How I Use the Trade Helper to Build My Model

Most tools hand you one rigid model and tell you to live with it. The Trade Helper does the opposite — you build the models. Blend strategies or keep them pure, run one portfolio or several, lean into the industries you believe in — then let it do the math to get you there. Here's how I run it.

1
Blend the strategies — or keep them pure.

Mix all six into one book if you want a combined model — say 50% Momentum Edge, 30% Blue Chip Fortress, 20% Value Discovery. Or don't blend at all: run simple Momentum on its own and Blue Chip on its own, each clean. Your call, not the tool's.

2
Run as many portfolios as you need.

You're not limited to one. Spin up a separate portfolio per strategy so they never get muddied — or one per brokerage. Webull running Momentum, Robinhood running Blue Chip, a manual account for the rest. Each tracks and rebalances on its own.

3
Skew toward what you believe in.

Convicted on tech? Cooling on energy? Use the sector tilts — dial a sector up to overweight it or down to underweight it, neutral if you've got no view. The model re-sizes around your tilts so your edge gets expressed, without you hand-picking every name.

4
Tell it what you hold.

Connect your brokerage or enter your holdings by hand. It needs to know what you actually own to show you the gap to your target. Read-only — it never touches your money. You place every trade yourself.

5
Work the sells first.

When your model drops a name, sell it — those proceeds are the cash that funds your new buys. The Helper orders the list so you don't run dry halfway down it.

6
Buy to the targets.

It hands you exact share counts — or dollar amounts on a fractional broker — for everything underweight. You execute; it tracks what's done. No spreadsheet, no guessing.

That's the part nobody else gives you: your blend or your pure plays, one portfolio or many, your industry skew — your models. The Helper just does the math so all you do is place the trades.
