Hey XO, hope you're doing well.

I've been following your work for a while now — both on YouTube and X — and I want to thank you for everything you share. You've helped me shift from randomness to structure in my trading. I’ve spent time studying your content and finally developed a complete strategy that aligns with what you teach, especially around supply/demand and HTF context.

Would really appreciate it if you could take a moment to check this breakdown. I’m trying to get better every week and refine my system — let me know if I'm heading in the right direction or if you'd do anything differently.

🔑 My Strategy – Inspired & Structured Around Your Teachings:

1. Market Context (HTF Bias First)

I always start with EMA 12/25 on the Daily and Weekly.

If the market is in a downtrend, I don’t counter-trade — I only look for short setups.

If it’s range-bound, I define range highs/lows and trade from key edges only.

This filters out random setups and aligns me with the bigger picture.

2. Supply & Demand Zones (My Core Focus)

I identify the origin of a pump (demand) or a drop (supply).

I only take trades from fresh, untested zones — ideally with a sharp move away (indicating unfilled orders).

I look for imbalance/FVG inside these zones — if present, I treat the zone as high probability and expect it to hold stronger.

3. Confirmation Process

Before I enter a position:

I wait for a 4H candle close inside or on the edge of my zone.

I check for:

RSI divergence to signal possible reversal/momentum shift.

Daily stochastic to avoid longs when overbought and shorts when oversold.

If these align at my zone, I prepare for execution.

4. Breakouts & Consolidation Logic

If there’s consolidation inside a demand zone, followed by a breakout above prior resistance, I mark that zone as powerful.

Same with supply — if it breaks prior support, that supply is validated.

On revisit, I look to enter again with confirmation.

5. 3-Shots Entry System

I’ve built a rule to avoid emotional re-entries and handle fakeouts:

If I get stopped on my first entry at a zone (liquidity sweep), I don’t chase.

I wait for price to return to the zone again.

Then I re-enter with a stop above the new invalidation (after the sweep).

I allow 3 total attempts, using smaller size after first stop.

6. Execution Rules

No front-running. I wait for price to come to me.

No mid-range trades.

No forced setups. If zone isn’t clean + confluence isn’t there, I pass.

I stick to my HTF plan — I don’t care about 1-minute volatility or noise.

📈 My Goal

I’m building consistency now through this rule-based, zone-first strategy. I’ve got a full flowchart of this process and journaling everything around it. Just wanted to ask you:

Does this structure look good to you? Would you add or refine anything?

Thanks again for the knowledge and realness you bring to the space, means a lot 🙏

In the two weeks under your mentorship, I managed to complete only four trades, all of which were meticulously planned and executed successfully. Consequently, I have earned at least one R. I am delighted to share the process I developed with you in another comment. If you could kindly provide feedback on how to enhance it, I would be immensely grateful.

Once I tried to trade a token that Binance announced it will be delisted. The volatility was so high that make me lose trades no mater which direction I trade, always hit the stop loss. Thanks for sharing this article.

I've roundtripped high 6 figs this cycle, made a ton from buying BTC at the lows just to blow it not adapting to market volatility and changing conditions. So finally been chopped down to size, literally!

I have learnt a ton afrom this and especially a lot about preserving capital and additional mental tools needed to actually stick to the fucking plan.

Truly appreciate it.

Good Morning and Thank you XO. ... It's the time that confuses me.. Do I set the risk using ATR on the daily but execute on the 4hr or even the 5min for example, or use the ATR on the chart i am trading?... or is the set up on the high time frame (where risk is assessed) but the execution on the lower? .. And then if you use the daily to set up , is the spread to far in a volatile market, for example... lets say on the daily the ATR is 0.015 and the token is trading at 0.15, the ATR is 10%!, on the 4hr is 0.005 which is so tight, wont I just get chopped up in this market?

How do you track ATR? Is there a tradingview indicator you use?
