Hey team,
Thought I'd take some time out today to post a few non negotiable rules that I follow when I'm trading. Hopefully this gives you a bit of an insight into the process
🧠 Market Structure First
- If I can’t clearly label a wave structure → I don’t trade it
- I only trade when price aligns with a higher-timeframe bias
- I mainly use the daily + 4 hour chart to enter and exit my trades
⏳ Patience Over Activity
- No trading in the middle of a correction
- I wait for levels + confirmation, not “feelings”
- Missing a trade is better than forcing one
📐 Risk Before Reward
- Every trade must have a defined invalidation level
- If R:R isn’t at least 2:1, I pass
- Position size is fixed — no emotional resizing (If you're trading with a Prop Firm - no more than 1% per trade)
🛑 What I Never Do
- Chase breakouts without structure
- Add to losers
- Trade without a Stop Loss
✅ Final Rule
Capital preservation comes first. Opportunities repeat — capital doesn’t.
This is how I approach Gold, Indices, Forex & ETFs — calmly, structured, and without noise.
