My Entire Trading Strategy Explained (2026 Full Course)

Core Market View / Trade Direction (Bias)

• Sets directional bias using the short-term technical trend.
• Uses higher short-term timeframes: M5 and M15.

Trend Determination Rule

• Bullish (uptrend): price is respecting lows and breaking highs → no sells; only look for buys.
• The trend is assessed by:
  • Whether price is respecting highs/lows
  • Whether it is breaking those levels

Invalidation / Protected Low (Bullish Thesis)

• Find the last “big break of structure”.
• Identify the lowest point between the prior high and the break.
• That low is the protected / invalidation point.
• As long as the protected low holds, the trader keeps looking for buys.

Trading Range + Liquidity Model

Trading Range Definition

• After establishing bias and invalidation, defines a trading range as the move from high to low (used for the structure/range).

Liquidity Logic (Directional)

• Uptrend: swing lows are liquidity.
• Downtrend: swing highs are liquidity.

Hard Validation Requirement

• Liquidity must break structure to be considered valid.
• If it’s not a structure break, it is not valid liquidity (don’t force trades).

---

Entry Condition (Liquidity Sweep + Reaction)

• Looks for a sweep of higher-timeframe liquidity before entering.
• Liquidity zones are formed from swing lows that caused mini breaks of structure.

Pullback Preference / Risk Note

• Bigger pullbacks (more obvious liquidity) are preferred (often more stops clustered there).
• Smaller one-candle pullbacks can still work, but are lower probability.

Step 3: Zones and Points of Interest (POIs)

Zone Construction

• Draws a zone around the external breaker structure (large structure from the prior high to low).

Entry Must Be Within the Zone

• The entry must occur inside the previous external breaker structure (the “zone”).

POI Selection by Trend

• Uptrend: only demand and bullish fair value gaps (FVGs).
• Downtrend: only supply and bearish FVGs.

POI Freshness / Mitigation Rule

• POIs must be unmitigated / fresh.
• A zone is considered mitigated if ≥ 50% of the zone is touched.
  • They specifically state: count prices as unmitigated if less than 50% of the zone has been touched.

---

Entry Confirmation (Lower Timeframe)

After liquidity sweep + price is in the zone:

• Wait for a lower-timeframe shift in structure back toward the higher-timeframe bias.
• Requires a candle close.

Stop Placement

• Stop loss is placed beyond the lower-timeframe invalidation point.
• Conceptually: price should not make a lower low after the shift.
• That lower low is the stop reference.

---

Targets and R-Multiple Framework

Targeting Approach

• Final take profit is the external range high (or low) depending on direction.
• Targets at least ~1.5R (explicit minimum intent).

If the Setup Isn’t Taken

• If price takes out the external high before entry, the trader skips the trade.
• Avoids buying into strength (“don’t buy high”; no FOMO).

---

Explicit Risk Management Rules (Most Important)

Risk Per Trade

• 0.5% to 1% of account risk per trade:
  • Use 0.5% for low confidence / beginner conditions.
  • Use closer to 1% if more experienced with success.

Maximum Trades Per Day

• Max 3 trades per day.

Daily Trade-Limiter Logic (“A+ Setup” Rule)

• If Trade 1 is a 1R win → stop trading for the day.
• If Trade 1 is a loss or break-even:
  • Only allow Trade 2 if an A+ setup appears.
• If Trade 2 is a win → you can walk away.
• If Trade 2 is break-even → only allow Trade 3 if A+ appears.
• If Trade 2 is a loss → must stop trading (no exceptions).

Behavioral / Discipline Controls

• After each trade, must journal:
  • Take 15 minutes to review and record (win/loss/breakeven).
  • Review via screenshot/notes to prevent revenge trading and overtrading.
