# Large Moves

The idea for these strategies comes from chapter 7 of [*How Markets Really Work*](https://moshferatu.dev/moshferatu/how-markets-really-work) (2012) by Larry Connors.

As with most of the strategies from this book, they are meant to illustrate certain characteristics of the market rather than be traded directly.

## Rules

### Large Moves Up

1. When the asset (e.g., SPY) **rises** by 1% or more, enter a long trade.
2. Exit the trade after 5 trading days (~1 week).

### Large Moves Down

1. When the asset (e.g., SPY) **falls** by 1% or more, enter a long trade.
2. Exit the trade after 5 trading days (~1 week).
