Karen's Investment Strategy

I trade price, time and seasonal, not indicators.

Pick 10 Futures, Stocks, ETF, Crypto

I do not use technical tools such as: Fibonacci Elliott Wave Butterfly’s or Moving Averages

I do not look back at historical price action except for seasonal patterns.

The goal is NOW, not what happened last month or last year.

Trade early from 8am to 11am EST.

May set up trades the evening before.

Every trade decision is based on price location with the lines. 

Chart Setup (Foundation)

Start with a clean chart: No indicators No overlays No clutter

Time-Based Structure Lines (Color-Coded)

Draw horizontal reference lines starting at the beginning of the year: Draw these lines horizontally:

Year start — Dark Blue

Quarter start — Brown/Dk Red

Month start — Green

Week start — Pink

These lines define opening price for each of the ranges. Will be used as support/resistance.

Weekly Anchor Levels

Add two horizontal lines: Monday High — Yellow Monday Low — Yellow

These levels establish the weekly opening price and an estimated range.

Price interaction with Monday’s range helps frame weekly bias.

Seasonal Context

Add a seasonal box for the specific trading day: Seasonal High Seasonal Low Green or Red depending on the seasonal trend

The seasonal box provides price range based on 5 year or more look back.

Price Evaluation Process

Evaluate current price in relation to: Year, quarter, month, and week start lines Monday high and low (yellow) Seasonal high/low box

Focus on Where is price compared to all the lines.

Decision Framework

Choose one action only: Buy Sell Do Nothing

“Do nothing” is a deliberate, disciplined decision.

Risk Discipline

No emotion, no news, no stories: Choppy Indecisive

Summary Principle

Time defines structure

Seasonality defines context

Price determines action
