No Country for Bad Trades: What Happens After the Entry

No Country for Bad Trades: What Happens After the Entry

Author: China Shop Productions May 1, 2026 Duration: 1:02:07

Most traders focus on finding the perfect setup, but that’s not the hard part…

In this episode, Cam and Joel walk through real trades and real decisions; covering how to take profits, move stops, manage multiple positions, and decide when to rotate into something better.

They also zoom out to the bigger picture: position sizing, capital allocation, sector exposure, and how market conditions (not opinions) should drive your strategy.

If your entries are solid but your results aren’t, this is the missing piece.
