Mark the ideal entry, then reveal.

14 min · Intermediate

What you'll learn

  • Mark the ideal continuation entry, stop and target before the chart is revealed.
  • Combine the pullback test, HL/LH framework and momentum confirmation into one decision.
  • Recognize cases where the correct choice is to pass.

Key takeaways

  • The ideal entry is the first close where all the evidence is present, not the lowest price.
  • Structure, pullback quality, maturity, trigger and R must all line up.
  • Broken structure and mature, decaying trends are passes.
  • A weak first trigger can be followed by a better one; patience pays.
  • Grading your entry against the ideal one builds real-time judgment.

Glossary

  • Ideal entry — The first price at which every part of the setup is confirmed, used as a benchmark in replays.
  • Trigger candle — The candle whose close confirms the entry signal.
  • Trend maturity — How far along a trend is, judged by the number of pullbacks and the size of recent legs.
