The Setup That Actually Makes You Profitable

It’s not on your chart.
It’s in your mind.

You keep asking for new secrets.
But you don’t need more information.

Here’s the only setup that scales 🧵👇
1/ You lose money for one reason:

You break your own rules.

Fear. Greed. Hesitation.

Every blown account is a failure of the mind, not the strategy.
2/ The market doesn’t beat you.

Your emotions do.

Until you master yourself, you will always sabotage your edge.
3/ Your job isn’t to predict.

Your job is to execute.

With precision. With detachment.

Every trade is a test of character.
4/ Before you click, ask:

Am I calm?
Am I following my plan?
Or am I reacting?

The setup doesn’t matter if your mind is clouded.
5/ The Stoic Setup:

✅ Clear system
✅ Pre-trade breathwork
✅ Emotion filter
✅ Ruthless execution
✅ Outcome indifference

No noise. No prediction. Just process.
6/ Detach. Or die a chart slave.

You control 3 things:

Risk
Entry
Exit

Everything else is chaos. Accept it.
7/ Most traders chase dopamine.

Stoic Traders chase mastery.

Not excitement. Not certainty.

Just control over themselves.
8/ The edge isn’t what you trade.

It’s how you trade it.

Focus on that.

Or keep paying tuition to the market gods.
🧠 Master your mind.
📈 Respect your rules.
🏛️ Follow the Protocol.

Most won’t.
That’s why you’ll win.

99% of traders chase candles in the middle of the range

Then wonder why they're stuck in drawdown.

Here's how to trade ranges with just two candles 🧵👇 Image
1/ Most traders chase candles.

Stoic Traders map structure.

In any ranging market, two candles rule:

The Highest Candle
The Lowest Candle

Here's how to leverage them.
2/ Highest Candle (Range Top)

Mark the bottom of this candle clearly.

This line isn't random, it's a proven area where sellers defend territory.

Trade from here:
Shorts with tight risk

Targets back towards midpoint or Lowest Candle of the Range

Everyone talks about manipulation.

Almost no one can actually spot it in real-time.

But there’s a sequence.

A pattern that shows up again and again.

I call it the Swing Breakout Sequence (SBS)

And it’s as close to the holy grail as trading gets.

Here’s how it works 👇 Image
Swing Breakout Sequence (SBS)

1. Breakout
2. First Pullback
3. New High
4. Return to Liquidate First Pullback
5. Double Bottom Reversal
6. Target New Swing High Image
There are two primary SBS Models: Image

I blew up multiple accounts before I realized this:

Complex strategies weren’t the solution.

They were the distraction.

Here’s the brutally simple system I use now (and why it works): 🧵👇 Image
1/ Start with bias.

Most traders guess direction, you won’t.

Plot your 20 & 200 MAs.
- Price above both = bullish bias
- Price below both = bearish bias
- 20 crossing the 200 = transition

This is your compass. Don’t fight it.
2/ Spot the impulse move.

Every real move starts with force.

Find the first strong push in the direction of your MA bias.

That’s your reference leg.
The move that started the shift.

Most traders overcomplicate everything.

Here’s my trading system:
- One Timeframe
- Two moving averages
- One fib level
- Simple execution

Let me show you 🧵👇 Image
🎯 One timeframe = One intention

5min → day trades
1H → swing trades
Daily → position trades/investing

No flipping back and forth.
Clarity comes from commitment.
📊 Trend Bias

200 SMA = Structure
20 SMA = Momentum

If price is above both → long bias
If price is below both → short bias

If they’re tangled? Sit out. Let the chart clean up.

99% of traders fail.

Not because their strategy sucks, but because they can’t follow simple rules.

This 61.8 retracement system could make you rich.

But only if you can master yourself. 🧵👇 Image
1/ You don’t need a complicated strategy, secret patterns, fancy indicators...

A simple setup like:
- Entry: 61.8% retracement
- Stop: below the swing low
- Target: 3R

Can be more than enough, but…
2/ You need the psychological strength to execute it without fail.

No skipping trades because you “don’t feel good about it.”

No moving stops because “this one looks different.”

No closing early because “it’s stalling near 1.5R.”

No second-guessing.

The 61.8% retracement is my favorite level in trading.

It’s not magic.
It’s not luck.
It’s as close as we get to solving the market.

Here’s why it works and why I trust it more than any indicator 🧵👇 Image
1/ It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Millions of traders watch it.
Banks watch it.
Algos watch it.

So when price pulls back to 61.8%, people act.

The level works not because it’s mystical but because the herd believes in it.
2/ It mirrors the rhythm of nature.

The golden ratio appears in seashells, galaxies, sunflowers.

Markets are no different.

61.8% is the sweet spot between chaos and control.

Deep enough to scare weak hands.
Precise enough to trap the herd.
