Buy the Dip Model Revisited 391

Hi traders,

In this week’s episode of Trading Talk, we revisit a model first shown in Episode 300 — a strategy that has been running for nearly two years and across more than 1,000 trades. The logic remains simple but highly effective: buy the dip and let the winners run with a trailing stop.

Originally tested during volatile tariff-driven markets, this approach proved its resilience. By systematically entering on dips and allowing trailing stops to manage exits, the model captured extended moves while protecting profits on reversals.

Key Points from Episode 391

  • Revisiting a proven model first shared in Episode 300
  • Over 1,000 trades executed in nearly two years
  • Core logic: buy the dip, apply trailing stop to winners
  • Captures market moves while automatically securing profits

About This Model

The strength of this strategy lies in its consistency. Rather than chasing headlines, it applies mechanical rules that adapt to changing volatility. Whether during tariff announcements or calmer trading environments, the model relies on structured risk management to guide performance.

Why It Still Matters Today

With global markets facing uncertainty, strategies that blend simplicity with robust exit management remain critical. This model shows how traders can benefit from discipline over prediction, letting the algo do the work once the trade is placed.
