Majority of FF members joined because they wanted to learn, share and compare trading knowledge, experience, skills, systems, strategies etc. Addressing such a question as 'How do you trade?' is a highly effective way to be a valuable member of this trading forum. In one sentence, tell us how you trade. This means any time you post, you tell us one aspect of how you trade. This may be a valuable trading rule you employ, an aspect of your trading plan, strategy etc., a summary statement on a shared video clip etc. Any contributor should adhere to FF code of ethics for members. Please do not use this thread to promote any system, strategy etc. Do not use this thread to attack or insult anybody or to promote yourself. Post only one sentence each time. When you share a video clip or chart, you should accompany it with one sentence. If you have nothing to contribute, you are welcome to view and leave.

Weekly/daily time frame for market condition/direction and potential S/R zones, H4 time frame for feasible/high-quality trade setups and H1/M15 time frame for precision trade entry.

I watch order flow/volume and observe for signs and symptoms of exhaustion in one direction to provide an opportunity to enter a position in the opposite direction.

High risk momentum play during the Lon/NY overlap, preferably short, whenever possible, in the direction of the daily trend.

Order flow context, in terms of ratio and significance of bullish/bearish candlesticks, is one of the things I look for in my multi-time frame analysis.

Similar to Don, trading exhaustion at the edge of order flow on M1 when passive orders dry up.

I skip trade setups that don't give me the opportunity to risk small and win big because they are not reliable or feasible enough.

Rick you made a good point on how you trade and I appreciate it but let's all stick with the thread rules.

{quote} Hi KeenPips I agree with your thoughts on small risk but don’t feel it’s necessary to win big. On the risk, because I backtest every possible setup for the past twelve months on the pairs I trade, I know the exact probability of that trade setup being a winner. If it isn’t historically over a 85% chance of winning, I won’t trade. My thoughts on winning big is “ I will be happy to win 5 pips a trade when opening 10 positions a day” 50 pips a day without fail is a good trader in my books. Actually a bloody good trader. Cheers

I trade intraday volatility using significant levels from the 4h, 30 min and 15 min charts and timing my entries on the 5 min chart
