Drill: Wait for retest, take 3

Hidden-candle mode, no chasing.

20 min · Beginner

What you'll learn

  • Complete three retest-only trades in hidden-candle mode without chasing
  • Write a full plan with entry, stop, target, R-multiple and share size before every entry
  • Grade each rep on process so a rule-following loss counts as a pass

Key takeaways

  • The drill trains patience: retest entries only, three trades, no exceptions.
  • Write entry, stop, target, R-multiple and share size before every trade.
  • A rule-following loss is a pass, and a chased win is a fail.
  • Letting a breakout go without a retest is the drill working.

Glossary

  • Hidden-candle mode — A Simulation Lab setting that hides future candles so you must decide in real time.
  • Chase — Entering after the move has already happened, typically on the breakout bar, with a far stop and poor R-multiple.
  • Drill reset — Starting a drill's trade count over after breaking a rule, so only clean reps count.
