Core Intraday Setups

Setup 1: Opening Range Breakout

Concept: Trade breakout of first 30-minute range.

How to trade:

1. Mark high and low of 10:30-11:00 candles
2. Wait for breakout of this range
3. Entry on breakout
4. SL inside range
5. TP = Range height projected

Example:

Opening Range: 4,200 - 4,230 (30 ticks)
Breakout above 4,230 at 11:15

Entry: 4,232
SL: 4,215 (inside range)
TP: 4,260 (30 ticks from breakout)

Setup 2: Support/Resistance Bounce

Concept: Entry at key S/R levels with confirmation.

How to trade:

1. Identify previous day high/low
2. Wait for price to approach level
3. Look for rejection candle
4. Entry on confirmation
5. SL beyond the level
6. TP at opposite S/R

Example:

Previous day low: 4,180
Price drops to 4,182
Hammer candle forms

Entry: 4,185
SL: 4,170 (below PDL)
TP: 4,220 (next resistance)

Setup 3: Trend Continuation

Concept: Entry on pullback in established trend.

How to trade:

1. Identify intraday trend (series of HH/HL or LH/LL)
2. Wait for pullback to 20 EMA or minor S/R
3. Entry on bounce
4. SL below pullback low
5. TP at previous high (for long) or measured move

Example:

Uptrend established (HH, HL pattern)
Price pulls back to 20 EMA at 4,210
Bullish candle at EMA

Entry: 4,215
SL: 4,200 (below pullback)
TP: 4,250 (previous high)

Position Management

Intraday Position Size

Rule: Use position sizing formula

Position = Risk Amount ÷ (SL × RM 25)

Example:
Capital: RM 15,000
Risk: 2% = RM 300
SL: 15 ticks = RM 375 per lot

Position = RM 300 ÷ RM 375 = 0.8 → Round to 1 lot

Scaling In/Out

Scaling In:

• Enter 50% at first signal
• Add 50% on confirmation
• Average entry improves

Scaling Out:

• Exit 50% at first target
• Move SL to breakeven on rest
• Let remainder run to final target

Trail Stop

For trending days:

1. Initial SL at technical level
2. At +15 ticks: Move SL to breakeven
3. At +25 ticks: Move SL to +10
4. At +35 ticks: Move SL to +20
5. Continue trailing
