In Andrew Aziz’s book on trading, he makes a simple yet often overlooked point: write down your strategy and give it a name. It’s not about complicating things; it’s about clarity and discipline. Trading without a defined strategy is like driving without a map—you might get somewhere, but it’s probably not where you intended to go.

By writing your strategy down, you force yourself to think through the details: when to enter, when to exit, and how to manage risk. Naming it makes it easier to refer to, tweak, and build upon. It also makes the strategy feel more tangible—something you can trust and stick to when the heat of the market tests your emotions.

This isn’t just advice for beginners. Even seasoned traders benefit from keeping their strategies documented and refining them over time. Having it written down makes reviewing your trades and improving your approach so much easier.

Here, I’ll share the strategies I’ve developed, how I use them, and what I’ve learned along the way. They’re not perfect, but they’re mine—and naming them is the first step in making them better.
