Strategy & Rules
The framework behind every trade — setups, risk management, and trading rules.
Core Framework
The decision-making framework behind every setup.
I trade a rules-based discretionary approach built around higher-timeframe structure, clean liquidity levels, and strict risk control. The objective is to take fewer but cleaner setups with a clear invalidation point and enough room for asymmetric reward.
Market Bias
I begin with daily and H4 structure, key levels, and directional context. If the higher timeframe is unclear, I stay out.
Entry Criteria
I want aligned structure, a logical stop placement, and a setup that offers at least 1.5R to 2R without forcing the target.
Risk Management
Risk is capped at 1% per trade. Position size is always calculated from the stop loss, never based on emotion or conviction.
Trade Management
I avoid random intervention after entry. A trade is either managed at predefined levels or left to play out according to plan.
Clear structure, clean invalidation, acceptable spread, and enough room to target a meaningful reward.
Messy ranges, low-quality entries, catalyst risk without edge, or any setup that has to be justified too hard.
No revenge trades, no wider stops after entry, no impulsive sizing, and no trade without a documented reason.
Execution Rules
Simple rules meant to keep execution repeatable.
- Every trade must have entry, stop loss, take profit, and a short written thesis.
- If the setup cannot be explained clearly in one sentence, it is probably not clean enough to take.
- Consistency matters more than prediction. The edge comes from repeatability and disciplined risk.
