Choosing expiry & avoiding traps
104 words • ~0 min read
Expiry = how long your prediction needs to hold.
Match your expiry to the move
• Match expiry to your timeframe. Reading a 5m chart? 5–15m expiry, not 1m noise. • Shorter = noisier. 1m is mostly randomness; give your idea room to play out.
Avoid these traps: • High-impact news (NFP, CPI, FOMC) — spreads widen, price whips. Sit out unless that's your plan. • Dead liquidity (deep night for the asset) — erratic moves. • Revenge entries — trading right after a loss to 'get it back'. That's how accounts die.
Rule of thumb
If you can't say your reason in one sentence, you don't have a trade.
