Stay in a trade only while momentum lasts
  • Hiren states, “As long as there is momentum, I will stay. As soon as the momentum ends, I am out.”
  • This rule eliminates the temptation to hold positions through consolidation phases that drain capital.
  • By defining a clear exit trigger tied to momentum decay, he reduces the psychological strain of watching a stagnant position.
  • The approach also aligns with his goal of catching “small swings” rather than chasing large, uncertain moves.
