10. 5 Modeling Techniques: Rules of Thumb Don’t start from scratch at the beginning; Consider modifying an existing strategy to fit your trading plan Articulate clearly the pattern you wish to identify – writing it down first (like a grocery list) can help clarify your purpose (vs. shopping while hungry) Draw your best trade on a chart and clearly label each axis – this works in selecting the correct alerts and filters for your timeframe Separate bullish or up-trending strategies from bearish or down-trending strategies – this allows for more ways to ‘stack the probabilities’ of movement in a certain direction Use the many support resources available!
