Core Trend Following Methodology
Teo specializes in systematic trend following, a methodology focused on capturing market momentum while managing risk.

His 2026 strategies emphasize several core principles:
"Buy High, Sell Higher": Unlike value investors, Teo advocates entering markets showing strength, regardless of whether they appear "overbought".
Trailing Stop Loss: To maximize gains, he uses trailing stops (such as Moving Averages or Donchian Channels) to stay in a trade as long as the trend persists.
Market Diversification: He recommends trading across approximately 60 markets, including agriculture, commodities, and indices, to increase the probability of catching a major trend.
Small Losses: A key tenet is cutting losing trades quickly to preserve capital for future trends.

Popular Trading Systems & Tools
Teo often shares backtested, rule-based systems to provide traders with a statistical "edge".
200-Day Breakout System: A systematic approach focused on daily timeframes, using a 200-period Donchian Channel to trigger long entries when the price closes above the 200-day high.
Risk Management: He consistently advises risking no more than 1% of capital per trade and maintaining a cash reserve for at least one year of living expenses before trading full-time.
Educational Resources: He offers various free and premium materials, including his books Price Action Trading Secrets and Trading Systems That Work.
