The Herringbone Manifesto

You're human. FOMO will try to get you. Don't let it.

(FOMO: Fear Of Missing Out - fear of not being included in something that others are experiencing)

Forget about 200% in a day. That's how FOMO gets you.

Small, consistent wins compound better than crazy bets.

Stock doing great? Cool. Don't get excited.

Stock doing badly? Cool. Don't panic.

Just stick to the plan.

Set your risk. Set your reward. Walk away. Repeat.

No need to rush. Numbers work if you let them.

The math is in the brackets. Trust them.

Markets move how they move, not how you want them to move.

Your system works because it expects volatility.

Set your brackets once, let volatility do its work.

20% up in one stock and 5% down in another beats 10% up in just one stock. Simple math.

Different sectors, different patterns, different times. Spread your chances.

Never put everything in one place. Just don't.

If you can't sleep at night, your position is too big.

Pick a number. Stick to it.

Hit your daily goal? Sell.

Hit your stop loss? Sell.

No "just a bit more." No "maybe it'll bounce back."

No ego. No revenge trades. Move on.

Buy and set your exits. That's it.

No charts all day

No gambling

No stress

Put the money in, set your orders, walk away. Done.

If trading excites you, you're doing it wrong.

There is always an emotion preventing you from making money. Call it greed, call it fear, call it impostor syndrome, call it frustration, call it boredom. Boring means no emotions. No emotions means less errors. Less errors means more profit.

End goal: Set it and forget it.

Money in, money out. Don't watch the middle part.

The system never gets FOMO.
