How to use these guides
These playbooks are meant to be applied, not just read. Use them as checklists during chart review and as reference when building your journal or trading rules.
- • Read the guide once without charts, then again with charts.
- • Take notes on the parts you fail to execute in live or demo trading.
- • Turn the key steps into a one-page checklist.
Each guide is updated as the platform evolves. If a section feels too advanced, drop back to the beginner lessons and build the base first.
- • Focus on structure and risk before signals.
- • Do not combine new concepts in the same week.
- • Aim for repeatable execution, not perfect trades.

Common mistakes

- • Ignoring risk rules to chase a trade idea.
Guide framework: from concept to execution
Each guide is written as a mini playbook. The idea is to move from theory to a single, testable action. If you finish a guide and do not know what to test next, return to the checklist section and pick one step only.
Step 1 - Map
Identify structure on H1 or H4 first. Mark the zones, then describe the bias in one sentence. If the bias is unclear, do not drop to lower timeframes.
Step 2 - Filter
Apply risk and session filters. If liquidity is low or spreads are wide, the setup is not tradable even if it looks perfect.
Step 3 - Execute
Define entry, stop, and target before you click. If you cannot place a stop, you do not have a trade.
Step 4 - Review
Grade the trade by process: did you follow the plan, take the right session, and respect your size rules?
Mini glossary
Bias: The directional expectation based on higher-timeframe structure.
Liquidity: Areas where many stops or orders are clustered.
Regime: The current market condition (trend, range, high volatility).
Entry trigger: The rule that turns a level into a trade.
Invalidation: The price point that proves the idea wrong.
R multiple: The reward relative to risk (e.g., 1.5R).
