Trade Only 1 Setup a Day – Here’s the One I Use!Hello Traders!
Ever heard the phrase: “Less is more” ? That applies perfectly to intraday trading. Chasing multiple setups often leads to overtrading, emotional decisions, and avoidable losses . Today, I’ll share why I prefer trading just one high-quality setup a day — and the exact one I personally use to stay consistent and stress-free.
Why Just One Setup a Day Works Wonders
Focus = Better Execution: When you wait for your setup, you don’t get distracted by noise.
Avoids Overtrading: No revenge trades, no chasing — just clean, planned execution.
Improves Risk Management: With one trade, you manage position sizing, SL, and RR with more clarity.
The Setup I Personally Use (VWAP + CPR Rejection Strategy)
Step 1 – Mark CPR + VWAP Zones
→ CPR gives range reference, VWAP shows volume-weighted fair value.
Step 2 – Wait for Rejection or Reversal from Zone
→ Look for price rejecting CPR or VWAP with a strong reversal candle (e.g., engulfing, pin bar, etc.)
Step 3 – Entry with Confirmation + SL
→ Enter only after breakout candle closes beyond the rejection level
→ SL = just above/below the zone
→ Target = 1:2 or nearest support/resistance
Why I Stick to This Setup
It Works Across Indices: Bank Nifty, Nifty, and even stocks.
Clear Risk-Reward Ratio: I know my exit before I enter.
Less Screen Time, More Peace: Once the trade is done, I’m done.
Rahul’s Tip
The market gives hundreds of signals, but only a few are clean. Trade one that fits your rulebook and let the rest go. Discipline > Drama.
Conclusion
You don’t need 10 trades a day to be profitable. You just need one trade with logic, structure, and discipline . Master one setup, build confidence, and let consistency build your capital.
