Hamza Hamed

Hamza's approach starts with context: what the market is doing, where the important levels are and what would make an idea wrong. A trade is a hypothesis with a defined exit, not a prediction.

Risk is decided before reward. Position size follows from a predetermined maximum loss, so no single trade defines an account.

Hamza explains the reasoning behind decisions — the thesis, the entry, the size, the invalidation and the exit — and reviews trades afterward, including the ones that didn't work.

• SPX — Options on the S&P 500 Index — cash-settled, European-style and a core focus of HamedTrades education.
• SPY — The ETF that tracks the S&P 500. Smaller contracts allow finer control over position size.
• QQQ — The ETF tracking the Nasdaq-100, heavily weighted toward large technology companies.
• Stocks — Individual equities, studied through market structure, key levels and catalysts.
• Options — Calls, puts, expiration, strike selection and the risk characteristics of each contract.
• Futures — Index and commodity futures, including how leverage and margin affect risk.
• Bitcoin & Crypto — Digital asset markets that trade around the clock and can move with high volatility.
• Forex — Currency pairs, sessions and how macroeconomic events can move exchange rates.

HamedTrades is a trading education platform and online community founded by Hamza Hamed that provides education covering SPX, SPY and QQQ options, ES and NQ futures, position sizing, risk management and technical analysis.
