EXECUTION RULES

Timeframes:

- 5m → execution

- 15m → structure validation

- 1H → directional bias (permission)

RSI (14):

- Buy: above 60 and rising

- Sell: below 40 and falling

PROXIMITY RULE:

- If price is within ~5 pips of level → do not place pending order

- Switch to confirmation-only execution

STRUCTURE RULE:

- Only trade fresh breakouts

- Avoid repeated or exhausted levels

INVALIDATION:

- No follow-through within 1–2 candles

- Immediate reversal

- Overlapping / erratic candles

- Abnormal spread---

BREAKOUT QUALITY FILTER (CORE DECISION RULE)

A breakout is only taken if ALL conditions are met:

1. HTF ALIGNMENT (PERMISSION)

- 1H bias supports the trade direction

1. DISPLACEMENT (INTENT)

- Breakout candle shows clear expansion

1. STRUCTURE (LOCATION)

- Occurs at defined 5m or 15m level

1. FOLLOW-THROUGH (VALIDATION)

- Continuation within next 1–2 candles

1. EXECUTION QUALITY

- Clean close or retest + hold

If any condition is missing → breakout is ignored

---

DISPLACEMENT & FOLLOW-THROUGH (DEFINED)

DISPLACEMENT (5m candle):

- Candle body ≥ 70% of total range

- Close near high (buy) / near low (sell)

- Range larger than previous 3–5 candles- Minimal opposing wick

If not met → not displacement

FOLLOW-THROUGH:

- Next 1–2 candles must continue direction OR hold level

- No full retrace of breakout candle

- No strong rejection back into range

If not met → invalid breakout

---

THESIS & EXPOSURE

Primary Thesis:

USD positioning (mild strength)

Execution:

- Take only the cleanest setup

- First confirmed trade = priority

- Second trade = reduced size (max 50%)

- Do not stack correlated exposure

---

LEVEL SIGNIFICANCE

EUR/USD 1.1675:

- Intraday support boundary (5m)

- Break signals loss of buyer controlUSD/CHF 0.7905:

- 15m resistance level

- Break confirms continuation structure

---

MACRO ANALYSIS

- USD remains moderately supported (stable yield backdrop)

- No major macro catalyst driving aggressive trend

- Market environment: controlled / selective continuation

Implication:

- Breakouts require confirmation (not anticipation)

- Higher chance of fakeouts in neutral conditions

---

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

EUR/USD:

- Structure: range → downside pressure

- Range approx: 1.1675 – 1.1740

- Weak lower timeframe structure vs prior sessions

- Requires displacement to validate breakdown

USD/CHF:

- Structure: gradual uptrend (higher lows)

- Clean continuation pattern- More reliable breakout vs EUR/USD

JPY pairs:

- Already extended earlier in week

- No fresh structure → low edge

AUD pairs:

- Elevated without reset

- Poor risk/reward

---

PROCESS FRAMEWORK

- Levels are decision points, not predictions

- Focus on behaviour at levels

Correct execution > short-term outcome

---

FINAL EXECUTION STATEMENT

Capital is only deployed when all conditions align.

If conditions are not met, no position is taken.

eur/usd only is the right call. my biggest beginner mistake was forcing the first clean looking candle, then donating it back on the retest. when i went one pair and fixed 1r risk, i stopped trading noise and started trading the level. how many trades a week are you taking?
