Category: Trading Strategies and Techniques – Beginner to Intermediate
At Tradyx.ai, we know that successful trading isn’t just about finding the right entry and exit points — it’s about having a structured plan behind every decision.
Too many traders jump into the market with a gut feeling or copy strategies without a clear roadmap. That’s why today, we’re walking you through how to build a trading plan that actually works, tailored to your goals, personality, and risk profile.
A trading plan is your personal rulebook.
Without a plan, trading becomes emotional and reactive — and that leads to inconsistent results.
Here’s what every solid trading plan should include:
1️⃣ Define Your Trading Goals
Be specific.
🎯 Example: “Earn 2% monthly with no more than 1% risk per trade.”
Your goals guide your risk tolerance and strategy type (scalping, swing, or position trading).
2️⃣ Choose Your Markets and Timeframes
Focus on markets you understand (e.g., forex, crypto, stocks).
Then, decide your timeframe — 1-minute charts? Daily? Weekly?
📌 Pro Tip: Beginners often do better with longer timeframes (like 1-hour or daily) to reduce noise and overtrading.
3️⃣ Develop or Select a Strategy
Define clear entry and exit rules based on technical indicators, price action, or fundamentals.
🔹 Example: “Buy when RSI drops below 30 and price touches support zone.”
🔹 Exit: “Sell when price hits 5% profit or if RSI crosses above 70.”
4️⃣ Set Risk Management Rules
This is non-negotiable. Every plan should include:
🔒 Stop-loss placement
💵 Risk per trade (% of account balance)
🧮 Position sizing formula
5️⃣ Plan for Emotions and Mistakes
Markets are emotional — your plan shouldn't be.
📌 Add a section to your plan that addresses:
