Today was all about approach. Some traders are hunting mean reversion — I’m not that guy. I’m trading levels, breakouts, and structural moves. That’s how I stay aligned with the flow, especially when trend days throw curveballs at reversion setups.
But here’s the beauty: no matter your style, you’ve gotta know the context. Are you on a trend day or range day? Are you fading strength or riding momentum? I broke it down using real trades — like XLE and Disney — and showed how I’d handle both sides using intraday tactics or longer swing trades with options. It’s not just theory — it’s execution.
