Step‑by‑step methodology / framework

Top‑down bias
- Start on the weekly chart to draw major S/R zones (use prior weekly candle highs/lows; ignore current unclosed weekly candle).
- Move to the daily chart to mark gaps and check for candlestick patterns (engulfing, harami).
- Use the 1‑hour chart to confirm market structure and whether movement is “clean” (clear trend) or too choppy to trade.
Narrow to intraday execution levels
- On the 5‑minute chart mark: previous day high/low, pre‑market high/low, and nearby S/R zones identified on higher timeframes.
- Establish directional bias: e.g., if price broke a key resistance in pre‑market and structure is bullish, look only for long entries; avoid counter‑trend trades.
Entry execution on a short timeframe
- Use the 2‑minute chart for precise entries.
- Key entry confluences:
  - Break above a consolidation zone
  - Price trading above the 9 EMA
  - Retest of the broken level
  - Bullish candlestick confirmation (e.g., bullish engulfing)
- Entry approach: enter on the breakout (just above consolidation).
Risk management & exit rules
- Stop placement:
  - Initial stop at consolidation low or the 9 EMA (9 EMA treated as a dynamic stop).
  - Move/day‑trade stops manually as price advances; trail stops to protect gains.
- Profit / exit approach:
  - No fixed profit target; trail the stop using price action and the 9 EMA to capture upside.
  - After a clean breakout, move the stop to the consolidation high to protect gains.
  - Use market orders for stops/exits to avoid being whipsawed by wicks (presenter preference).
- Additional risk notes:
  - Be aware of high‑of‑day / low‑of‑day levels — they can be reversal zones and warrant tightening stops or taking profits.
  - Only trade stocks with “clean” market movement; skip messy/choppy names.

Trade example (Thursday)

Context:
- Overall bullish structure on weekly / daily / 1‑hour.
- Price approx. 226.0005; price broke a resistance in pre‑market.
Confluence observed:
- Bullish engulfing at support
- Break and retest of resistance
- Price moved above the 9 EMA on the 2‑minute chart
Execution:
- Entry: just above the consolidation break on the 2‑minute chart.
- Stop: consolidation low initially; trailed to the 9 EMA; later moved to consolidation high once breakout confirmed.
- Exit: manually exited when price re‑entered consolidation and the 9 EMA was breached — judged as a weak breakout unable to hold above pre‑market high.

Example price shown: ~226.0005 (note: current weekly candle was not used for level drawing in the example).

Explicit recommendations & cautions

Only trade with the established trend (e.g., only take longs when the overall picture is bullish).
Trade stocks that show “clean” market structure; avoid choppy names.
Require multiple confluences before entering (higher‑timeframe levels + candlestick confirmation + EMA position).
Do not use a preset profit target; instead trail stops to maximize gains while protecting unrealized profits.
Use market orders for stops/exits to avoid being stopped by wick action (presenter prefers manual entries/exits).

Performance / metrics

No explicit P&L, win rate, or risk/reward ratios provided.
Presenter emphasizes trailing stops so that even when stopped out you can remain profitable on the trade — focus on preserving gains rather than fixed R:R targets.
