Trading Strategies & Rules
Detailed rules, entry/exit setups, and risk guidelines for momentum, pullback, swing, intraday, scalping, and price action strategies.
Pullback Trading Strategy
Pullback trading is a strategy where traders enter an established market trend during a temporary price retracement (pause or dip) towards a key support level or moving average, offering a low-risk entry with high reward potential in the direction of the primary trend.
Identify a clear trend (Higher Highs & Higher Lows for Uptrend)
Momentum Trading Strategy
Momentum trading is a strategy aimed at capitalizing on strong price acceleration in a single direction driven by high trading volume, news catalysts, or institutional order flow — riding the wave of price strength.
Look for volume at least 2x higher than the 20-day average volume
Swing Trading Strategy
Swing trading is a medium-term strategy where traders hold positions for 2 to 10 days, aiming to capture larger price "swings" within an established trend or range, using daily and 4-hour chart setups.
Identify the daily chart trend direction first (always trade with the daily bias)
Intraday (Day) Trading Strategy
Intraday trading (day trading) is the practice of opening and closing all positions within the same trading session, avoiding overnight exposure by using technical analysis on 15-minute to 1-hour chart timeframes.
Mark previous day's High, Low, and Close before the session opens
Scalping Trading Strategy
Scalping is an ultra short-term trading strategy that targets very small price moves (1–10 pips in Forex or 0.1–0.3% in stocks) by executing high-frequency trades throughout the trading session, relying on tight spreads and fast execution.
Trade only during peak liquidity sessions (London-NY overlap)
Breakout Trading Strategy
Breakout trading is a strategy that aims to enter a trade when price breaks through a significant support or resistance level with strong volume, anticipating a large directional move as trapped traders are forced to exit their positions.
Identify a well-defined consolidation range that has been tested at least 3 times
Trend Following Strategy
Trend following is a systematic trading strategy that identifies the direction of the prevailing market trend using moving averages or price structure, then holds positions in that direction until clear trend reversal signals appear.
Confirm that 50 EMA is above 200 EMA (Golden Cross = Uptrend)
Price Action Trading Strategy
Price action trading is a methodology that relies entirely on reading raw candlestick patterns and market structure — with no lagging indicators — to identify high-probability entry and exit points based on where buyers and sellers are actively positioned.
Mark all significant Daily and 4H support/resistance levels on the chart
