Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the Bearish Trend Setup and how is it introduced in Daytrading Master?
The Bearish Trend Setup is a template or stop for downward days that uses the daily chart to determine daily conditions and the 15-minute timeframe for entry. In this approach, entries are made in the downward direction, emphasizing the use of the 20SMA as a reference for entry and proximity to this line.
Which two timeframes are used in this course and what is the goal of each?
The course uses two timeframes: the daily chart for forming and defining the daily setup, and the 15-minute timeframe for trade entry. These are the only two timeframes utilized.
What points should be considered to identify a day with a downward trend and how to avoid entering against the trend?
A day is identified as a Bearish Trending Day, with key points including avoiding entries against the trend and selling when large bullish bars close. Also, recent examples of bearish days support these settings.
What is the role of the 20SMA and exactly where is the entry executed?
The 20SMA serves as the main reference for entries in this strategy, and entries should be made near or on the 20SMA to align with the downward trend.

The risk to reward ratio is 2.5 to 1, with a win rate evaluated at about 40-45%. The expected value per trade ranges between 0.4 and 0.6.
What are the suggested ways to improve and practice, and how many key setups should be mastered?
To improve, one should master 3 to 6 repeatable setups, including trending, range-bound, and reversal modes, in both upward and downward directions. It is also emphasized to make only one trade per day to achieve success despite possible mistakes.
