I don't have one mechanical strategy. My trades can be done quickly or take days or weeks.. it all depends on price movement and the potential price movement I think is possible. My first rule is I ONLY trade a stock that I would be happy to own at the price I bought it at. That way, I can be flexible. My most profitable trades tend to be ones that initially start out negative.. then I DCA slowly on the way down. I tend to trade AI stocks because of their volatility, which causes frequent 'price breaks'. They are the major, very profitable ones like NVDA, GOOG, DELL, WDC, SNDK, etc.. I stay away from stocks that are still in the 'should be profitable in the future' types. I also have a stable of monthly and quarterly dividend stocks like QQQI, XQQI, MO, SPYI,etc.. that I can pull out a dividend from if none of my trading stocks are showing me a good entry point. Sometimes, the best trade is doing nothing. This crazy market will always make a pullback from time to time and waiting for that is the better option sometimes. Lastly, be happy to take a good profit even if the stock went higher after you sold.. I aim for singles instead of home runs. Trying for home runs have been the times I've struck out. Striking out no good. Lol. I do not get into the 'should have held longer, I'd have made XXXXX more'. I walk away with my nice single with a smile and then start looking for my next trade. Now, if that last single that turned out could have been a lot more, then that taught me something about potential for trading that stock next time it gives me another price break. It's all about finding stable trading ranges in the stocks that I am ok with owning. I also never trade based on an upcoming ER. I TEND to close out a position before the report and then see if I like the report, but the price falls back anyway.
