The Power of Systematic Trading:

Why I didn't care about NVIDIA's Earnings

The Earnings Hype: A Source of Anxiety for Discretionary Traders

Yesterday, as NVDA 0.00%↑ reported its latest earnings, I think everyone and their mother were watching. I saw Twitter spaces with 50k people debating what was going to happen. Anxiety filled the air as investors wondered how the market would react.

As a trader and someone who owns NVDA 0.00%↑ , I could not care less about what they reported or what the CEO said. Why? Because I'm a systematic trader.

The Emotional Toll of Discretionary Trading

When trading with discretion, every news report, earnings release, and market fluctuation feels like a high-stakes gamble. The pressure to react quickly and correctly can be overwhelming, often leading to stress-fueled decisions that may hurt long-term performance.

What kind of life is that?

The Simplicity and Calm of Systematic Trading

In contrast, my approach is systematic; instead of reacting to every news event on every stock on the planet, I carefully design and test algorithms. NVIDIA is not just one of my holdings I am in, simply because a system told me to do, but it’s only one of the systems I trade, meaning I don’t need to stress over any single company’s performance. My decisions are based on predefined rules, removing the emotional component that often derails discretionary traders.

Diversification Through Multiple Trading Styles

I also use multiple trading algorithms, each tailored to different market conditions—whether it’s momentum, mean reversion, or trend-following. This diversification ensures that no single stock or strategy carries too much weight in my portfolio. As a result, NVIDIA’s earnings, or any similar event, is just a small part of a much larger picture.

The Takeaway: Peace of Mind Through Systematic Trading

In a market where headlines can create turmoil, systematic trading offers a different want to look at the market. By relying on well-crafted algorithms and a diversified approach, I can stay focused on the long game, confident in my system’s ability to manage risk and seize opportunities—no matter what the news says.

Every trade is simply part of a larger set of systems, which always keeps me focused on the next 1000 trades and never looking back at what just happened.
