About This Section

First Principles Trading covers orb trading basics, in the level of detail a homeowner needs before spending money on it.

Limits

Written guidance necessarily generalizes. Any specific property can present conditions that change the answer, which is why an on-site assessment by somebody qualified always outranks anything written beforehand.

Independence

First Principles Trading has no stake in which firm a reader ends up hiring. It describes how work is done and what it costs, and takes no position on who should do it.

What Gets Written About

Guides concentrate on judgement calls rather than procedure. That means no filler introduction, no restating the question, and no padding a straightforward answer out to hit a length target.

Scope

Rather than covering everything shallowly, this section stays with one trade in one place. A page trying to address every trade in every city ends up saying nothing specific about any of them, and specifics are the only part worth reading.
