A whole trading rule can fit in one line a beginner can “read out loud”.
Buy = Close > Highest(Close, 200)
Own it when it climbs above everywhere it has been all year.
Writing the rule was never the hard part.
Trusting it enough to follow was.

Someone messaged me asking which stock to buy.
> I told him honestly that I did not know, and that I did not need to.
> I follow rules I tested once, and now I sleep through nights that used to wreck me.
There is a quiet crowd of us who trade this way.
Once you are in it, the noise outside slowly stops mattering.

A trader watched his strategy take a loss he had seen coming and did nothing to stop it.
Tempting to override it, he thought, and let it ride anyway.
The loss was already in the plan, and the plan had been tested, so he stayed whole.

Two people buy the same stock on the same morning.
1. One read about it in a group chat an hour ago.
2. One ran the rule on twenty years of data and already knows when he will sell.
They look identical today.
A hard year will show they were never the same trader.

Dropped a new article on Substack yesterday.
If systematic trading is your thing, this one's worth your time.

New research on Substack!
Some trend filters charge 4% of your return every year for protection you could get free.
You don't feel it, because the equity curve still goes up.
That's the era paying, not the filter.
I priced all 20.
