How to use this strategy on PSX

1. Confirm market context

Check Market Overview and Money Flow first so you know whether PSX breadth, flow, and sector leadership support this setup type.

2. Read the signal columns

Use the price, structure, and confirmation columns together. These strategy pages are designed to improve selection quality, not to replace execution and risk management.

3. Use backtests as context

Backtests help you understand expectancy, hold time, and drawdown behavior. They should sharpen judgment, not turn a setup into a guaranteed trade.
