Top-Down Trading Strategy for Prop Firm Success
🎯 This is the core day trading structure behind my PFK Alpha strategy — the same system I teach inside the VIP Discord and use myself across multiple funded accounts.
If you're trying to build consistency with a prop firm account, this strategy gives you a clean roadmap. It keeps things simple: we use higher timeframes to define structure and bias, then enter on the lower timeframes with confirmation and clear risk parameters.
Gold (XAUUSD) is my favorite asset to apply this to — it moves cleanly, respects levels, and gives us plenty of opportunities throughout every session.
Let’s walk through how it all comes together.
This is a top-down approach that works across any asset, but is especially strong on gold.
Start with the 4-hour chart. Your job here is to mark out key support and resistance zones. These are your high-probability areas for entries, stop placement, or take profit exits. Key Levels can be psychological numbers such as $3400 on gold or previous supply and demand level which I talk about often in the Discord Lives.
Think of these zones as the battlefield — everything else builds around them.
