- Basics of risk management using stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP).
2. Risk Management Rules
- Never risk more than 5% of your account on a single trade.
- For small accounts (~$100), risk should be even smaller (e.g., max $5 loss).
- Adjust lot size based on stop loss pips to control risk effectively.
- Use stop loss and trailing stops, especially around volatile events.
- Avoid over-leveraging; leverage examples range from 1:400 down to 1:1.
- Manage risk primarily by controlling trade quantity, not leverage.
3. Trading Psychology
- Avoid overtrading and revenge trading after losses.
- Manage emotions; trade only during your optimal time (avoid night trades).
- Maintain realistic expectations; avoid daydreaming about unrealistic gains.
- Start trading as a part-time activity; do not quit jobs or studies prematurely.
- Accept losses and missed trades calmly; avoid dissatisfaction.
4. Event Trading & Macroeconomic Context
- Key economic events include PPI, CPI, Interest Rates, Employment data, Fed announcements.
- Use economic calendars (e.g., Forex Factory) to filter high-impact USD, EUR, GBP, JPY events.
- Avoid trading during high-impact events due to increased volatility.
- If holding trades through events, tighten stop losses or move stops to break-even.
- Recognize event candles on charts—large spikes or candles around event times.
5. Technical Trading Setup: Fair Value Gap Strategy
- Identify a “Fair Value Gap” (FVG) — a price gap between candles.
- Use 5, 15, or 50-minute timeframes to spot these gaps.
- Trade when price returns to fill the FVG, using confirmation candles (e.g., a red candle for sell signals).
- Place stop loss slightly beyond the gap wick.
- Target a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:1.5 to 1:2.
- Examples demonstrated on BTC/USD, Gold, Crude Oil, USD/CHF, GBP/USD.
- Understand that not all gaps will be filled; some trades will fail.
