A trading idea refers to a set of trades that share a common logic or intention applied to the same financial asset. These trades may be opened simultaneously or within a few minutes of each other, as long as they are aligned in the same direction (buy or sell) and are based on the same analysis or strategy by the trader.
Multiple trades will be considered part of the same trading idea if:
• They are opened on the same asset,
• They have the same direction (buy or sell), and
• They have been executed within no more than 45 minutes of each other.
After the 45-minute interval, new trades on the same asset and in the same direction will be considered part of a new trading idea, unless there is a technical justification otherwise.
In other words, a trading idea may consist of one or several open positions on the same instrument, executed with the goal of capitalizing on a specific market opportunity identified by the trader, whether through technical, fundamental, or quantitative analysis.
