š SMC Continuation Setup Explained
A common mistake traders make is entering immediately after a Break of Structure (BOS). In Smart Money Concepts (SMC), BOS is only the beginningānot the entry signal.
Step 1: Wait for a valid BOS in the direction of the trend. This confirms that buyers or sellers are still in control.
Step 2: Allow price to retrace into a High-Probability Order Block (OB) or Fair Value Gap (FVG). These areas often attract institutional order flow.
Step 3: As long as the Protected Swing remains intact, the trend is still valid. Wait for lower-timeframe confirmation (such as a Market Structure Shift or your entry model) before taking the trade.
Remember:
An Order Block or FVG is a potential reaction zoneānot an automatic entry. Confirmation is what turns a setup into a high-probability trade. š
