1) Core Apps You’ll Need

• Trading platform: MT4/MT5 or cTrader (desktop + mobile). Turn on one-click trading; pre-load XAU/USD & majors.
• Charting: Any platform you like for levels/alerts; add XAU/USD, DXY, yields as watchlist items.

2) Position Size & Risk Calculators

Size lots from risk % and SL distance, not gut feel.

• Risk per trade: 0.5%–1% of balance (beginner-friendly).
• Position size formula (concept): Lots = (Risk% × Balance) / (SL distance × Value per point)
• Include costs: Check spread + potential slippage on XAU/USD during news.

3) Beginner Execution Checklist (Print or Save)

• ✔️ Risk set (0.5%–1%); lot size calculated from SL distance.
• ✔️ Spread acceptable for session; no chasing after spikes.
• ✔️ Economic event check: CPI/NFP/FOMC? If yes, reduce size or wait for structure.
• ✔️ No hidden USD stack (XAU + multiple USD-shorts simultaneously).
• ✔️ TP ladder (TP1/TP2/TP3) and trailing plan defined.

4) Alerts That Save You (and Your R:R)

• Price alerts: At entry zone and invalidation; avoid staring at charts.
• Calendar alerts: 30/10/1 mins pre-news to pause new entries or adjust size.
• Risk alerts: Daily/weekly loss cap reached? Stop trading.
