Core Entry Logic

1. Opening Range (OR) Box: mark 14:30–15:00 GMT high/low.
2. Bias with VWAP: above VWAP → long bias; below → short bias. Avoid counter-trend unless structure is clear.
3. Break → Retest: wait for OR break, then retest/hold to enter. Skip raw breakouts.
4. Confluence: OR edge + VWAP + prior day H/L or obvious liquidity sweep.

Signal Structure (Template)

BUY US30 @ 39,250
SL: 39,140 (behind invalidation) — ~0.5% risk
TP1: 39,330 • TP2: 39,420 • Runner: trail under HLs / VWAP

After TP1: move SL to breakeven; trim to protect day; keep runner small unless trend day confirms.

Numbers are examples; live levels come via FXPremiere channels.

Trend Day

• Clean OR break + hold with VWAP support/resistance.
• Let runner work; staircase trailing.
• TP1 quick; TP2 at measured move; runner into structure.

Balanced Range

• Wicks at OR edges; VWAP magnets price.
• Scalp edges → VWAP; smaller size.
• No hero runners; pay yourself at TP1.

Reversal Day

• Opening squeeze into HTF level, fast fail back inside OR.
• Enter on failure→reclaim; stops tight.
• Trail aggressively; volatility high.

Risk & Drawdown Control

• Risk ~0.5% per setup (account currency).
• Daily max loss ~1.5% — stop trading if hit.
• Reduce size into Tier-1 U.S. data; trade the second move.
• Mandatory TP1 → SL to BE; runner stays small unless trend confirms.

Checklist (Print This)

• Map OR (14:30–15:00 GMT) & VWAP.
• Trade retests, not naked breaks.
• Size before entry; no averaging down.
• Journal: context, trigger, management, outcome.
