8+ years live trading Focus: FX & Indices Style: Disciplined • risk-first

I am Michael A. Wilson, an Independent Trader and ex-Financial Analyst. I focus on building a verifiable trading process: reading market context, defining clear entry/exit conditions, managing risk via R-multiples, and maintaining a strict trading journal to avoid repeated mistakes. My content prioritizes practicality over hype, and I never make guaranteed profit claims. Opinions are my own, not financial advice.

Experience & Trading Approach

Trading is decision-making under uncertainty. Thus, my articles follow a strict framework: context → setup → trigger → invalidation (SL) → target → position sizing. Knowing “when not to trade” is just as important as knowing when to execute.

01
Capital Preservation First Sizing by % risk; every trade has an SL; avoiding revenge trading.
02
Systematized via Checklists Setups must meet strict criteria; missing conditions mean no trade.
03
Measured via Journal & R Weekly/monthly tracking: win rate, avg R, common mistakes, plan adherence.
Writing principle: “If it’s uncertain, say it’s uncertain. If there’s data, show how it’s measured.”
