📈 My Trading Rules (Simple, Clear, Non-Negotiable)
If you want consistency, you need rules.
Here are mine—clean, structured, and built to protect capital while growing fast.
---
🧠 1. Core Strategy (ICC Model)
I only trade using this structure:
- Indication = First sign price is changing direction
- Correction = Pullback after the move (better entry zone)
- Continuation = The confirmation move where I enter
👉 No structure = no trade.
---
🎯 2. Direction First (Bias)
- I decide direction using higher timeframes (1s, 1T, 5s)
- I ONLY trade in that direction
- If direction is unclear → I do nothing
👉 No guessing. No countertrend trades.
---
🔗 3. Correlation (Confirmation Layer)
- I check if my asset is moving with its benchmark
- Example: Gold vs Dollar / QQQ vs tech stocks
- 0.90+ correlation = strong confirmation
- 0.71 - 0.89 = wait 60 seconds to view trend
- Below 0.70 = exit or avoid
👉 If the market isn’t aligned, I’m out.
Workday over.
---
🥇 4. Gold Trading Rules
- Leverage mindset: 20:1
- Max risk: 0.75% per trade
- Only buy if price is 5% below recent high
- Wait for stabilization before entry
- If price drops 5% against me → exit
---
🥈 5. Silver Trading Rules
- Leverage mindset: 50:1
- Max risk: 0.50% per trade
- Same structure as gold
- Faster moves = tighter discipline
---
📊 6. Stocks / ETFs (Build Phase)
- Used only to grow small accounts → futures
- Max risk: 1% per trade
- One position at a time
- Focus: high-volume movers (not random stocks)
---
⚠️ 7. Risk Management (Survival Rules)
- Max 1 trade open at a time
- Max 2 trades per day
- Max daily loss: 2R
- Max weekly loss: 5R
What is R?
👉 “R” = your risk per trade
Example: If you risk $1, then 1R = $1
---
💰 8. Profit Strategy
- Take partial profit at 2R
- Let the rest run
- Never let a winning trade turn red
---
🛑 9. Stop Loss Rules
- Stop is set BEFORE entry
- Never move stop further away
- No averaging down
👉 If I’m wrong, I’m out. Simple.
---
⚡ 10. Execution (Precision Layer)
- Higher timeframe = direction
- Lower timeframe (1s / ticks) = entry timing
- I enter on confirmation, NOT emotion
---
🚫 11. No Trade Conditions
I do NOT trade if:
- Direction is unclear
- Setup is incomplete
- Correlation is weak
- Market is choppy
- News is about to drop
- I’m emotional
👉 No setup = no trade.
---
🧠 12. Psychology Rules
- No revenge trading
- No FOMO (fear of missing out)
- No overtrading
- No increasing size emotionally
👉 Discipline > everything.
---
🚀 13. Account Growth Rules
- Focus = compounding small wins
- One position at a time
- No over-diversification
- Don’t touch futures until capital goal is hit
---
📓 14. Trade Journal (Mandatory)
Every trade gets logged:
- Why I entered
- Where I entered
- Stop & target
- Result (win/loss)
- What I did right/wrong
---
🔁 15. End of Day Review
- How many trades?
- Did I follow rules?
- What did I mess up?
- What gets fixed tomorrow?
---
🧾 Final Rule (Most Important)
- Protect capital first
- Follow structure
- Let the market confirm
- No emotions
👉 If the setup isn’t perfect, I don’t trade.
---
If you follow this strictly, you don’t need luck.
You need discipline.
