Basic Rules of The X-Ray Strategy
In the middle of the price movement "between the sell-reversal zone and the
buy-reversal zone" there are no entry points! Only trade the most accurate setups in
the reversal zones!
2. The larger time frame is more important. First, I look at H1 and identify the
direction of the Trend. Draw the levels and reversal zones. Then look for an entry
point or wait for a signal on the M5 time frame.
3. Trading without a stop loss is prohibited!
4. Better a more precise entry (above / below) than 2-3 imprecise entries.
5. Keep a "trading diary" (take screenshots of all your transactions and explain why a
position was opened/closed? Why such a stop-loss? Etc. You should analyze your
diary two times a week!
6. If the loss is more than 8% in one Day, you should temporarily stop trading. Come
to rest and analyze all of your mistakes and thoughts. Be sure to analyze every failed
entry!
7. If the price is moving sharply in one direction, do not enter the market. "No
additional movements".
8. According to the strategy, the daily profit goal is 30-40 pips. If you already have
made the required profit, you can close all positions and relax.
9. The main thing is that the mathematical expectation of your profit is reasonable.
1 : 1 bad 1 : 1.5 satisfied
1 : 2 – 1 : 3 good 1 : 4 very good
10. Focus only on one currency pair!
11. A maximum of 1-2 transactions per Day. Visually train the entry point accuracy on
historical data.
12. Treat the results of transactions as statistics! There shouldn't be any emotion
when you get a stop loss. The same goes for your profit! We, as traders, have to see
ourselves as robots that guarantee the functioning of the trading system. One of the
most serious psychological mistakes in becoming a successful trader is the
retention/relation to the money. The goal shouldn't be to make money instantly. The
goal should be developing the right thinking and the right experience. This is the
correct approach to trading and it will make you more money in the long run.
13. Daily check of the economic calendar. It is better not to open a trade 20-40
minutes before the major news gets published!
Here I have come to the end of describing all the trading tools and the trading logic.
