Yes and no.

Yes, only if your entry is the most optimized one. But, statistically, how accurate your entries are? What is the probability of having an accurate entry every time?

No, because you have to give breathing space so that the trade can develop. Not every trade moves in a parabolic way.

You will not win every trade: so, better accept it.
Also, you will not lose every trade: so, use these trades to leverage the R:R.

Your principle is right, but every time I let it breathe, it exhales like a dragon in my face.
I'll let it breath when trading HTF but M1...
It's not impossible, but it needs a strong will.

I would like to offer a brief commentary.
I believe ITB is correct when he asks, "why do you overthink and complicate things?" When you drive for years and years, do you actively think about every action? When I'm on the highway and see a car near a truck or one moving too slowly, I automatically anticipate that it will signal to overtake before it even happens.
If you overthink, it is simply because your brain has not yet fully internalized a methodology, and the process is not yet automatic, or you lack confidence in your market reading. It is correct to form hypotheses when analyzing a chart, but they remain just that—hypotheses. You must be prepared to change your view, as only fools refuse to do so.
Perhaps, in addition to technique, a crucial chapter on risk management should be a fundamental component, though now may not be the time to address it.
I did not enter immediately on the M15 demand zone because I was seeking additional confluence on the M5 timeframe. However, when price re-tested the zone, my finger on the mouse trigger reacted almost automatically. If you note the price made a sweep after an equal low in M1.
Remember: on a liquidity sweep (or order block sweep), a stop-loss (SL) of a maximum of 10 to 20 pips is sufficient. It either works, or you close at a loss—no questions, no exceptions (you are risking 10-20 pips to potentially gain 160+).
Look at the London open: did that appear to be a convincing rally or a hesitant decline? Would we define that move as a corrective pullback (correction down)? Were you entering at a discounted price area (area discount)?
I do not believe that what I have described fits perfectly within the precise method proposed by ITB, which I find superb. My intention is merely to offer a modest contribution, encouraging those who haven't already to thoroughly learn a proven methodology. This is so it can be applied decisively, without hesitation or excessive second-guessing.

{quote} The main question is: how much patience do I want? That depends on what I'm waiting for, which is influenced by my knowledge and what I need from the market. If I knew what 8-figure traders were waiting for, I would wait longer than they do.
patience is a big matter and what me helped was that i switched to weekly targets instead daily.

so for example when its tuesdays and i have a loss or there is no acceptable trade since monday i can patiently wait for wednesday or thursday and good

trading signals come to me.
trading is like dancing, don't think and just listen to the music!

{quote} stated in the post 1 pdf. i had also explained somewhere in september.
I would love to read it properly, and I’ve tried. But my native language is Spanish, and it’s hard for me to understand everything… I translate as much as I can on the forum because I really find this system very interesting. In fact, I read the post just like you did. That’s the only thing I missed. Thanks in advance, and sorry if it’s annoying. I understand that answering silly questions all the time can be boring.

Patience when waiting for the signal is mandatory.
However, patience during a drawdown is very hard to maintain and requires certain abilities. The most important ability is ensuring that this drawdown won't affect the person's life.
Would you mind sharing your future trades, It would be insightful to see how you enter and exit.
It's not impossible, but it needs a strong will.
