Module Outcomes
Module 16 Lesson Map
Intraday trading is a professional skill. Strategy without risk management is gambling.
Intraday Strategy Simulator (Market Flow)
Select a strategy scenario to see how intraday price behaves. This simulation teaches structure + psychology.
Strategy Scenarios
📌 Not every day is tradable.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Simulation
ORB is a professional method to trade early volatility. It works best when market chooses a direction.
ORB Scenarios
📌 Failure happens when market returns inside range.
Fake Breakout Trap Simulation
Traps happen when crowd enters early and price reverses sharply. Learn how liquidity is collected.
Trap Scenarios
📌 Strong reversal candle confirms trap.
Lesson 1: Breakout + Retest Strategy
A high probability setup when breakout happens with strength and retest holds the level.
Workflow
- Mark resistance/support zone
- Wait for breakout candle close outside zone
- Wait for retest (pullback) into zone
- Entry when price holds zone + rejection candle forms
Lesson 2: VWAP Sweep Strategy (Conceptual)
This lesson explains VWAP sweep as a liquidity event, not as a fixed signal system.
What is VWAP Sweep?
- Price moves sharply beyond VWAP
- Triggers stops and weak positions
- Then price reclaims VWAP quickly
- Market chooses real direction after sweep
Lesson 3: Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
ORB is one of the most popular intraday strategies used globally.
Core Concept
- Define first 5/15 minute range
- Breakout above range = bullish bias
- Breakdown below range = bearish bias
- Best ORB occurs with volume expansion
Lesson 4: Gap Up / Gap Down Strategy
Gap days create high volatility and directional momentum.
Gap Day Types
- Gap and Go (trend continuation)
- Gap Fill (reversion to previous close)
- Gap Trap (false early direction)
Lesson 5: Trend Day Strategy
Trend days create the biggest intraday moves. Identify them early.
Trend Day Signs
- Strong directional move from open
- Shallow pullbacks
- Price respects moving average support
- Breakouts keep holding
Lesson 6: Range Day Strategy
Range days trap breakout traders. Best for mean reversion and support/resistance plays.
Range Day Signs
- Price fails to trend after opening
- Breakouts fail repeatedly
- Volume stays average or low
- Market moves between support and resistance
Lesson 7: Fake Breakout Trap Strategy
Fake breakouts are engineered traps that create liquidity for real moves.
Trap Recognition
- Price breaks level but closes back inside
- Large wick rejection candle appears
- Volume spike appears but no continuation
- Reversal begins sharply opposite direction
Lesson 8: Risk Management in Intraday
The real strategy is risk control. Without risk management, even best setups fail.
Intraday Risk Rules
- Fix daily max loss limit
- Stop trading after 2 consecutive losses
- Always trade with defined stoploss
- Never average losing positions
- Keep position size consistent
- One good trade is better than 10 random trades
