My Trading Style and how it's Different
Rethinking trading through a unified position book instead of multiple rigid strategies
🧠 Why I Don’t Use Strict Exit Criteria in My Trades
When I first started writing about how I trade, one question came up a lot —
“What’s your exit criteria?”
Truth is… I don’t have one in the traditional sense.
🧩 How Most Traders Think
Over time, while interacting with readers and fellow traders, I noticed a common pattern:
Most traders think in strategies — each with clear entry and exit rules.
They run multiple strategies at once, each adjusted and optimized on its own.
Makes sense. It’s clean, it’s structured, it’s easy to track.
🧠 How I Think About It
I do things a bit differently.
Rather than seeing trades as multiple separate strategies, I look at all my open positions as one single evolving strategy.
So instead of optimizing each strategy on its own, I adjust my entire position book as a whole, trying to get the best out of the combined state of my trades.
🎭 The Pros and Cons
Doing this gives me the freedom to hold positions longer and benefit from theta decay.
But — and it’s a big one — it also removes the clarity and structure of predefined exits.
It makes the whole thing… messier.
Yet, it fits my personality. I like the fluidity. I like adapting dynamically.
And that’s why none of the algos I’ve built have strict exit criteria either.
They operate on this same philosophy.
🤔 Will It Work Long-Term?
That’s still an open question.
It works for me right now.
But whether this style survives over the long run — we’ll see.
⚙️ Adjustments of Option Positions!
I have certain thoughts on adjusting positions when I see all the open positions as ongoing strategy. You can read about it in detail here -
💬 What Do You Think?
Do you believe in having strict exit rules?
Or do you prefer a more dynamic approach like this?
Would you ever consider merging your trades into a single “position book” view?
Hit reply or leave a comment — I’d love to hear how you approach exits in your trades.
There are million ways of playing a game of chess. Trading is like that. What works for you is the best for you. Looking at all the positions as a whole is also correct in its way. Because in the end how much you earn from your whole position is what matters not each and every individual trade. Keep sharing. Good read.
