The habits that keep a strategy alive: sizing, diversification, and horizon.
Risk & position sizing
Good analysis is only half the job — risk control is the other half.
Core habits
Position sizing — decide how much before you enter, based on what you would lose if wrong.
Diversification — do not let one name or sector dominate.
Time horizon — match the signal to your horizon; an intraday signal is noise to a long-term investor.
Combining signals
One signal is a hint; agreement across families (trend + momentum + volume) is conviction. Look for clarity (a clean read) and conviction (several signals aligned).
Size so that being wrong is survivable, and being right is meaningful.
