An ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Preserve Capital for Stronger Setups

  • Not every trade will be a winner — and that’s by design.

  • Exiting near break-even keeps your account protected.

  • The goal is to stay liquid and ready to move into stronger, higher-probability opportunities.

  • Remember: sometimes the smartest trade is simply stepping aside.
