5. How We Trade It Inside United Kings
- Momentum bursts — We layer in long micro-lots on hourly pullbacks toward the 20-EMA, scaling out at +1.5 ATR.
- Event hedges — Ahead of Fed/FOMC or Middle-East headlines, we buy weekly 0.25-delta calls financed with far-OTM puts.
- Mean-reversion shorts — When RSI-14 > 75 and GC1 > +2 % vs. 10-day VWAP, we fade with tight stops.
