1.0 General Trading Rules
- Build a psychology for success (The mind of a trader)
- Create and follow your trading rules
- Track and review all trades in detail ( Entry, Exit, Time, ETC.)
- Do not chase a trade, winning traders know when to wait
- Every trade will have an Entry, Stop Loss, and Exit (plan) before you enter
- Every trade will have a pre-defined risk level
- Do not take a trade unless it adheres to the trade plan rules
- Only trade during pre-defined hour(s)
2.0 Risk Management
Risk and money management should be the forefront of any trading plan.
Being a long term, consistent, and professional trader comes down to
managing risk in every trade to preserve capital in the long term.
We are here to play the numbers.
For us to “trade like a casino”
We must have enough capital to execute the large number of trades required
to allow for our edge to play out and make profits.
You can’t play the game with no money! Below is an illustration that shows
why risk management is so important. As the losses of your initial capital
increase the % amount of your remaining capital that you need to gain to
recover that loss increases as well.
Therefore we trade with low % risk and
have cut off amounts to stop the bleeding of daily and weekly losses!!

Chart Setup:
- D1, Find fresh Supply and Demand and overall trend, line it out if makes sense
- H4, Find fresh Supply and Demand Levels
- Determine near Res/Sup in H4-H1
Entry is on the H1, can use M30 but can not enter off 1 candle,
must be 2 or 3 candle patterns, also must be in the 4H Zone.
Trade Setup :
- SL = 5-10 Pips Above or Below zone ( no more than 20 PIPs )
- 5 Pips if shallow touch ( didn’t break through resistance at all)
- 10 Pips if deep touch (wicked through resistance)
- TP = 1:2 RR in Pips based off stop
( Close If see Reversal pattern in LTF ) - Lot = 1% based on stop, calculate position size on baby pips
- Ask “Who’s trade am I taking the other side of?”
Am I with or against the banks.Entries StrategiesMost Powerful levels
