How to Use the Market Guides as a Trader
The guides are designed to work together so you can build a complete trading framework, not just separate ideas. A simple way to use them is to move from products, to risk, to scaling.
Step 1: Choose Your Core Markets
- Use the Futures Trading Guides if you focus on index, rate, FX, energy or metals futures.
- Use the Forex & Indices Guides if your main edge is in FX pairs and equity indices, whether via spot, CFDs or futures.
- Write down exactly which products you will trade and which ones you will ignore.
Step 2: Build Your Risk Foundation
- Use Risk, DD, Risk-Reward Education to define risk per trade, daily loss limits and drawdown rules.
- Express risk in both account currency and R-multiples so you can scale without rewriting the whole plan.
- Make sure your rules are tighter than the strictest prop-firm requirement you work with, where applicable.
Step 3: Plan Scaling & Multi-Account Structure
- Use Account Scaling Guides to plan when and how position size will increase.
- Decide how you split risk across personal and funded accounts, and how you respond to drawdown.
- Include rules for stepping size down and withdrawing profits to protect capital.
Step 4: Integrate the Calendar
- Use News Trading & Economic Calendar to build a daily routine around economic releases.
- Mark restricted events that affect your products and funded accounts.
- Align your entries, exits and session rules with the calendar so you are not surprised by scheduled volatility.
