• How Trade The Path works, step by step

  Six steps take a ticker from three years of daily closes to one buy price, one sell price and one date — with the evidence for each printed beside it.

• Why trend channels work, and when they do not

  A channel is not magic geometry. It works for one reason and fails for four, and both lists are short enough to check.

• When to buy a stock, based on the chart

  The entry price does more work than the exit, the position size or the story. Here is how to pick one and how to know it has arrived.

• When to sell a stock

  Three exits decided in advance beat any amount of judgement applied while the position is open. Two of them will feel wrong at the time.

• A swing trading strategy you can state in five lines

  Days to weeks, one price to buy, one to sell, one to admit you were wrong. Everything else is decoration.

• Support and resistance, drawn honestly

  Anyone can draw a line that fits the past. The test is whether price has repeatedly turned at it — and how you would know if it had not.

• Stock price predictions, explained honestly

  A projected price is a measurement of past behaviour extended forward. Treat it as a conditional expectation, not a promise, and it becomes useful.

• Stop loss and take profit, placed before you buy

  Both exits belong in the market at the moment you enter. Everything that goes wrong afterwards goes wrong in the gap between deciding and doing.

• Dollar cost averaging, price by price

  Buying in instalments only helps when the instalments are triggered by price. Here is the difference, and how to place the whole plan in one go.

• Paper trading without fooling yourself

  A paper account can prove you can follow a plan. It cannot prove the plan makes money, and confusing the two is expensive.
