The Five Pillars of Edge
01
Bias
Knowing what direction you expect price to move before the session starts. Bias comes from structural analysis, overnight context, and higher timeframe positioning. Without bias you are reacting instead of anticipating.
02
Location
Identifying where you want to engage. Not every level is worth trading. Location means waiting for price to reach a structural area where your edge exists rather than forcing trades in the middle of nowhere.
03
Execution
The trigger that gets you into the trade. This is where orderflow tools come in. Absorption, exhaustion, pulling and stacking, delta divergence. Execution confirms that the auction is behaving as expected at your location.
04
Risk Management
Defining your stop and position size before you enter. Risk management is not optional. It is the foundation that keeps you in the game. Without it, one bad trade can undo weeks of good work.
05
Profit Management
Knowing when and how to take profit. This is where most edge is lost. Cutting winners too early or holding too long are both symptoms of not having a plan for exits. Define your targets before you enter.
