Discover 27 Intraday Trading Principles in Practice: AI Speed Meets Manual Wisdom
Introduction
Intraday trading demands strict discipline: you must master dozens of rules on strategy, risk, and psychology to succeed. But what if you could both learn these essential manual rules and see exactly how Tickeron’s AI applies them—automatically, without emotion or hesitation? In this article, we’ll cover the 27 core trading rules every manual trader should know and demonstrate how our AI platform internalizes each one for consistent, scalable performance.
1. Trading Method & Strategy (Rules 1–10)
- Build a system with an edge.
- Have a full plan before trading.
- Trade your signals, not opinions.
- Understand every instrument 100%.
- Trade in‑trend on your timeframe.
- Trade what is happening, not what you think should happen.
- Optimize entry/exit signals.
- Manage evolving risk/reward.
- Long in uptrends; short in downtrends.
- Only trade when you have an edge.
How AI Uses These Rules:
- Pre‑Built, Backtested Systems: Tickeron’s AI arrives with strategies exhaustively backtested across years of data, ensuring a proven edge.
- Objective Signal Execution: AI follows entry and exit rules derived from price action—never deviating into gut‑feel trades.
- Real‑Time Trend Detection: AI continuously filters for the dominant trend on each timeframe, only taking trades that align.
- Adaptive Signal Optimization: As market conditions shift, the AI retrains models daily, refining entry/exit criteria for maximum profitability.
2. Risk Management (Rules 11–17)
- Never risk > 1% of capital per trade.
- Position‑size based on stop distance and volatility.
- Never risk your lifestyle on a single trade.
- Avoid “risk of ruin.”
- Diversify to limit single‑asset exposure.
- Maintain favorable risk/reward ratios (e.g., 1:3).
- Avoid big losses—they kill performance.
How AI Uses These Rules:
- Automated 1% Risk Cap: Every AI trade is sized so maximum loss never exceeds 1% of account equity.
- Volatility‑Adjusted Sizing: The AI calculates position size using ATR and intraday volatility metrics, ensuring consistent risk across symbols.
- Dynamic Diversification: AI spreads capital across multiple assets, capping exposure to any one security to prevent blow‑ups.
- Programmatic Stops & Targets: Risk/reward ratios are built into each strategy; stops and profit targets execute automatically, eliminating human delay.
- Drawdown Controls: If losses approach a user‑defined threshold, the AI can pause trading or switch to defensive strategies to preserve capital.
3. Trading Psychology (Rules 18–27)
- Don’t trade so big it raises your heart rate.
- Avoid positions that trigger fear or stress.
- Each trade is 1 of 100—no ego.
- Focus on your plan in real time, not hindsight.
- Forget past trades; focus on the next.
- View losses as tuition, not failure.
- If you followed your plan, a loss is part of the process.
- Don’t let size compromise your composure.
- Never revenge‑trade.
- Base signals on price action, not emotion.
How AI Uses These Rules:
- Emotion‑Free Trading: Tickeron’s AI is impervious to fear, greed, or ego—never revenge‑trades or hesitates after a loss.
- 100% Plan Adherence: Every rule—entry, exit, stop placement—is enforced automatically, ensuring perfect discipline.
- Instant Reset: After each trade, the AI immediately readies the next setup—no dwelling on mistakes or past outcomes.
- Consistent Execution: AI never overtrades or second‑guesses signals, maintaining focus strictly on the predefined plan.
Additional AI Advantages
- Speed & Scale: AI processes tick‑level data across dozens of markets simultaneously—far beyond human capability.
- 24/7 Market Coverage: While you sleep, the AI scans global markets for opportunities and manages open positions.
- Adaptive Learning: Machine‑learning models detect emerging patterns and update strategies in real time.
- Transparent Analytics: Detailed dashboards show how each rule and signal contributes to performance, enabling continuous improvement.
