Momen­tum and rel­a­tive strength

Relative Strength and Why Leaders Lead

Stocks that hold up better than the market during weak weeks are often the first to move when the market turns. Here is how to see it on a chart.

Can­dle­stick reading

A Hammer Means Little Without Support

The same hammer candle can be a useful signal or pure noise. Where it forms matters far more than how perfect it looks.

Risk and posi­tion sizing

Why the Stop Comes Before the Entry

The price that proves your idea wrong should be known before you buy. Posi­tion size, reward-to-risk and the deci­sion to trade at all are built on it.

How the notes fit the library

Think of HUMBLE BULLS as a library with a note­book beside it. The Learn guides are the library: com­plete, ordered and updated only when they have been reviewed. The research desk shows how a dis­ci­plined work­flow is built, and our tools com­par­i­son covers the soft­ware behind it.

The blog is the note­book. Notes are short, dated and prac­ti­cal. A note never repeats a guide; it points back to the guide that explains the idea in full, so you can go as deep as you need and no further.

Reading paths for every stage

Pick the path that matches where you are today. Each one is a sequence of pages written to be read in order.

Path 1: I am new to swing trading

Start with what swing trading is, learn the step-by-step method, then see how risk is capped before any entry.

Path 2: I want to find momentum stocks

Learn what momen­tum means, then build a dis­ci­plined screen that turns a thou­sand tickers into a short, read­able watch­list.

Path 3: I want to read charts well

Move from market struc­ture to indi­ca­tors and can­dle­sticks, so every chart is read the same calm way.

Path 4: I want a stronger process

Review sizing, stops and reward-to-risk, then use a journal and a check­list to keep every trade account­able.

Blog questions

How often are new notes published?

Most days, some­times several in a day. Each note shows the date it was pub­lished, and the newest always appear first.

Can I get the notes by email?

Yes. The weekly email col­lects every note from the week in one place, in date order, so nothing is missed.

Is a note a trade recommendation?

No. Every­thing on HUMBLE BULLS is edu­ca­tion and research for general infor­ma­tion. It is not per­son­alised advice and not a rec­om­men­da­tion to buy or sell any secu­rity.
