final result - did
it make you profit or not?
This testing at the right edge of the charts may take a while. But it is worth
spending that time. You probably wont jump into the deep ocean without first
learning how to swim. You most likely wont try skydiving before meticulously
learning how to open a parachute while falling at breakneck speed in thin air. Then,
why would you not spend the time to learn to Trade using your selected Trading
System before jumping in the very competitive Market with real money? Give it
some thought before you put your hard-earned money in the next live Trade.
Dont believe the often heard adage that no one learns to make a profit in the
Market without losing a fortune. That is true only if you did not spend the time to
learn to Trade first before starting to trade with real money. If you did spend the
time to find a system that works for you and test it as I mentioned above, you dont
have to lose a fortune; not even a small part of a fortune; for Trading profitably in
the Market.
To be successful Trader, everyone needs to learn to Trade first. You need to do the
same. And see that you can Trade profitably with paper money in a disciplined way
using your Trading System. Then; and only then; is the time to move to real money
trading and uncover the secrets one and two that I mentioned earlier.

Since I left my job in the corporate world, I am a full-time Trader. And having a
system that allows me to Trade in all possible Market conditions helps to put my
money to work at all times. I often post the Trade ideas I use myself in real life
Trading in Superior Profit Traders Community; before I know how it will play out.
I explained earlier; using Tesla stock as the instrument; how CUE Advanced Hop On
templates is used to enter all types of Swing Trades.
I will illustrate a few more real life trades below; taken from the Trade ideas that I
posted in publicly accessible Superior Profit Traders Community before the
outcomes were known. And each was taken under different Market conditions.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 20 of 34
Ten of total eleven trades identified in the USO chart above made profit. That is
more than 90% success rate. Where would I put my Stop for the above trades on
USO? I use the CUE Protection signal for that as illustrated below.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 21 of 34
As you may see, the CUE Protection puts the Stop safe distance away from entry
price so that it does not get whipsawed. At the same time, it is not so far as to erode
significant capital in case of a stopped out Trade. I use this CUE Protection signal for
setting Stop on all of my Swing Trades and also for Long Term Investments.
Now, let me take a recent trade idea I shared in our Traders Community to illustrate
the Go With Flow Short trade while the Stock was at relatively high level. This Trade
was posted in Superior Profit Traders Community on 12th August 2016, and you may
read that post here. Below chart illustrates this Go With Flow Short trade on Royal
Gold (RGLD) in USA market.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 22 of 34
As mentioned earlier, I had set the Stop for the above RGLD Trade using CUE
Protection signal (which is part of CUE Hop Off template). That Stop was never
touched. And the Trade was closed with profit at preplanned price target.
Such trend following Go With Flow Trades can be found almost every day using CUE
Go With Flow Long and Short explorers. Allowing me to Trade profitably in up
trending as well as in down trending Markets.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 23 of 34
For reliable support/resistance, I use CUE Watermark level, CUE Memory Line or CUE
Decision Range Line.
CUE Watermark indicator draws the extremes of the Market's previous wave/leg up
or down.
Memory lines are automatically drawn ascending or descending Trend lines that are
drawn connecting past anchor points. The anchor points may be from a few days
ago. Or it may be from a few years ago. As they are drawn from past points, I call
them Memory lines.
Decision Range lines are horizontal Yearly and Quarterly Pivot lines and a series of
three Support/Resistance levels around them (S1/S2/S3 and R1/R2/R3).
After a sudden move if the Market stops with exhaustion at any of these
Support/Resistance levels, it is highly likely that Market will reverse. At least enough
for a quick, profitable Swing Trade. However, I dont hurry in the trade. I wait
patiently for the CUE Stretch Release signal to appear and then take the trade.
Using Stretch Release usually results is minuscule Stop. And this results in a High
Probability Low-Risk Trade.
What is CUE Stretch Release? Let me explain this CUE indicator now.
As you may anticipate, because of the sudden move, the Market is expected to be
in overbought/oversold condition by the time it hits Support/Resistance levels. This
shows up in CUE Charts as Stretch dots (as if a rubber band has been stretched). I
dont enter the Trade as yet. I patiently wait for the overbought/oversold condition
to go away. That shows up as easy to read down/up arrow on the Candle chart. And I
take my trade at that point. Stretch Release is a very responsive signal, and it
allows me to catch almost the absolute top or bottom of the exhaustion move.
As this trade setup seems like catching a softball bouncing from a Support or
Resistance, I call this setup Bounce setup.
