Top 3 Trading Tips from TradGrip

You don’t need 20 indicators or a magic signal. You need a repeatable process. Here are the three tips I give new and progressing traders on TradGrip, with exactly how to implement them using the platform’s tools.

1) Make Risk Boring (and Automatic)

How to do it on TradGrip

• Use the Position Size Calculator in the order ticket.
• Formula behind the scenes:
• size = (equity × risk%) ÷ stop_distance_in_$
• Set SL/TP visually on the chart (drag to price), then lock the order.
• Add a daily loss note-to-self (e.g., “Stop trading at –2R or –3%”) and respect it.

Guardrails that save accounts

• Only take trades with ≥ 1.5R potential (2R preferred).
• No new trades 30–45 minutes before red-flag news unless you’re already partially realized.

Quick example

2) Trade Fewer, Better Setups (Bias + Timing)

Goal: Align with the higher-timeframe trend and show up when the market pays.

How to do it on TradGrip

• Add Daily/4H and 15M charts to a multi-pane layout.
• Toggle Session Markers (London, London–NY overlap). That’s where fills are cleaner.
• Set price alerts at pre-planned levels so you’re not glued to the screen.
• Keep the economic calendar panel open to avoid walking into data releases.

A simple playbook that works

Bias: Trade with the Daily/4H swing (HH/HL = long, LH/LL = short).

Location: Enter from value (prior demand/supply, 200 EMA, range edge).

Trigger (15M): Break-of-structure or a strong momentum reclaim of your level.

Management: TP1 at +1R → stop to breakeven → trail the rest.

Why this wins

You stop chasing mid-range.

You avoid dead hours.

Your entries are planned, not emotional.

3) Journal Like a Pro (Weekly Truth, Not Vibes)

How to do it on TradGrip

Goal: Measure edge → repeat what works → cut what doesn’t.

• After each trade, save a chart screenshot (pre-plan and exit).
• Export statements (CSV/PDF) weekly and track:
• Win rate, average R, profit factor
• Max drawdown and time to recover
• Performance by session (London vs. overlap)
• Mistakes (entered in chop, traded into news, moved stops, etc.)

One-page log template

• Bias/Zone/Trigger (D/4H/15M):
• Entry / SL / TP plan:
• Risk % / Expected R:
• Outcome (R multiple):Note one repeat and one remove for next week.

What happens fast

• B-setups vanish. Your average R rises. Drawdowns smooth out.

A 10-Minute Pre-Market Routine (Copy/Paste)

1. Check the calendar → mark red-flag releases.
2. Define HTF bias (Daily/4H) for your 2–3 symbols.
3. Draw zones and set alerts slightly before them.
4. Decide risk % for the session (0.5–1.0%).
5. Walk away until alerts ping. Place orders with visual SL/TP only.

Putting It Together on TradGrip

• The WebTrader makes trade-from-chart and risk sizing effortless.
• MT5 is there when you need partials, DOM, or to test an EA guardrail (e.g., “block new entries 30 minutes before red news”).
• Funding is predictable — do a tiny withdrawal early to build confidence.
• Support answers with numbers (symbol specs, margin %), which speeds up your learning curve.

If you only adopt these three habits—fixed risk, fewer/better setups, and weekly journaling—your trading will feel calmer and perform more consistently. TradGrip’s tools make that discipline easier: size right, enter clean, and review honestly.
