Episode 108 Darko's Forex Game Plan: Trade With Structure, Not Emotion

Author: Darko Ali & Vic Noble May 3, 2026 Duration: 57:42
Most traders don’t lose because they lack a strategy. They lose because they don’t have a plan they can follow every week.

In this episode, I break down my full trading game plan step by step. How I use the yearly chart for bigger picture, monthly and weekly for trend and key levels, and then drop to 4H or 1H to time entries with structure damage. I explain what “decisive closed candle action” means, how I build bias, where I enter using 61.8 fib or key support and resistance, and why JPY pairs are different.  

We also go into the part most traders ignore: risk and trade management. Fixed 0.5% risk per trade, reducing exposure when pairs are correlated, how I take TP1 and TP2, when I protect the trade, and how I avoid getting chopped up by emotions.  

If you’ve been forcing trades, changing your rules mid trade, or jumping between styles, this episode will help you build a simple process you can stick to and execute with consistency.
