This is an example of a failed setup. That's why I advocate for clean bases where the candle bodies are squared up as opposed to a wicky base as shown in circles. Plus, far too many candles in the base. Ideally you only want maximum 2-3 before price takes off. This indicates to you as a trader that someone with huge cajones made that price move from where it was standing still.

Be cautious of setups that have multiple zones within vicinity of one another. You don't know if price will test the first or the second zone. IE in this example:

This is a risky entry. I've shown it anyway and would have likely only risked 0.5% as opposed to my usual 1% per trade.

Here's why I don't like it:

1. The bottom zone has a wicky base. Although its clean meaning only 1 bullish bar, it's wicky and I usually avoid candles that have longer wicks than their bodies.
2. The upper zone would have been preferred if it did not have so much consolidation near its base. I've circled it.

As you see it was a risky trade. Price hit the TP and swung right back up.

This one is a little harder to spot. But fits within our criteria. 8.5:1 reward! Remember, the point isn't to always win. It's to have a proper r:r so that even with losers (which is inevitable) you'll still be green. Stay thirsty my friends. Let's make money together.

Strategy works on Crypto as well. Check out BTCUSD on 30min tf below. The accuracy of the entry should indicate to you that this works, a 9.7:1 risk to reward trade here. This trade alone would pass a funded challenge.

Good try, however, it is not a valid zone. Price needs to run away in a clear fashion. Check my screenshots and how
price moves away from clustered price.

there needs to be space that the run opens up into moving away from the consolidation

this 1m gbp/jpy was spoted lately , already 1:1 so a cover make sense. it's not a perfect entry because I was late putting pending stop

with correct early entry would been 1:2 risk:reward

Still waiting to trigger, but I think is too late and should be avoided
