An Imaginable Life

My lifestyle has been built on the backbone of time. How can I get more of it, how can I spend more of it with the people I love, and how can I get more time to pursue my passions. I’m a traveler, a once hopeful freelancer in a market that slowly drains me the more I look at it. So what is my gradual route to gaining money on the road, the stock market. Yet long term investments, are long, penny stocks are short. Penny Stocks are volatile, and I’ve failed numerous times on accounts I dare not speak of.

But money is hard to come by as a non-collegiate graduate with mental health issues. Those of us looking for a van life, a mobile life, a work at home life, or maybe even a way to get off supplemental income, I’m offering a stance.

Penny stocks, volatile, unsafe. But how could it be safer?

I’m not here to gamble, this time at least. I’m here to build slowly, through our not so friendly penny stocks. A conundrum. It’s a place where you lose mortgages or bet your life savings. Yet a safe route, nearly impossible, while also giving me a glimpse of light towards the end of my tunnel.

I’ll be experimenting with a new route to success that’s repeatable with discipline and an understanding of the simple aspects of the market. With the help of YouTube and Warrior Trading. My little mentor, an inspiration in spreading his skills publicly has gifted me with the tools to build an account from the ground up. With my own special touch, a natural ratio that builds slowly on small success and exponential gain.

With warrior tradings classes, inspired by Ross Cameron himself, his most important small account advice is his five pillar criteria.

The Five Pillars Criteria

• Relative Volume (RVol): Must be high, generally 5x or more compared to the 30-day average, showing strong buyer interest.
• Daily % Change: Must show strong early momentum, typically up at least 10% from the previous close.
• News Catalyst: Breaking news like earnings or FDA updates should justify the price action (tracked via a “flame” indicator).
• Price Range: Focused on low-priced stocks, ideally between $1.00 and $20.00.
• Float Size: Low share supply available to the public, typically a maximum float of 10 million shares or fewer.

This is my baseline for filtering daily, through free on site filtering at Webull. This system provides me with the most volatile stocks, or as Ross Cameron puts it, momentum trading. It’s the first foundation in how I also look for stocks. The momentum allows for an hourly entry and exit. Make your series of trades, exit the market, turn your head and don’t look back.

My technique adds to his. In a slower, not so rich and experienced, yet safer fashion.

After a cold shower every morning, a cup of tea or coffee, I look over the news and examine my candidates.

The Concept

My daily goals are simple.

• I am aiming to approximately gain 7-10% on every trade, looking for a small profit, and capping my gains.
• Limiting or capping my floor to 2-3% exactly as well, thereby eliminating stress over losing big funds.
• Then walking away from my investment once I’ve made it. Stressing over the singular stocks success or failures, watching it moves bothers me when I could be looking up the next move instead. I’m also using an ancient laptop, there’s not much else to look at.
• The main goal is to don’t lose. The goal isn’t to win big, but not to lose. It’s to gain 7-10% as I stated.
• The mindset revolves around this being a complex saving account, putting it in your own hands to build a slow burning account daily.

This trading strategy allows for small gains, incremental. I’m not looking to pull out near the top, or even in the middle, but rather just above the floor without losing money.

By creating a space between the floor and ceiling, I can in theory generate income that can increase exponentially without touching my floor drastically. No lost accounts, not daring lose “large” funds or chasing the moon. Buy the stock, cap your floor and ceiling, walk away. The goal is not to day trade but to hourly trade (I’ll get more to why in awhile), taking power hour to the next level.

For weekly purposes there is a gap in potential loss vs potential gain, with gain running away with a miniature penny trophy.

For Graphic Purposes…within a 5 day week, a 7% cap gain and a 3% cap loss.

%gain (days won)	Profit/Loss	%loss (day lost)
7(1)	–$8	-3(5)
7(2)	$2	-3(4)
7(3)	$12	-3(3)
7(4)	$23	-3(2)
7(5)	$32	-3(1)
Winner	Every Week	Loser

As you can see there is a true winner every week.

5 days lost, you’ve lost -$8 dollars if the cap point hits exactly.

5 days won, you’ve gained +$32 on if the cap point hits exactly.

The odds are in your favor every week to make profit without risking heavy loss.

Now a 5 day win or loss day is unlikely, I’m also not stating make one trade a day. Make smart divided trades within the hour period. For example…

For me that means dividing my measly $400 funds into $100 dollar trades. That’s my current budget.

4 trades, 4 wins, $28. That’s $428 dollars tomorrow.

My maximum gain is $28 dollars on the first day, with exponential gain that starts to look appealing very quickly. The part is, it works against losses in the opposite direction, exponentially growing smaller losses if things trend towards failure.

4 trades, 4 losses, -$8. That’s $392 with the potential to lose less the next day.

It’s safe, safe volatile penny stock trading.

The max income of a 30 day 7% exponential gain on $100 dollars is $761.23. This is best case odds, the gains even in a smaller margin are quite generous.

This is the basics, I will slowly decide what percentage I will follow whether it be 7/3 ratio, 8/3 or even 10/3.

Yet the point is if I, or you, can persist through slow steady progress. There are benefits to be had. I am my own test, my account my own control. Let me hope simple mathematical knowledge and discipline going forward leads me to steady gains.

The Real Prize

My day is done, I walk away from the computer. An hour spent, news read, profits or losses considered without the stress of following each stock. Staring at her the screen hoping for a big win lotto ticket.

As a Schizophrenic survivor, I focus a lot on my mental health. The computer hurts, the time spent studying to make maximum profit takes away from my true passions. This concept pulls me away from the screen, focuses on a desirable power hour. It transcends the regret, or wishing I’d done something differently. It adds to my day in an emotionally positive way.

My goal of this pillar is to create a lifelong job that allows me to spend time chasing the beauty of life, the arts, the wildlife, friends, family. The idea isn’t to get rich but to fund a path towards a daily life where I can spend more time doing what I love with the people I love. Imagine working an hour a day, spending time with your kids and being able to afford a small family home.

That’s my dream, that’s my imaginable life. Time to work on photography, painting, poetry, go bird-watching. Time to pursue outdoor sports such as hiking, surfing, and biking. Maybe a date night with my partner if funds role in.

This stock strategy creates a simple, stress free strategy. Limit the income, limit the growth, raise the floor, create a reasonable ceiling on a career designed to aim for the moon;

I’m not aiming for a moon, I’m aiming for the mountain. A small little space of my own within the market, once that’s repeatable and that I’m excited to experiment with.
