Strategies

One strategy or whole market analysis? Focus on a single trading setup with clear rules. Only take trades when that specific pattern appears. This gives you: consistency, easier testing, better discipline — because you always know exactly what you are looking for.

Making a whole market analysis will lead to analysis paralysis and you will end up confused where to start. One strategy is the solution.

Which strategy? This is the hard question — you will be using it for a long time, so you want to make sure it's the right one, even during losing periods.

• Always check if a strategy is backtested — so you trade on actual data, not luck
• Find successful traders and use their strategy. In ~2 months you will see if it really works
• Align your available time to trade with your strategy. If you barely have time to look at your phone — start swing trading (higher time frames)

One Hour Sweep — a day trading strategy. The best time frame is the 1H chart.

1

Identify a CRT candle on the 1H chart

Each step is necessary — missing or neglecting a step leads to executing a completely different strategy.

2

Confirm candle body conditions

The previous 1H candle should be taken out with a wick. Both candles should have larger bodies than their wicks (not a doji). Enter on the next hour open.

3

Enter and manage the trade

Supply and Demand — mostly for the 4H and Daily time frames. Can be used on 1H but not recommended.

1

Find a fresh order block that has not been touched

Take a trade on the first tap of the zone. The second tap is not a good setup because the zone is no longer "fresh."

2

Place a limit order at the zone

No need to wait for candle formations. Place a limit order at the top (or bottom for sells) of the zone. Target 1:2 R:R. Doji candles with FVG after them make the zone even stronger.
