My Journey

With over 2 years of dedicated experience in the financial markets, I have honed a trading methodology rooted in Smart Money Concepts (SMC). My journey began with a curiosity for market mechanics, which evolved into a disciplined profession.

I specialize in identifying institutional order flow, liquidity sweeps, and market structure shifts to execute high-probability trades. My approach is purely technical, stripping away the noise to focus on what price action is truly communicating.

Risk Management

The key to longevity in trading

01

Daily Limits

Strict adherence to a maximum daily loss limit to preserve capital for the next opportunity.

  • Max Daily Loss: 2%
  • Stop trading after 2 losses

Position Sizing

Consistent risk per trade ensures that no single trade can significantly damage the account.

  • Risk Per Trade: 1%
  • Dynamic lot sizing
03

Stop Loss

Every trade must have a hard stop loss in place at the moment of entry. No mental stops.

  • Based on market structure
  • Never widen a stop loss
04

News Events

Avoid trading during high-impact news releases to protect against slippage and volatility.

  • Check Economic Calendar
  • Flat 10 mins before/after

Journaling

Documenting every trade is crucial for reviewing performance and improving psychology.

  • Screenshot entries/exits
  • Note emotions & mistakes
