Author: China Shop Productions March 20, 2026 Duration: 1:09:06

In this episode, we sit in on a live trading session as Cam walks Joel through the exact framework he uses to evaluate high-probability trades.

Built on years of studying price action and institutional behavior, Cam’s system focuses on identifying when multiple signals align — and scaling position size based on conviction. This is a practical, rules-based approach designed to eliminate guesswork and improve consistency.
