A simple, rules-based framework for ETF swing trading — so you can grow without overtrading.
Intro:
Most traders lose money because they chase, guess, and trade too often.
The Market Edge approach is different — clear rules, fewer trades, and maximum conviction.
The Playbook
1️⃣ Track the Market First
VTI Total Market Index = master signal
Bullish: 5 EMA above 50 SMA → look for long entries
Bearish: 5 EMA below 50 SMA → avoid longs, go to cash, or use inverse ETFs
2️⃣ Trade in Trend
Long: SPXL, TQQQ, UPRO
Inverse: SPXS, SQQQ
Only trade with the Primary Trend
3️⃣ Entry Timing
Bullish: Price closes above 21 EMA after being below
Bearish: Price closes below 21 EMA after being above
4️⃣ Exit Timing
Bullish: Exit to cash when price closes below 50 SMA
Bearish: Exit inverse when price closes above 50 SMA
5️⃣ Risk Control
3–6 high-conviction trades/year
7% stop loss per trade
Never chase — wait for confirmation
Key Rules to Remember:
✅ Trade with the trend
✅ Let EMA/SMA guide you
✅ Quality > Quantity
