Shared by a BacktestingMax trader on 31 Jul 2026, updated 1 Aug 2026

Don't trade a zone that has been tapped more than twice
Appearance of atleast 3 large consecutive candlesticks
Reduce lot size if zone is too large but valid
Look for a FVG, BOS, ChoCH
Set ups on the 4HTF, scale down to 1MTF for clean zones, execute on 5LTF
SL should cover at least 10-15 pips regardless of the zone size
Set and forget for now
The second tap aim a RR of 1:2
