Question 1

I'm a complete beginner. Can I use these patterns?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Start with these steps: • Pick ONE instrument (Gold or EUR/USD recommended) • Learn Pattern #1 (Classic Reversal) first • Paper trade for 2-4 weeks minimum • Master 2-3 patterns before going live • Always use proper risk management (1-2% per trade) Important: Don't try to learn all 17 patterns at once. Master one pattern at a time.

Question 2

Which instrument should I start with?

Accepted Answer

Recommended for beginners: • Gold (XAU/USD): Clear patterns, high liquidity, Pattern #4 works 70% of the time • EUR/USD: Most liquid forex pair, tight spreads, clean price action Avoid as beginner: GBP/USD (too choppy) and the gold futures contracts until you are comfortable with contract sizing

Question 3

What timeframe should I use?

Accepted Answer

Best timeframes: • 15-minute chart: Primary chart for pattern identification • 5-minute chart: For precise entries • 1-hour chart: For overall trend context Pro tip: Use 15m to identify the pattern, 5m to time your entry, 1h to confirm trend.

Question 4

How long does it take to master one pattern?

Accepted Answer

Realistic timeline: • Week 1-2: Learn the pattern structure and rules • Week 3-4: Paper trade and identify patterns in real-time • Week 5-8: Live trading with small size • Month 3+: Consistent profitability Key: Quality over speed. Master one pattern before moving to the next.

Question 5

When should I enter the trade?

Accepted Answer

Entry timing: • Best entry: During the reversal candle (requires experience) • Safe entry: Wait for confirmation (1-2 candles in new direction) • Conservative entry: Wait for retest of the swept level Kill zones for each pattern are listed on the pattern pages.

Question 6

Where should I place my stop loss?

Accepted Answer

Stop loss placement: • Bullish patterns: Below the swept low (SSL) • Bearish patterns: Above the swept high (BSL) • Buffer: Add 5-10 points buffer for volatility Never: Use fixed pip stops. Always base on structure.

Question 7

What are realistic profit targets?

Accepted Answer

Target guidelines: • Target 1: Previous session high/low (50% position) • Target 2: Previous day high/low (30% position) • Target 3: Weekly high/low (20% position - runners) Risk-reward: Aim for minimum 1:2 (risk $100 to make $200).

Question 8

Should I trade during news releases?

Accepted Answer

NO! Avoid major news: • NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls) • FOMC (Federal Reserve meetings) • CPI/Inflation data • Central bank decisions (ECB, BOE, BOJ) Why: Patterns break during news. Price becomes unpredictable. You can get stopped out even with correct pattern.

Question 9

What tools do I need?

Accepted Answer

Essential tools: • Trading platform: TradingView (free version works) • Broker: Any regulated broker with tight spreads • Session indicator: Shows Asian/London/NY sessions • Economic calendar: Know when news releases happen That's it! You don't need expensive indicators or software.

Question 10

How do I mark BSL and SSL?

Accepted Answer

BSL (Buy Side Liquidity): • Draw horizontal line ABOVE recent highs • This is where buy stops are sitting • When price sweeps above = grabbed BSL SSL (Sell Side Liquidity): • Draw horizontal line BELOW recent lows • This is where sell stops are sitting • When price sweeps below = grabbed SSL

Question 11

What's IFVG?

Accepted Answer

IFVG = Inverse Fair Value Gap • A gap in price where there's inefficiency • Price tends to return to fill these gaps • Used for entry refinement Not critical for beginners: Focus on sessions and liquidity first. Add IFVG later for precision.

Question 12

Why do I keep losing with these patterns?

Accepted Answer

Common reasons: • Trading during news: Patterns fail during high-impact news • Wrong timeframe: Use 15m for patterns, not 1m or 1h • No confirmation: Entering too early without reversal confirmation • Poor risk management: Risking more than 1-2% per trade • Too many patterns: Trying to trade 10 patterns at once • Ignoring Previous Day NY: Missing the critical context Fix: Go back to paper trading. Master ONE pattern first.

Question 13

Why doesn't the pattern work sometimes?

Accepted Answer

Patterns are probabilities, not guarantees: • 70% success = 30% failure (3 out of 10 trades will lose) • Market conditions matter (trending vs ranging) • News can override technical patterns • Liquidity matters (avoid low liquidity times) This is normal! Even 70% win rate makes you profitable with good risk management.

Question 14

Can I trade multiple instruments simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but: • Master ONE instrument first (3-6 months) • Then add a 2nd instrument (different category) • Max 3-4 instruments for most traders Good combos: Gold + EUR/USD, or Oil + USD/CAD (oil-correlated)

Question 15

How do I track my pattern performance?

Accepted Answer

Keep a trading journal: • Screenshot each trade • Note which pattern you used • Record entry, stop, targets • Track win rate per pattern After 30 trades: You'll know which patterns work best for YOU.

Question 16

Are you selling a course or signals?

Accepted Answer

No - but it's not free either. Not a course (no video lessons or curriculum), not a signal service (nobody tells you what to trade or when to enter), no upsells beyond the instrument access itself. What it is: paid access to the session-based pattern content, per instrument - $20/year for EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CAD, USD/CHF, and WTI Oil; $30/year for Gold (spot and futures). Why I created this: To share knowledge and help traders learn session-based patterns. Learning | Growing | Evolving together.
