Most traders focus on candles. Professionals focus on structure.
Here’s a simple framework:
1. Start with higher time frame bias If the higher time frame is making higher highs and higher lows, bias is bullish. If it’s making lower highs and lower lows, bias is bearish. Never trade against clear structure.
2. Identify key levels Mark strong support, resistance, order blocks, and liquidity zones. Price reacts to levels, not emotions.
3. Wait for confirmation Look for break of structure (BOS) or change of character near your level. Don’t enter just because a candle looks strong.
4. Enter on pullbacks, not breakouts In an uptrend, wait for a pullback to support before longing. In a downtrend, wait for a pullback to resistance before shorting.
5. Manage risk before entry Know where you’re wrong. Set invalidation first, profit target second.
Long when structure is bullish and price confirms at support. Short when structure is bearish and price confirms at resistance.
Bias + Level + Confirmation + Risk control. Without all four, it’s guessing.
$ZRO is just trading below major resistance zone watch closely as bears may step in around current levels a final push toward 2.80 is possible if bullish momentum continues. I am also watching $STG $RIVER
$UNI printed GOD candle most of the times these kind of pumps are followed by sudden downside move but still if bullish momentum continues we have a resistance around 4.80 to be tested 🤝✈️
If you’re losing most of the time, even when candles look clearly bullish or bearish, and every long dumps while every short pumps, you’re likely missing key structure.
You may be ignoring:
Order blocks
Liquidity wicks
Support and resistance levels
Break of structure (BOS)
Change of character
Higher time frame bias
Candles alone are not enough. Without structure and context, entries become random. Price moves between liquidity and key levels, not based on emotions or single candles.
