One thing many traders don’t really understand is that market structure is what truly moves price.
Most people end up doubting their strategy not because it’s bad, but because they’re trading against the swing structure. You can have the best entry model or the cleanest setup, but if your bias isn’t aligned with the higher-timeframe structure, your edge is almost zero.
This week’s trades are a good example:
GBPJPY
•Liquidity sweep
•Engineered liquidity
•Valid POI
•Aligned with higher-timeframe structure
GBPCHF
•Same exact approach
•Same structure logic
•Same execution rules
Structure first.
Then liquidity.
Then entries.
When those are aligned, trading becomes simple and consistent.
These are some few things I learned these few times I was away
1. Sticking to the 1:1:1 rule: One strategy, one Timeframe and one pair improved my way of trading
2. I started to believe in my strategy and don't let others opinions to detect my approach
3. Studying helps alot.
