Understand what you're doing

Short lessons and a glossary. If you can explain it, you can trade it.

What is momentum trading?

Momentum trading buys assets that are already going up and sells them when the move fades. It doesn't try to pick bottoms. It works best in trending markets and gets chopped up when prices go sideways.

How to read a signal card

Each card gives you: a plain-English headline, a suggested action (Watch / Consider buy / Trim / Avoid), a confidence label, and the WHY behind it. Confidence is not certainty — even 'High' signals can fail.

Position sizing is your seatbelt

No single trade should be able to take out your account. A common rule: never risk more than 1–2% of equity on a single idea. PumpPilot's risk controls enforce a max position % for you.

Why we use paper trading

You learn to click the right buttons, stomach the swings, and see whether your strategy actually works — without a single dollar of risk. When live execution eventually unlocks, you'll be ready.
