The Methodology
Three pillars, one gate, a grade.
Every setup walks the same path. Most don't make it through — and that's the point.
01
Weekly · Daily · H4
Read the trend
Higher-timeframe structure decides direction. HH+HL is bull, LH+LL is bear. At least two of three HTFs must agree before a pair is even a candidate.
02
H1 only
Mark the area of interest
A single H1 zone with three or more body touches becomes the AOI. Round numbers nearby strengthen it. This is the only timeframe that defines an AOI.
03
H1 + M15
Wait for the match
The critical gate: H1 and M15 must both be colored and point the same way. Mismatch means no trade — you follow the market's hand, you don't predict it.

Grade & size
Only B+ (80%+) and above are actionable. Risk 0.5% per trade, minimum 1:3 reward, one position at a time, and a 60-minute blackout around red-folder news.
