Trading Recap Focus Video
In this livestream segment, Adrian Manz breaks down a real-time trade in COIN and uses it to explore the promise and pitfalls of bracket orders and automated entries and exits. Learn how to size your stops and targets based on the stock’s volatility, use anchored VWAP as a profit target, and decide when to set-it-and-forget-it versus managing the exit manually. This session also covers institutional activity signals, chart-trading flexibility, and the trade-offs between automation and discretion—especially when working with fast-moving, high-priced names like COIN.
