Trade Setups: Are these the least or most important part of your trading system?

DESCRIPTION:

Member Discussion – Trade Setups: Are these the least or most important part of your trading system?

Van Tharp, in his book Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom details that a random entry system can make money provided the stop loss point is far enough away from the market. Many traders tend to think the entry is the most important part of a trading system while others argue that money management and exits are more important. What are your thoughts?

In this meeting, a number of our members will discuss the entry system they use to enter a position.

This meeting will be on Tuesday August 12, 2025 at 5:00 pm PT, 6:00 pm MT or 8:00 pm ET.
