Lesson notes
Context first
Start from the higher timeframe: is the market trending or ranging, and where are the main levels? A good candle in the wrong place is still a bad trade.
A checklist before every trade
- Direction: trend and structure on H4 or H1.
- Location: price at a marked level or zone.
- Trigger: a rejection or momentum candle that has closed.
- Risk: stop loss beyond structure, lot size from the stop.
- Reward: room to the next level, at least 1:1.5–1:2.
- News: nothing big in the next minutes.
After the entry
Do not move the stop loss further away. Follow your plan for partial profits and break-even, and write the trade in your journal.
Khulasa (Roman Urdu / Hindi)
