i take a trade basically after i see Liquidity has been swept and i trade with the banks

Entry rules

1. Valid BOS
2. Analyse the strength of the zone
3. Strength of the expansion move
4. Look for liquidity sweeps
5. Enter after rejection from zone

Invalidation

1. Weak zone
2. No liquidity sweep
3. Lack of BOS

Stop loss and take profit

1. SL and TP at the bottom or top of the zone or sometimes i would rather target 1'3 RR on props

Author's checklist

1. Check on news events coz they affect my winrate and my setups
