TRADING RULE #47: Never chase a breakout after 11:30 AM.
TRADING RULE #52: If you're up 2R by lunch, take half off.
TRADING RULE #89: Red volume bars on green candles = fade the move.
Sound familiar? If you're like most traders, you've got a notebook (or phone) full of "rules" you've collected over the years. Maybe 200+ of them by now.
Here's what Corey Rosenbloom discovered after reviewing thousands of losing trades: The problem isn't having too few rules. It's having too many.
Yesterday, Corey walked me through his breakthrough moment. He'd been tracking his trades for months, frustrated by inconsistent results despite following his extensive rule book religiously.
Then he noticed something odd in his journal...
His best trading days happened when he ignored 90% of his rules and focused on just three core elements: "What we need as a trader is a setup, which is define rules, specifically an entry, a target, and a stop with risk."
That's it. Entry. Target. Stop.
Everything else was noise.
The breakthrough came when he started treating each failed trade not as a reason to abandon his method, but as data. As he puts it: "Using a tight stop methodology, you have to go again, you cannot just abandon the trade."
This shift in psychology - from rule collector to process executor - changed everything.
Instead of scanning for 47 different setups with 200 rules to remember, Corey now focuses on three high-conviction opportunities per week. Each one built on the same foundation: clear entry, defined target, calculated risk.
Simple? Yes. Easy? Absolutely not.
The discipline required to ignore market noise and stick to your process is exactly what separates consistent traders from the frustrated majority.
This is the methodology behind our 3 Trades A Week Inner Circle. Not more setups, more rules, or more complexity. Just three carefully selected opportunities each week, backed by the combined analysis of 8 professional traders including Corey.
Each trade comes with exactly what Corey outlined: specific entry, clear target, defined stop. Plus the real-time commentary that helps you understand the psychology behind each decision.
Whether you trade with $5,000 or $500,000, the process remains the same. Quality over quantity. Process over profits.
