🔹 How I Think About Trading
My core trading principle is simple: capital preservation first, then profit-seeking.
While catching an entire move from start to finish can be exciting, it usually comes with greater risk. Rather than entering once and holding the full position, I prefer to scale into the move in phases. I take an initial entry with a tight stop, and once the trade moves in my favor, I take partial profits — typically reducing 70% of the position (as I’ll explain in the next section). If the market then breaks through the next key level, I re-enter using the same approach: tight stop, defined risk, and partial profits as the move extends. I repeat this process as the trend develops.
Instead of trying to hold from bottom to top in a single position, I reduce risk at each stage and use fresh entries to stay aligned with market momentum. The final portion of each trade — what I call the “runner” — is left to ride further price movement. This method keeps me engaged in the trend while tightly managing risk on every position.
To me, trading is a game of probabilities. We use structure and tools to filter out noise and increase our win rate. That’s why I believe in maintaining a consistent risk-reward ratio — it should never be changed emotionally or impulsively
🔹 How I Enter a Trade
As a scalper trading XAUUSD:
1. I identify the trend using the 30-minute and 15-minute charts
2. I confirm setups on the 5-minute chart
3. I enter a trade with precision on the 1-minute chart
4. I align all entries with the key levels I share daily
My stop losses are always tight — typically within a $1 to $3 range.
🔹 How I Manage a Trade
For example, if 3350 is a key level, I’ll wait for price to approach it closely so I can enter with a tight stop — say, at 3349.
Once in the trade, my conservative management approach is:
1. Take 70% profit after price moves $1 in my favor(e.g., if I buy around 3350 with a 3349 stop loss, and price reaches 3351, I’ll close 70% of the position)
2. Let the remaining 30% run to capture additional upside
3. Optional: Move the stop loss to breakeven, depending on your risk tolerance
3. Trim at intraday pivot levels or structure zones
This method is especially effective for new traders — it locks in early gains while keeping part of the position open for larger moves, all without increasing risk.
