Day trading

If you trade full time for a living, it is not optional to focus on relative strength, narrative, and attention, it is your job.

Ignoring these factors isn’t “contrarian trading”, it’s passive hoping. You’re betting that weak positions will eventually get a random pump instead of actively positioning where capital, momentum, and interest are already aligned.

Active trading means you follow strength, understand why price is moving, and operate where liquidity and attention are present. Passive hoping means holding weak bags and waiting for the market to bail you out.

Clean, professional setups live at the intersection of:

Relative strength (where money is flowing), Narrative (why it should continue), Attention (where participation and liquidity exist).

If a trade doesn’t meet all three, it’s not a setup, it’s a hope trade. We all know that emotional trading is not profitable in the long run.
