As I have said many times setup selection is the key. Unless you are able to define a good setup for yourself your trading is not going to progress much. Unless you define a setup you cannot train procedural memory.
Many traders with intention to become profitable traders would blow up their account before they can define a setup which works for them. Every successful trader has a setup or a bunch of setup they trade day in and day out. They become expert in their setup.
Setup is the controllable part of trading the external market is not.
To give you some ideas of good setups used by people I will be highlighting some of the blogs and books which have very well thought out setups. If you study these examples you will get many good ideas.
Beat the Market: Invest by Knowing What Stocks to Buy and What Stocks to Sell
Setup Idea: Use momentum and valuation to select stocks and time entries and exits.
What does this person do:Based on 25 years plus of data Kirkpatrick has developed a complete setup for trading value stocks with momentum.
Why I like this setup: When swing trading two things work momentum or news catalyst. This uses momentum along with value. Value stocks tend to outperform the market. A combination of the two is an excellent idea. Plus this setup is ideal for investors who do not have time to actively trade the market. It uses weekly data. All information necessary to trade the setup is disclosed by the author.
