If we’re being honest with ourselves, we think every trade will be an epic winner.
Trading provides the perfect opportunity to prove how intelligent we are—that we have this magical gift hidden deep within our brains.
Like the plot of so many Hollywood movies, some no-name dude from some no-name town doing nothing important turns out to be a secret genius.
We hear some news or have an idea, and without hesitation, we plow into the trade.
There are no mechanics to it, no risk management, and no idea where to place the stop or where to take profits.
This happens again and again. Some trades work, some work for a while, then fail, and some just rip your heart out.
Everyone on the internet tells you just how easy trading is.
Yesterday, everything was bullish. Things looked calm and easy.
Today, the market rallied, then fell apart.
What happens tomorrow?
Everyone is talking about inflation, deflation, stagflation, the Dollar, the Yen, Crude oil, world wars, US Debt Ceilings, tariffs, over employment, unemployment, layoffs, rate hikes, Fed pivots, World War 3, 4, 5…any reason to justify their point.
But no matter how often you think you have this trading thing figured out and are on easy mode, everything changes in a moment.
Do you want to know how I do it?
Tucked in bed at night, sleeping soundly without worrying about a 2008 Global Financial Crisis scenario or what company will go bankrupt tomorrow.
This morning, I woke up, made some coffee, hung out with my family, and took my time getting going.
There was no rushing to check the markets, refresh my Twitter (X?), or CNBC telling me how to think about anything, everything, whatever.
I have my new trade entries entered and am waiting to get filled.
The trades I’m in have their stops in and targets ready.
Risk is managed through position sizing, which is the most significant factor. And so I am not worried about the world ending.
In the worst-case scenario, I get stopped out and give back some profits.
And I show up to work the next day knowing that the system, over time, will outperform.
It’s an incredible trading system that has blown me away with how consistent and relaxing it is to trade.
Here’s a screenshot of the Curvy system performance from 2019 to 2023.
Can you point to the March 2020 COVID crash, the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, or the 2022 bear market on this chart?
You can’t, and that’s the point. Even during some of the wildest market conditions of our lifetime, the Curvy system stays consistent.
This is the evolution of my trading journey, taking what I’ve learned from those who I’ve worked with over the years, my mentors and fellow traders, perfectly encapsulated by the saying:
“If I have seen further [than others], it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Isaac Newton
I wanted to build a system that could quickly identify when a trade setup was happening and, more importantly, when there wasn’t a setup. Why sit in front of my computer like Pavlov’s dog waiting for the bell?
Very simple to follow.
Scalable across stocks, futures, currencies, crypto, and rates.
It is my core system for trading Global Macro.
It’s a system that can handle multiple trades in multiple markets simultaneously…but works just as well in only one if for example you want to day trade.
Does not require special software, data, algorithms, or licenses.
You can trade it on all time frames.
I regularly both day trade and swing trade the curvy system.
Most Importantly, other traders have been able to do the same in a very short period of time.
I have personally tested and traded the system on these, and all had similar results…it’s consistent.
I gotta be honest, it’s more boring than it is exciting to trade this system, because it’s so predictable and repeatable.
Trading this system has changed everything for me.
When managing my swing trading book, I do it all at the end of the trading day, after all the action, relaxed, calm, and without that artificial stress of getting the trades on time.
I let the trades come to me.
When a trade shows up, I take it.
If it’s a losing trade, that’s fine. On average, the system will make money if I follow the rules and trade it consistently.
My ego is not connected to the outcome of any of my trades. I’m trading a system with randomness installed as a feature, so I expect to win and lose.
If you’re ready to stop tying your intelligence and confidence to the outcome of every trade, and take on a professional trading system then Curvy (That’s the name of the system) is ready for you!
Whether you are trading a macro book, your retirement account or day trading futures, this system will get you dialed in and create a SOLID FOUNDATION for the rest of your trading career.
Wouldn’t it be amazing to look back at the end of the year and see how far you’ve come by focusing on a consistent system…instead of struggling to survive in the market?
This is the exact system I use to trade every single day. It’s consistent, high expectancy, and easy to learn.
