  • No naked-chart trade without all three: a level that matters, a signal candle at it, and context on your side.
  • Two or three levels with real touches, sharp reactions and a fresh test — mark those, delete the rest.
  • Trade a pin only when the wick is ≥ 2× the body, it rejects a level that matters, it closes back inside, and it fires with the trend.
  • Inside bar = a coil: trade the close beyond the mother bar with the trend. Outside bar at a level = expansion: fade the sweep, trade the reclaim.
  • A reversal signal — engulfing, star, or doji — only counts at a level that matters, reversing into a real move; the same shape in open space is noise.
  • Wait for a strong close beyond the level, let it flip and retest, then enter on a signal candle at the retest with your stop just beyond it.
  • A trap is a false break that reclaims: poke beyond the level, weak conviction, then a close back inside. Fade the reclaim, stop just past the false-break extreme — but never fade a break that holds.
  • In a range, trade only the edges — buy support, sell resistance — and only on a rejection signal there; the middle is no-man's-land. Stop just beyond the range, and stop fading once an edge breaks.
  • Trade with the trend: buy the dip / sell the rally where the pullback lands on structure — a higher low (up) or lower high (down) — and a signal ends it. Stop beyond the swing, target the prior extreme; if the pullback closes through structure, it's a reversal — stand aside.
