What is considered a single trade setup?

Similar trades opened and closed within a short interval of 1–2 minutes are considered part of a single trade setup.

Similar trades refer to trades placed in the same direction on the same instrument. For example, multiple Sell trades on XAUUSD opened within a short period would be treated as related trades.

For example:

You open a Sell trade on XAUUSD and close it with a loss of -$100.

Within 1-2 minutes, you open another Sell trade on XAUUSD and close it with a loss of -$150.

Since both trades are similar and executed within a short interval, they will be treated as a single trade setup. The total loss for the setup would therefore be -$250.
