My top simple confluence is when the market makes a clear fake market structure shift, especially if there are equal highs just above the main price, and then the structure shifts downward. That’s the setup I like most if I give you a simple answer. As for trading time, my favorite window is 8:30 to 10:30 NY time.

Also consider the context of the trade and the order flow of course.
Example:
Order flow is bullish
Price is in an accumulation phase
Price breaks high and gives everybody the shift they where waiting for
Price reverses and nothing stops it until it makes a LL
Price then pumps.
The lower low that comes after people's market structure shift is usually the last low before the big move up.

(I don't consider these MSS or anything, it's just how people see and call it).
It's easy to avoid consolidation technically, but requires a mentality similar to a fortress.
In the attached photos here:
If your goal is the upper line, NO FUCKING MATTER what, until the green lines below are taken out, you DON'T long, doesn't matter what. If there is a MSS to upside, you do nothing, if it suddenly goes up, you do nothing, if every indicator tells you to buy, you do nothing, if news is bullish, you do nothing, if everyone on twitter is buying to target the high, you still do nothing.
Then if the highs are not reached and price started to come down suddenly to the below of one of the green lines, whatever on the planet earth tells you to sell, you only buy. If there is a bearish MSS, you still buy, if it suddenly goes down to the below of the green lines you still buy, if every indicator tells you to sell, you still buy.
Think about it. That will fix your consolidation problem.
@ty_kartik@dreammer121 Right direction & right level are nothing but a myth.
You can have the wrong direction and the wrong level, but still make money.
Focus on making the entries as good as possible.
When wrong, my trade goes to at least 2RR before coming back to my SL since my entries are precise.

It is your key to mastering reversals.

"My system/Model was there, I should have trusted it but I got scared"
Your system was not there. A system is a full evolved system/model of trading when it even tells you what to do when you're not sure or scared.
- Not being scared is part of the system.
- Having the balls to click buy or sell, that’s part of the system.
- Being confident enough to take the trade and live with the outcome, that's the system.
That’s not some side thing. That is the system.
If those things aren’t there, then there is no system. Not yet.
Looking at candles, drawing fibs, having some clean model, yeah, that’s nice. But that’s maybe 10% of it.
The rest? It’s you.
Remember the system is:
- Seeing your setup and pulling the trigger without hesitation
- Placing your stop and not moving it because you're scared
- Taking a loss without spiraling
- Not chasing price like a junkie when you get left behind
- Showing up and executing even when the market humbles you.
You've seen it, back-testing gets too much praise. Your plans might look perfect looking back, but you’ll mess up when trading live. So stop listening to those Scam Jordans of trading who say "JUST BACKTEST MORE BROOO."
You don’t need more back-testing, you need more raw experience and more execution to test the system live just as much as you've back-tested:
- Backtesting builds logic.
- Forward-testing builds trust.
- Without both, you’ve got nothing.
If you’ve got a model, but you freeze, hesitate, fomo, get shaken out, overthink, it’s not a system yet.
It’s just lines on a screen. Don't call it a system yet.
The system becomes real the moment you stop flinching.
Until then, it’s just raw data on the history of the chart.
NO TECHNICAL EDGE will ever teach you how to hold a trade for a week. Even if they show you exactly how to do it, you'll still TP 50% at the nearest high and then close everything at max 3R. (I know you do this consistently, don't show me one damn screenshot of a trade that you've held longer, especially if the size is small.
Can you hold a trade if you're trading a really huge amount of money and not be scared of coming back to breakeven and losing everything one more time? NO, YOU CAN't.
You'll crack under the pressure long before it moves. Most people bail at 2R, not because it’s logical, but because they’re terrified of giving back profits. And why? Because they’re overleveraged and too scared to lose what they don’t even own yet.
Every model I’ve seen is obsessed with TP, TP, TP, as if hitting targets magically makes you disciplined.
I don’t even use pre-set take-profit orders.
You want to build that bulletproof mindset? Lose thousands of times without blowing up your account in two stupid trades. That’s how you learn patience. There’s no shortcut, no hack. It’s raw, painful experience. Period.
And let me tell you this: people think I hold a 1-minute entry for a week because I’ve got some "technical level" in mind. Nope. I hold it because I believe it’s going higher (lmao). That’s it. And if it doesn’t? I lose profits, but guess what? I accepted that risk the moment I hit buy. Stop fantasizing about perfection and start accepting reality. That’s how you win.
If DOL is to the upside:
- You see an MSS to the upside
- then there is a lower low
What do you do?
Is it possible to lose? Yes!
But will you take the opportunity?
You tell me...
