Fundamental company valuation looks at the real worth of a firm. You compare price to earnings cash flow and asset value. In a 15 minute window you can scan key numbers and decide if a commodity linked stock is cheap or overpriced. When the market is down the undervalued name may hold more resilience. The principle is simple. Buy only when the math shows a margin cushion. (2/5)

Risk Management Notes: Keep position size small enough that a 20% move does not wipe you out. Watch the broker margin monitor every few hours. If the price hits the stop loss close the trade and reassess. Your very aggressive risk profile means you can tolerate larger swings but you must protect the edge.

Concluding Thought: Valuation gives you a solid reason to stay in a trade even when the bear pulls the rug (4/5)