Below is a black and white chart of Chesapeake Energy (CHK) traded in USA market.
Would you not be happy to buy the stock at point 1 and book some profit quickly at
point 2 and then continue to hold it as of today (4th September 2016). The stock is
giving 62% profit in this span of about three months.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 24 of 34
It all looks easy in hindsight. But how did I buy it on 24th May while it was at a very
low point after falling a lot? How did I catch the almost low point of the swing? I did
it confidently and took very small risk by using CUE Bounce setup as explained in
the chart below.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 25 of 34
I had posted this trade idea in Superior Profit Community on 24th May. You may read
that post here. And I had explained the trade in a detailed blog later. You may read
that blog here.
CUE Bounce Trade may also be taken when the Market bounces from other CUE
support/resistance levels. For example, this trade shows how I took a CUE Bounce
trade using Memory lines.
I easily identify Bounce Trade opportunities using the CUE Bounce Long and CUE
Bounce Short explorers.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 26 of 34
When a Market trend is becoming weak, this weakness may not be visible from price
movement or from Candle chart itself. However, CUE Headwind signal provides a
sign of such weakness before the Market reverses. It is as if the Market is
encountering Headwind while trying to go up in up trending Market. Or facing
resistance while Market is trying to continue falling in a down trending Market. Price
still continues in prevailing direction. However, Headwind shows up on the CUE
charts.
Superior Profit traders use headwind signal to Book Profit or Tighten Stop in existing
position in current trend direction. And with the support of an unambiguous
checklist, allows a trader to take a Trend Reversal Contrarian Headwind trade.
Headwind Trend Reversal strategy allows a trader to catch the trade much before a
price action trader realizes that the trend is reversing. As Headwind signal shows up
pretty much at the top or bottom of a swing, Headwind strategy provides attractive
Reward Risk Ratio; small stop loss risk and potentially very high profit.
I will illustrate this Headwind trade setup with a trade idea that I shared in our
Traders Community. You may read that post here. Below chart illustrates this
Headwind Short trade on Constellation Brands (STZ) in USA market.
http://www.SuperiorProfit.co/
Page 27 of 34
I easily identify potential Headwind Trades using CUE Headwind Long and CUE
Headwind Short explorers.
What is the difference between Bounce and Headwind Trade setups? Both Bounce
and Headwind setup allow me to take reversal Trades. But they are different setups.
And the difference lies in the base signal that is used for the setups; that is, the
difference between Stretch Release and Headwind indicators.
CUE Stretch Release and Headwind signals are very different. In fact, every indicator
used in CUE Charts is different; they use different calculation and tell a different
story of the price move that is not obvious from the Candle charts.
CUE Stretch; and Stretch Release are calculated based on the strength and
weakening of that strength respectively of the immediate price move leg up or
down. Whereas, Headwind calculates the weakening (Bearish Headwind) or
strengthening (Bullish Headwind) across price swings; not for the current price leg
but across several price legs.
Stretch Release is very responsive to price move, and I used it for fast turning
situations like in Bounce setup. I also use Stretch Release effectively for Day Trades.
Whereas, I use Headwind for Swing Trade and Long Term Investment.

When you are not following your system; you are not Trading in a systematic way.
And your Trading account is surely going to reflect the ill outcome of that - in
simpler terms; the account is going to lose money over time. I have not seen any
other outcome for any Trader who does not follow his Trading System.
Over the years, I have learned to listen to myself. And I suggest you do the same.
Whenever your internal emotion is sending you any of the above mentioned or
other stress signals, you need to take action to resolve it and not just wait for the
Trade to play out its course. How?
You would exit the Trade if you entered it not following your system. You would
reduce the Trade size if the size were too big. Etc.
Taking such corrective action also feeds your self-confidence that you are a
systematic Trader. That confidence is not nice to have. It is essential. This belief that
you are not a gambler in the Market. The belief that you are indeed a disciplined
Trader is the first characteristic to build if you want to be successful in the Market.
Listening to own internals; not ignoring it; and taking action to resolve it
immediately helps reduce stress, builds confidence as a disciplined Trader. More
importantly, it improves overall Trading profit. Which is our ultimate goal in Trading.
Epilogue.
Well, those were my secrets of success in investing. It took a while to discover them.
But I did it, and it works well for me now.
The way I Trade is not the only way in the world. And it may not be the only possible
way. There are billions of people in the world. To claim that my way is only, or the
best way would be ridiculous; as I could not possibly meet them all up in this life of
mine.
