Smart Money Concepts market structure analysis + Custom Fibonacci Retracement Tool (Golden Zone), this strategy has been proven to work when paired with the right market structure context. Retracement is where most traders fall for FOMO (early entry or panic entry) because of the fear for being late for the move, the Fibonacci Retracement tool will solve exactly that bad habit, by giving you a solid entry zone for you trading

NOTE: This strategy requires comprehensive knowledge and exposure to Smart Money Concepts in order to be effective consistently

Entry rules

  1. Price as at a Key Supply or Demand Zone OR an External FVG (1 hour fvg for 15 min entry OR 15 min fvg for 5 min entry)
  2. Price has swept liquidity
  3. Price has made an imbalance after grabing liquidity, and made a ChOCh
  4. Draw the Fib Retracement Tool from the bottom of the sweep candle, to the top of the imbalanced move (wait for a small pullback to confirm swing high)
  5. Enter at the Golden Zone of the Fib Retracement (personally i like to enter at the green level)

Invalidation

  1. If price pierced through the entire zone in big volumes, it is a flip zone, Trend will get liquidity at that zone and continue the trend later on (DO NOT LOOK FOR REVERSAL)
  2. if the External FVG has been inversed, consider it as an iFVG and look to enter a reversal

Stop loss and take profit

  1. Stoploss at the bottom of the sweep candle or below it
  2. Take Profit to your desire^^

Author's checklist

  1. Price at Zone? or Ext Fvg?
  2. Price swept liquidity?
  3. Price made an imbalance that caused a ChOCh?
  4. Price at the Golden Zone?
