⚙️ Trading Strategy
Trade 10% range: buy support, sell resistance
Identifies stocks trading in a 10%+ range. Buys at support, sells at resistance, pocketing the 5% swing in between.
🎯 Best Suited For
Range-bound markets, consolidation periods
"Markets breathe in and out. I simply trade the breath."
📜 Why This Strategy Works
Most stocks, most of the time, trade in ranges. Penelope doesn't need trends—she needs rhythm.
