Most traders don’t lose because they can’t analyze… They lose because they don’t have a simple plan.
Here is my 3-level rule to survive any market:
1- Entry Level (E)
Never enter a trade because you feel it will go up. Enter ONLY when:
price bounces from a support zone, or
a breakout is confirmed. No confirmation = no entry.
2- Safety Level (S)
Right after entering, place a clear stop-loss. Your stop-loss should not be emotional. It must be based on market structure (last liquidity zone or last low).
3- Take-Profit Level (TP)
Set your target before entering the trade: – TP1 to secure partial profit – TP2 for the main gain The market must follow your plan — not the other way around.
This simple rule has saved me from more losses than any indicator ever did. When you trade with a plan, you trade with power.
