An XVG short, and the rulebook behind it
A short setup on XVG comes packaged with a whole trading discipline: color-coded levels, leverage caps, and an admission that stops get hit.
In brief
A short setup on XVG comes packaged with a whole trading discipline: color-coded levels, leverage caps, and an admission that stops get hit. Cap each position at 1 to 5 percent of margin. The setup is a read on the market, but the sizing is the only part you actually control. Originally reported by TradingView.
Read the colors first

Yellow marks the entry, red marks the stop loss, green or blue marks the take profit. Three colors carry the whole trade, no text needed.
“Entry point: yellow Stop loss: red Take profit: green or blue”
Leverage depends on the asset
Crypto gets 5x to 20x. Commodities, stocks, indices and forex get 20x to 100x, because those markets move in smaller percentage steps.
Cap the margin at 5 percent
Use 1 to 5 percent margin, and keep total exposure under 5 percent across every open trade. Size for survival, not for the one good call.
“Invest only what you can afford to lose, as no one is in control of the market.”
Breakouts, patterns, two indicators
Setups come from trend line and horizontal breakouts, plus classic shapes like head and shoulders, triangles and Elliott impulses. At least two indicators confirm.
“We associate at least two indicators with this technique.”
Not every setup gets drawn
Across many channels and fast-moving markets, the reasoning behind a call often stays off the chart. You get the levels, not always the full argument.
“We don't always have the time to track them at all times or to represent them visibly”
Stops get hit here too
No promise of winning every trade, just winning more than losing. Close early or late if you are satisfied. The targets are guidance, not obligations.
“we must stay positive, clear-headed, and humble.”
The bottom line
Cap each position at 1 to 5 percent of margin. The setup is a read on the market, but the sizing is the only part you actually control.
