Developing Our H1 Strategy from a Daily Time Frame Approach

March was a remarkable month at FXC Academy! We successfully implemented H1 trading and are finalizing our trading plan with our Gold Membership members. This transition has allowed us to refine our approach and optimize trade execution in line with current market conditions.

Why We Shifted to H1 Trading

The decision to incorporate H1 trading was driven by market conditions, particularly the lower volume on the daily time frame due to uncertainty surrounding Trump’s tariff policies. While the daily time frame remains a powerful tool for identifying overall trends and key levels, the reduced market movement required us to adapt. By shifting to H1, we were able to capitalize on shorter-term movements while still maintaining a strong risk-to-reward ratio.

Building on the Daily Time Frame Approach

Our H1 strategy is not a standalone approach but rather an extension of our daily time frame methodology. We continue to use daily analysis to define the broader market context, such as key support and resistance levels, trend direction, and fundamental influences. However, instead of waiting for daily closures, we use the H1 chart for precision entries and better trade management.

Key aspects of our H1 strategy include:

1:2 Risk-to-Reward Ratio

 Ensuring our trades have a favorable 1:2 R:R while keeping losses controlled.

High Win Rate

Maintaining a win rate similar to our daily approach, ensuring consistency in profitability.

Same Charting Approach

Using the same technical analysis principles from the daily time frame to identify high-probability trades.

A Strategy Tailored to Your Lifestyle

One of the greatest advantages of our H1 strategy is its flexibility. We understand that our members have different schedules and trading styles, which is why we provide guidance on how to tailor the strategy to individual lifestyles. Whether you prefer more active trading sessions or a more structured, selective approach, our strategy can be adapted to fit your needs.

With H1 trading, members can:

  • Choose the best time slots to trade based on their availability.
  • Adapt position sizing and trade frequency to suit their risk appetite.

Finalizing Our Trading Plan

As we continue refining our H1 approach, we are working closely with our Gold Membership members to finalize our trading plan. The goal is to create a well-structured system that combines the strengths of both daily and H1 trading while allowing individual traders to personalize their execution based on their unique preferences.

By bridging the gap between daily and H1 trading, we ensure that our members are equipped with a versatile, effective strategy that adapts to changing market conditions and their personal trading styles.
