Trading Strategy
The entire edge, on one page
No secret sauce, no locked course. The framework is simple to read and hard to execute — the edge is in the discipline, not the diagram.
Framework
Four pillars, in order
1 · Higher-timeframe bias
Weekly and daily structure decide direction before any trade is considered. Where is price drawn to — the liquidity above, or below? No bias, no trade.
2 · Session-based setups
Two setups only: the London breakout-retest and the post-sweep reclaim. Both require a liquidity event first — a raid of an obvious level — then confirmation.
3 · Fixed-fractional risk
0.75% base risk per trade, cut to 0.5% after two losses, never above 1%. Two losses in a day ends the session. The math of survival is non-negotiable.
4 · Mechanical management
Stop to breakeven at +1R. Scale half at +2R, runner to the target level. Rules written before entry — never improvised mid-trade.
Non-negotiables
The rules that protect the edge
Strategy tells you when to act. These rules stop you from acting when you shouldn't — they matter more.
No trades during tier-1 news releases — ever.
No trade after 11:00 London unless a NY setup forms at a marked level.
Maximum two positions open, never correlated.
Every trade journaled the same day — screenshot, reasoning, grade.
Red week? Size halves the following week until a green week resets it.
The daily loss limit is two trades. The weekly limit is -4R. Hit either, walk away.
