#ShareMyTrade I’m sharing my recent trading idea and execution as part of my ongoing short-term strategy focused on momentum and risk control. This trade was taken after identifying a clear consolidation range followed by increasing volume, which often signals an upcoming move.
Entry logic was based on price holding above a strong intraday support zone while forming higher lows on the lower timeframe. Once price reclaimed the short-term moving average with confirmation from volume expansion, I entered a long position. The idea was simple: follow momentum only after structure confirmed, not before. I avoided chasing the initial spike and waited for a controlled pullback to reduce risk.
For risk management, my stop-loss was placed just below the previous higher low and below the support zone that invalidated the bullish structure. This kept my risk tight and well-defined. Position sizing was adjusted so that even a full stop-out would not exceed my daily risk limit. No emotional decisions were involved, only predefined rules.
Exit logic was split into two parts. I secured partial profits near the first resistance level, where price had previously faced rejection. This locked in gains and reduced exposure. The remaining position was held until momentum started slowing and volume declined near the upper resistance area. Once bearish wicks appeared, I exited the rest of the trade.
The result was a clean trade with a favorable risk-to-reward ratio. Overall, the trade closed in profit, and more importantly, it followed my plan exactly. Even if it had failed, the process would still be considered a success because discipline was maintained.
Strategy insight: patience and confirmation matter more than prediction. Waiting for structure, volume, and clear invalidation levels helps avoid unnecessary losses and overtrading. Consistency comes from execution, not excitement.$GT
