Core Methodology: “Fixed Entry Model” (Systematic, Rule-Based)

Principle 1 — Confluence-Based Entry Points

The model enters trades only when at least 2 technical and 1 fundamental confluence signals align.

Technical Confluences

  1. Fibonacci Retracement Levels (TradingView)
    • Uses specifically 0.618 and 0.786
    • Applied for both entries and exits
  2. Fixed Range Volume Profile
    • Uses three reference lines:
      • Value Area Low (undervalued by volume)
      • Point of Control (largest order accumulation)
      • Value Area High (overvalued by volume)
  3. Open/Opening Price Reaction
    • Uses “Open” plus indicator SBTNC
    • Opening references mentioned include:
      • Euro FX Future opening reference tied to 2026 (“annual opening price”)
      • Weekly, daily, and monthly opening price levels on lower timeframes
  4. Market Structure
    • Looks for trend context / structural breaks (e.g., “structural break upwards”)

Fundamental Confluence (Inputs Supporting the Trade)

  • COT / CFTC positioning (via an indicator referenced as “Como Trader”)
    • Two lines:
      • Commercial / “blue”
      • Retail / small investors / “red”
    • Direction preference (as stated):
      • Prefer trade direction when commercial (blue) and retail (red) diverge
      • Example described: commercial bullish while retail bearish
  • Seasonality (analytics-fx.com)
    • Requires (as stated):
      • Minimum win-rate / chance of winning ≥ 65%
      • Sharpe ratio ≥ 1 for longs; ≥ -1 for shorts (as stated in subtitles)
      • Minimum chance for shorts described as 40% (as stated)
  • Macroeconomic analysis
    • Claims macro is automated via machine learning models

Principle 2 — Risk Management Through Mathematics

  • Position sizing is not guessed; uses the Kelly Criterion (adapted).
  • Per-trade risk:
    • approximately 0.5% to 1.5% of account balance
  • Target:
    • risk-reward ratio ≥ 1.2
  • Additional controls:
    • Tracks exposed correlations
    • Uses logs for drawdown applications
    • Calculates risk of ruin
    • Claims survivability modeling for 10,000 trades
  • Emotional control mechanism:
    • Edge calculation reduces emotion by making outcomes known for the next 10–30 trades (as described)

Principle 3 — Systematic Execution; No Predictions

  • Trading framed like GPS: follow signals, don’t “predict.”
  • Uses a checklist of conditions:
    • If any condition fails, no trade.
  • Example checklist conditions (as stated):
    1. Price reaches objective support/resistance (reproducible levels; avoid “strange lines”)
    2. At that level/zone, a confirming signal exists (e.g., structural shift or breakout)
    3. Draw Fibonacci retracement (buy “cheap,” sell “more expensive”)
    4. Confirm with volume zones between 0.618 and 0.786 and/or opening price reactions
  • External confirmation:
    • Macro / COT / seasonality to support the longer-term thesis

Timeframes / Trading Style Recommendation

  • Recommends swing trading over scalping.
  • Analogy:
    • Scalping = “taxi” / “Skype”
    • Swing trading = “long-distance driving” / “long-distance trucker”
  • Claim:
    • Scalping is “almost scientifically impossible” to remain profitable long-term (as stated).
  • Higher-timeframe bias:
    • Uses daily or weekly charts
  • Execution timeframes:
    • Entries executed on 4-hour or 15-minute charts

Example Trade (2026, EUR-Focused)

  • Describes a 2026 trade consistent with the checklist.
  • Elements mentioned:
    • Objective support selected on the chart
    • Upward pressure with “2 or 3” break structures (trend confirmation)
    • Fibonacci retracement drawn after a move
    • Monthly opening price used as a key reaction zone
    • Point of Control used for protection
    • Value Area Low as another reference
    • Entry occurs when price revisits:
      • Monthly Opening
      • 0.618 level
  • Stop/target (subtitle clarity issues):
    • Stop-loss: described as “below the one point” (exact value unclear)
    • Take profit: “just under -1” (likely intended as a ratio/level, but subtitles are unclear)
  • Claims the model aligns with his “track record… for 2026.”

Macro/COT “Traffic Light” Concept

  • Inputs combined into a 3-way traffic light:
    • Macro green → euro rises
    • COT green → euro rises
    • Seasonality patterns → euro rises
  • If all are green: “bingo” (stronger conviction)
  • States COT cannot be used in isolation; macro confirmation is preferred.
