Some of the confirmation/CISD formations you may see when price taps into a liquidity pool that confirms your bias:
Key takeaway:
Key Levels = Constant.
This means a key level must always be present before any of these confirmations can form and be Valid.
Price will always be targeting a structural DOL, so your bias still has to be correct first.
From there:
Price feeds into a counter-acting POI → forms a CISD pattern → breaks below/above the source candle of the confirmation → and that gives you your valid entry + invalidation.
Another important note:
A Key Level is essentially a liquidity pool.
When many of you hear “liquidity pool,” you immediately think of only inducements, traps, equal highs/lows etc.
But:
An old high/low is a liquidity pool.
A Fair Value Gap is a liquidity pool.
An Order Block is a liquidity pool.
Essentially, anything price needs to feed into before delivering is a liquidity pool.
That’s why the Key Level comes first.
KL → Confirmation/CISD → Entry → Target.

So much blue on your screen, but your life still looks the same?
If you’re serious about turning trading profits into an actual better life, don’t scroll past this. Read till the end.
I’ve met a lot of traders with thousands of dollars in winning screenshots, payout proofs and profit updates all over social media.
But when I look at their actual lives, very little reflects the kind of money they claim to be making.
And that’s where the problem starts.
That should bother you, because.
You didn’t start trading, building a business or learning a high-income skill just so people online could think you’re successful.
You most definitely started because you wanted a better life for YOURSELF.
So how do you actually start elevating your life?
Because many people have this exact question.
➣ First, be sincere with yourself. Stop measuring your progress against somebody else’s highlight reel.
➣ Appreciate your small wins and build from them. You don’t need to go from making $1,000 to buying a G-Wagon overnight. Scale progressively.
➣ Remove envy. Someone else buying a car, house or hitting a bigger milestone doesn’t reduce what is available for you. Put that energy back into becoming better at your craft.
➣ And most importantly, learn to take money out of the screen.
Use your profits to improve your environment. Build savings. Buy assets. Start another business. Support your family. Travel. Invest in yourself. Pay for something you once couldn’t afford.
Give your hard work physical evidence.
Because profit you never withdraw, save, invest or use to improve your life can disappear just as quickly as it appeared.
Profit not taken is an illusion‼️
You can’t have 300 screenshots of blue trades while your real life remains exactly where it was three years ago.
At some point, the blues need to become something real.
LOCK IN,
It’s time for a change.
Another $23,000 withdrawal, 14 days after my last withdrawal. 🦅
While everyone has been complaining about how terrible the market has been lately, I’ve still been consistently pulling money out of it.
I didn’t sit around waiting for the market to get better.
I adapted.
And one of the biggest changes I made was the pairs I trade.
I stopped forcing my usual watchlist and started actively looking for pairs with better volume, liquidity and price action.
So if you’ve been struggling with the current market conditions, here’s a practical guide you can use to start picking better pairs too. 🧵👇🏽
✰ 1. Start with liquidity and participation.
I want to know:
Is there enough activity in this market?
Is there enough liquidity?
Is price actually moving?
A pair can be volatile and still give you horrible trading conditions.
So I’m not simply looking for movement.
I’m looking for:
Liquidity + participation + clean price action.
✰ 2. Compare the pairs on your radar.
Don’t look at each pair in isolation.
If I have EURUSD, GBPUSD and USDJPY on my radar, I compare them.
Which one is moving better?
Which has the cleanest structure?
Which is showing stronger displacement?
Which is respecting key levels?
Which is giving better follow-through?
I’m not trying to trade everything.
I’m trying to find the best setup available.
This is probably one of the reasons I took only 8 trades in August, even though I did far more analysis.
More analysis doesn’t mean more trades.
It means more opportunities to be selective.
✰ 3. Consider WHEN the pair moves.
This is important.
A pair might have excellent liquidity overall but still be a poor choice during your trading window.
Ask yourself:
“Is this pair actually active during the time I trade?”
If the answer is no, you’re potentially setting yourself up for slow movement, chop and poor follow-through.
When building my watchlist, I pay close attention to how each market behaves during my trading sessions (London + New York).
I want to know where the real movement is happening when I’m actually available to trade.
✰ 4. Don’t mistake volatility for quality.
A market moving aggressively doesn’t automatically make it a good market to trade.
Huge candles.
Long wicks.
Random expansions.
No follow-through.
That can be just as problematic as a dead market.
I want movement my strategy can actually exploit and one of the most important things I look for is clear market structure.
If I can’t clearly understand what price is doing, I don’t care how much the pair is moving.
✰ 5. Stop treating your watchlist like a fixed list.
I used to be very strict with mine.
If a pair wasn’t on my watchlist, I simply wasn’t trading it.
But market conditions change and when they do, your watchlist should be able to change with them.
Trade the conditions, not your attachment to the pair.
✰ Simply put: build your watchlist around CURRENT conditions.
Before adding a pair to your watchlist, ask:
→ What’s moving?
→ What’s liquid?
→ What’s clean?
→ What’s respecting structure?
→ What’s active during my trading session?
→ What’s giving me my A+ setups?
When the market changes, don’t immediately assume your strategy has stopped working.
Sometimes your strategy is fine.
Your pair selection is the problem.
You can have a profitable strategy and still struggle if you keep applying it to poor conditions.
The market changes so your selection process should change with it.
This adjustment won’t magically make you profitable but it can stop you from forcing trades on pairs that simply aren’t giving your strategy what it needs.
Remember to apply, not just bookmark.

The market doesn’t reward the smartest trader. It rewards the most disciplined one. Protect your capital, follow your plan, and let consistency do the heavy lifting. 🥂
A good setup is better than constant action. The trades you skip are often just as important as the ones you take.
Don’t measure your progress by today’s profit or loss. Measure it by how well you followed your trading plan. The money will follow.
Your biggest edge isn’t your strategy it’s your ability to stay patient when there’s nothing to do.
Stop trying to predict every move. Wait for confirmation, manage your risk, and let probability work in your favor.

Trading is a very personal journey.‼️
You can sit in the same class with someone, learn the exact same strategy, watch the same charts and still end up with completely different results.
That alone should tell you something important: information is not enough.
This is an industry where it’s stated constantly that 99% of traders fail. Whether the exact number is 99% or not, the message behind it is very real. Trading is difficult, and very few people survive the journey long enough to actually become consistently good at it.
Because there is a part of trading nobody can teach you out of.
The formative years.
The period where you lose, doubt yourself, make stupid decisions, question everything you know, rebuild your confidence and gradually understand yourself better as a trader.
Those years will expose your impatience, your lack of discipline, your emotions, your greed, your fear and every bad habit you thought you had under control.
And strangely, that is also the period that builds you.
Every trader you admire today had to go through some version of it. Nobody simply received good information and became successful immediately.
Information can show you the way.
It can shorten your learning curve and help you avoid certain mistakes.
But it cannot live the journey for you.
At some point, you have to go through the experiences that shape you into the trader capable of using that information properly.
Anyone who genuinely wants to make it in this industry has to come to terms with that reality.
July to August were truly the worst months of my trading journey.
I found myself doubting things I normally wouldn’t even question.
Taking trades out of impulse.
Second-guessing good setups.
Trying to force opportunities that weren’t there.
And I lost a whole lot of money doing that.
It was one of those periods where I had to look at myself and realize that sometimes, even after years of experience, you can still lose your way for a moment.
Anyways, there’s usually not much to say about the bad chapters while you’re still inside them.
What matters in every story is how the ending is rewritten.
And fortunately, I still have the pen.
