Intraday LONG bias is built around strong historical tendency
SHORT bias is selected where upside tendency is low
Pair trades are filtered to be conservative (correlation + spread + win-rate based)

Pick ONE style:

Directional intraday, OR
Hedged pair trade (do not mix full size).

Trade only with a trigger: ORB / VWAP reclaim-reject / first pullback.
Risk first: Define stop before entry, then follow your exit plan.
Journal EOD: Track whether seasonal bias helped and whether execution followed rules.

Intraday execution rules (simple, repeatable)

Rule #1: Don’t enter because the page says LONG/SHORT. Enter only when the market confirms.

Choose ONE trigger and master it:

Trigger A: ORB (Opening Range Breakout)

Mark the first 5-minute range
LONG only on break-and-hold above range with volume
SHORT only on break-and-hold below range with volume

Trigger B: VWAP Reclaim / Reject

LONG: reclaim VWAP and hold Or AP - ORB
SHORT: reject VWAP and make a lower high Or AP - ORB

Trigger C: First Pullback

Wait for first impulsive move
Enter first pullback to VWAP/EMA/prior swing

Risk rules (non-negotiable)

Default risk per trade: small and controlled
Stop behind structure (not in the middle)
One good trade beats five forced trades

Pair trading (hedge) playbook: Trade the spread, not the market

You LONG one stock + SHORT another, sized by a hedge ratio, aiming to profit from the relative spread.

Sizing:

Decide LONG notional
SHORT notional = LONG notional × hedge ratio

Execution: Enter both legs in the same 1–3 minute window.
Stops: Use spread-based stop (example: exit if spread moves against you).
Profits: Take profits in parts (example: 0.30%, 0.50%, 0.80% hedged spread).

Easy filters (so you don’t overthink)

Conservative: Corr ≥ 0.60 AND Win% ≥ 80%
Balanced: Corr ≥ 0.50 AND Win% ≥ 70% AND AvgSpread% ≥ +1.0%
Survival rule: If pair decouples due to stock-specific news, exit immediately.

No. It is for personal use only.

Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes—if you can follow rules, use small risk, and avoid forcing trades.
