Phase 3: Strategy, Risk, and Discipline

1. Support and Resistance Strategy

• Support (The Floor): A price level where a downtrend tends to pause due to buying power. Look for areas where the price has bounced upward multiple times.
• Resistance (The Ceiling): A price level where an uptrend tends to pause due to selling power. Look for areas where the price has dropped after hitting a peak.

2. Executing the 1:2 Risk-to-Reward Ratio

When price reaches a Support or Resistance level, execute your trade using these math-based rules:

• The Setup: If price hits Support and shows signs of a reversal, prepare a Buy order.
• Stop Loss (SL): Place this slightly below the Support level (this defines your “Risk”).
• Take Profit (TP): Measure the distance from your entry to your SL. Set your TP at exactly twice that distance.

3. Money Management Discipline

Success in trading is defined by how you manage your losses, not just your wins.

• The 1% Rule: Never risk more than 1% of your total account balance on a single trade. If your balance is $10,000, your Stop Loss should represent a maximum loss of $100.
• Position Sizing: Use a lot size calculator to ensure your SL distance aligns with your 1% risk.
• Consistency: Once the trade is live, do not move your Stop Loss out of fear or hope. Let the market hit either your SL or your TP.
