Episode notes
From Daily Pinbars To M1 Scalping
- Saul moved from daily pin-bar trading to M1 scalping because he couldn't sleep with large swing positions.
- Scalping suited his personality and allowed session-based trading with active management.
Bank Profits At Key Levels
- Place take-profits at clear counter supply levels rather than vague targets.
- Bank full wins and accept partial losses; rejoin if momentum reappears.

- Skilled long-term traders on the platform tend to be swing traders with larger R:R and patience.
