Golden rules
- Draw what you see, not what you hope to see.
- Use the bigger timeframe for your main lines and zones.
- Plan the stop first with the position tool, then the target.
- Always use a stop loss and risk 1% or less per trade.
🔔 Tip: click a line, then the bell on its toolbar, to be told when price reaches it.
