Top 10 Intraday Trades from 2024

Starting the year by studying the best

A new year sparks big dreams, bold goals, and the pursuit of transformation—but real growth often begins with a pause to look back.

One of the most powerful exercises in this reflection process is to study your biggest winning trades from the previous year. Dissecting these trades enables you to highlight precisely what you did right and wrong from a process perspective so that you can use this information for goal setting and future trading. It is a learning tool for getting better.

In this way, you are leveraging your strengths, the finest playbooks, and internalising your best self.

The positive momentum generated is also a tool to counter self-doubt. I have been transparent that I found conditions challenging at the end of 2024 as highlighted here. A break and reset help but I can’t ignore the mistakes and lessons. It is hard to not question one’s ability and even edge. This can be a major cap on performance.

Alex Auerbach¹’s excellent tweet offered solutions for how to challenge this uncertainty:

• Focus on preparation and what you have already done

• Challenge negative self-talk with evidence

• Build a success bank of “past wins”.

Studying your best trades does exactly this.

Here are some of the best intraday setups I traded in 2024. I want to review how I thought about them, the process for trading, and what I can do better going forward. In turn, ask yourself “What are my strongest plays and where can I be better?”
