About us

Who we are & what we do

TopSetup Trading was founded by an active Gold and Bitcoin scalper — built from the chart up, not from a marketing deck.

WHO WE ARE

Traders first, educators second

TopSetup Trading is a trading education brand specialised in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) — the framework of order flow, liquidity and market structure used to understand how institutional participants move price.

Everything we publish comes from live intraday trading in XAUUSD and BTC perpetuals. Our methods are the ones we use ourselves, every session.

WHAT WE DO

We make SMC teachable and visible

We teach the concepts — structure, liquidity, fair value — in clear, practical form: as indicators, as a handbook, as videos, and through the training environment of our broker partner.

Our tools and content are training aids, not signal services. They exist to accelerate your learning, not to replace your judgement.

Our goal

Turn chart-watchers into structured, self-reliant traders — one concept at a time.

The method

Three timeframes. One score. One decision.

Our confluence model aligns 15M, 5M and 1M structure: 15M sets direction, 5M finds the zone, 1M gives the trigger. Only when the timeframes agree does a setup count — 2/3 is valid, 3/3 is strong. The dashboard trains exactly this discipline: no alignment, no trade.

Concepts covered

What you learn to read

Every concept in our curriculum is also detected and drawn by the premium indicator — theory and chart, side by side.

STRUCTURE

BOS & CHoCH

Break of structure and change of character — the grammar of trend and reversal.

ZONES

Order Blocks & FVG

Where institutional orders concentrate and where price left inefficiency.

LIQUIDITY

Sweep detection

Liquidity grabs above highs and below lows — seeing the trap before the reversal.

LEVELS

Fibonacci

Auto-anchored retracements including 61.8, 71 and 78.6 — the discount zones of SMC.

FILTER

Fakeout detection

Distinguishing genuine breakouts from engineered traps.

CONTEXT

Pivot control

Which side controls the active pivot — a directional filter on top of structure.

MACRO

DXY & Silver

Reading Gold against the dollar index and silver, so setups follow the macro tape.

FOCUS

Scalping discipline

Fixed 15M / 5M / 1M stack for XAUUSD and BTC — fast markets demand fixed rules.

Training purpose

Education, not investment advice

Everything TopSetup Trading publishes — indicators, dashboards, books, videos, community content and any signals or commentary shared through our broker-partner environment — serves one purpose: training and education. Nothing we publish is a buy or sell recommendation, and no output should be understood as financial advice.

Trading leveraged instruments such as Gold CFDs and crypto perpetuals carries a high risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. Practise on demo accounts first, trade only capital you can afford to lose, and treat everything you learn here as a framework for study — every trading decision remains entirely your own.
