Short-Term Extraction
Short-term trading is a fast, execution-driven trading strategy.
Instead of holding through narrative expansion, this approach focuses on capturing attention early and exiting quickly.
You are trading momentum, speed, and timing.
This strategy rewards decisiveness and discipline. It punishes hesitation and emotional attachment.
When this strategy works best
Short-term trading performs best when:
attention spikes quickly
volume enters rapidly
narratives rotate fast
market conditions are active
It struggles when:
markets are slow
attention is scattered
follow-through is weak
liquidity dries up
This strategy depends heavily on timing.
What this strategy is not
Short-term trading is not:
long-term holding
narrative conviction
passive trading
emotional gambling
Trades are entered with a clear intention to exit quickly.
Holding without a plan turns extraction into hope.
Who this strategy is for
This strategy suits traders who:
are comfortable making fast decisions
can execute without hesitation
accept frequent wins and losses
manage risk tightly
maintain emotional control under pressure
It is best approached after experience is built with slower strategies.
