Minervini warns against increasing position size or trading aggressiveness solely because major indexes are rising.
He looks for confirmation from multiple dimensions—diminished volatility, supportive overall market tone, and constructive behavior on the individual stock’s chart—before committing more capital.
The point is to require alignment across market environment, volatility regime, and the specific chart pattern rather than relying on index strength as a single green light.
This lowers the chance of getting caught in short-lived rallies or volatile market conditions that can wipe out gains.

Do not increase FCPO lot size or trade aggression simply because regional indices or CPO benchmarks are strong; require confirmation from volatility metrics (e.
g.
, lower ATR or tightening intraday ranges), alignment with MPOB data or seasonal production patterns, and clear price structure on the FCPO chart.
Also check related signals such as CPO/soybean oil spread tightening and Malaysian market-hour behavior before adding lots, remembering each FCPO contract is 25 MT and position changes multiply exposure in MYR terms.
Bottom Line In Practice
Instead of buying a third FCPO lot because the KLCI is up, wait for a daily close above resistance with ATR contracting and a favorable MPOB monthly stock/supply report—only then increase from 1 to 2 lots (25 MT to 50 MT).
Minervini argues that trades should only be taken when several independent conditions line up: a constructive market tone, a fundamentally or technically strong stock, confirming chart behavior, and a precise entry point.
He warns against forcing trades based on one signal (for example, rising indexes alone) because that increases exposure to false positives; instead the corrective lesson is to require corroboration across market context, stock leadership, and execution rules to reduce reliance on any single indicator.
This alignment-first approach is paired with tight risk control and repeatable execution so that opportunities are selected and managed rather than predicted.

Bursa Translation
For FCPO traders on Bursa Malaysia, adopt an alignment-first approach: enter only when multiple independent signals—price action on the MYR-denominated 25‑MT contract, MPOB production and stock releases, seasonal monsoon/harvest patterns, and CPO/soybean oil spread behavior—converge to support the trade.
Factor market structure and Bursa trading hours to avoid chasing overnight news or retail impulse trades, using alignment to filter false breakouts around festive demand spikes and MPOB data surprises.
Bottom Line In Practice
Only buy when FCPO breaks above a clear resistance on high volume during Bursa hours, MPOB weekly stocks fall, seasonal supply is tightening due to monsoon impacts, and the CPO/soybean oil spread is widening in favor of CPO.
