Graham’s Trading Journey
Beginning with a broad range of stocks in his youth, Graham evolved from a day trader into a disciplined, specialized strategist.
Years of navigating market conditions, dynamics, and bubbles molded his philosophy of patience, structure, and intuition.
Graham’s Trading Style: Breakout Strategy
Graham specializes in trading one or two stocks, combining technical indicators with a simplified Elliott Wave analysis.
Aware of the shifting momentum in the markets, he now focuses on Tesla instead of trading AMD.
More About Graham
He started his trading career at the Vancouver Stock Exchange in the 80s. Bill Williams’ book Trading Chaos broadened Graham’s horizons, setting the foundation for his career.
During the Dotcom bubble, he earned $200,000 to $400,000 monthly for a Canadian mutual fund.
Graham’s Tips
- Cut the noise: “To really get into the zone, you need less information. I should know within 10 seconds whether I should be long, short, or flat in this market. And it’s difficult at times; you got your phones, you got this, you can trade anywhere. Everybody is so distracted. It’s ridiculous.”
- 4 stages of learning: “There’s Unconscious incompetence – you don’t know what you don’t know, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, and last, unconscious incompetence – you don’t have to think about it, you just know.”
- Rules and structure: “It’s very important, you have to have structure, you have to have rules. You have to know when to break it. If you have put in your hours, it’s crucial that you devise a plan out of a structure. And then as you become more proficient, you let your intuitiveness come in, your instincts.”
