Could You Discuss Your Trading Strategies? Have You Switched Between Strategies or Have You Stuck to One and Improved It Over Time?

My trading strategy is centered around the smart money concept, which is the idea that professional traders and institutional investors have access to more information and resources than retail traders, and therefore tend to make more informed trades. I use a combination of technical and fundamental analysis, including market structure, schedules, news, to identify key levels of support and resistance. I also pay close attention to the actions of these  smart money  players to gain insight into their trades and position myself accordingly.

What Does Your Risk-management Look Like? Give Some Details.

When it comes to managing risk, I take several measures to ensure that I protect my investments. Firstly, I limit my exposure to the news and only consume it to a certain extent, as excessive news consumption can cause unnecessary panic and anxiety. Secondly, I adhere to the company’s consistency rules to maintain a disciplined approach to trading. I use stop-loss orders to minimize my losses in case the market moves against me. I aim to achieve a risk-to-reward ratio of 1:2, and once my trade reaches the breakeven point, I pass my entry to that level. Additionally, I close 80% of my lots when I achieve a risk-to-reward ratio of 1:3. Lastly, I never risk more than 1% of my capital per trade and 1% per day to ensure that I am not over-exposing myself to the market.
