A Simple Trading Strategy, step by step.
1. Identify the trend (4H)
Uptrend = higher highs and higher lows, only look to buy. Downtrend = lower highs and lower lows, only look to sell.
2. Mark key levels (4H)
Support and resistance, previous highs and lows, liquidity zones. This is where price reacts. Know your levels before looking for an entry.
3. Move to the lower timeframe
Wait for price to reach one of your key levels. Don't rush the entry. Let price come to your area instead of chasing it.
4. Wait for confirmation (CHoCH / BOS)
CHoCH = Change of Character. BOS = Break of Structure. These signal that market structure is changing or continuing in the direction you want to trade.
5. Find your entry (Order Block / FVG)
After confirmation, mark the order block or fair value gap. Wait for price to pull back into that zone before entering.
6. Set stop loss and take profit
Stop below structure for a long, above structure for a short. Target the next liquidity area, previous high, or previous low. Know where you're wrong before you enter.
7. Manage your risk
Risk 1–2% per trade. Don't overtrade. Be patient. Don't force setups that aren't there.
