Reclaim + retest from above.
8 min · Intermediate
What you'll learn
- Structure a long entry on a VWAP retest after a confirmed reclaim
- Place the stop at a level that proves the reclaim wrong
- Size the position to 1% risk and confirm the trade offers at least 2R
Key takeaways
- The best VWAP long is the retest after a confirmed reclaim, not the reclaim candle.
- Lighter volume on the pullback and a strong close off VWAP confirm the hold.
- The stop goes below the retest low and below VWAP, because a close under VWAP means the idea is wrong.
- Size to 1% risk and take the trade only if the next level offers at least 2R.
Glossary
- Retest — A pullback to a level price just broke through, used to confirm the level now holds from the other side.
