tradewithstan is a long term trade platform, it does not do short term trading such as day trades or even swing tradings. In other words, we only buy and hold for typically months (or longer) hence many of these trades usually have very wide stop losses or sometimes even no stop losses.
For example, if u are onboard since last year, u would realise that there were many China trades that were taken during weakness aka dip buying and it went even lower for awhile but there was also no stop losses for them, which later in turned reversed and turn into profitable trades.
Similarly, for US, we entered 2025 as a bull market, odds of a bear market or a deep correction is super unlikely. Hence, trades were place with the long term objective of them going higher. However nobody would have expected the president to do such a stunt and these are obviously “man-made” events and usually for such events they tend to end quickly (such as wars or whatever negative news) but things didn’t go as planned as the tariffs now escalated even further (which nobody will have foreseen that) even profession hedge funds are deep in margin calls and liquidation from the recent market turmoil since Feb.
Of course, not everything is to be blamed on the markets but I would also have to admit that there are also some mistakes made on several trades and on hindsight should have been handled better but now that things have developed till todays stage, the game plan forward is to wait for a temporary relief rally to decide if we should cut some of the losses (at a lower loss) and then I will likely be doing some shorter term trades to try to profit and “fight back” the losses for subscribers (in face of such volatility and uncertainty in the medium term) however we do not guarantee any form of returns.
Our Plan for tradewithstan
As you should already know, tradewithstan copies my positional trades but they are another set of stocks based on a very different set of entry rules so it might be different from those posted in my Discord Server since some of you are wondering. I will likely start placing short term trades for tradewithstan subscribers (when there are valid strong setups) in an attempt to help our subscribers potentially "gain back" their losses (Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee that you will gain back) as swing trading is my strongest type of trading. My positional account is also down around 30% which is very rare for Q1.
Our developers are also working to support option trading as soon as possible as I would like to utilise options during this period to achieve the same goal. Support for option trading should be ready by the end of this month.
tradewithstan is already able to follow my short trades as this feature has been implemented a few months ago. I've not made any short trades yet since then but it's ready to replicate when I do. Of course, shorting is only available for those with a margin trading account.
