I trade with the flow of the market, never against it.

I start on the 1W and Daily timeframes to determine overall structure, bias (using V or A patterns), and key liquidity levels. The 4H serves as my trend anchor. On the 4H, I mark high-probability zones with strict criteria (only if there is a confluence of at least 2 markers at a level)

- Breaker Blocks
- FVGs
- 61.8% or 50% or 38.2% fib
- Order Blocks

I wait for the price to retrace into these 4H zones. Only when the 1H begins mirroring the 4H structure do I enter, with a clean 1:2 risk-to-reward.

Entry rules

1. Higher timeframe alignment: 1W shows clear structure with marked liquidity pools
2. Daily bias confirmed via V-pattern (bullish) or A-pattern (bearish) on line chart
3. 4H timeframe defines the dominant trend direction (anchor)
4. Price retraces into a valid 4H zone
5. Valid 4H zones must meet these criteria: (at least 2 markers must coincide)
6. a. Breaker Block: forms after sweeping previous liquidity, or after an aggressive Break of Structure (BOS), or with an overlap with a Fair Value Gap (FVG)
7. b. FVG: forms after price sweeps previous liquidity Must have broken structure BOS aggressively, or with protected liquidity above or below it waiting to be swept
8. c. 61.8% or 50% or 38.2% fib level that coincides with other markers like BOS of FVG level
9. d. Order Block: coincides with a previous breaker block at the back, breaks existing structure BOS, and has liquidity resting in front of it to be cleared.
10. Enter on 30M timeframe confirmation: Price action begins mirroring the 4H trend structure (momentum shift) (usually an engulfing candle at interest level)

Invalidation

1. Price breaks the 4H structure against the bias
2. 1H fails to align with 4H trend after touching 4H zone (no momentum confirmation)
3. Trade invalid if price sweeps the 4H zone without reaction and continues against 4H direction

Stop loss and take profit

1. SL: Placed beyond the most recent swing high/low or liquidity level from 1H
2. TP: Minimum 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio, up to 1:3
3. Target key liquidity pools, swing highs/lows, or next major structure level on 4H
