    <tr><td>Financials (intraday)</td><td>VWAP reclaim + ATR↑; stop 1.5×ATR</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Long-duration tech (swing)</td><td>Daily close > VWAP + volume spike; trail at 1.5×ATR</td></tr>

<p>Pro tip: use volatility-adjusted position sizing — shares = (account_risk_per_trade) / (stop_distance_in_$). For options, prefer near-term vertical spreads to limit vega exposure around Fed headlines.</p>
