Waiting for confirmation

Letting price come to your level and show a reaction before entering, instead of predicting it.

Real example: EUR/USD, 15-minute chart, 2011-11-07. Pattern detected automatically using only the candles before the decision point; on the right, what happened next.

Why it works

Patient entries have better prices, tighter stops and higher win rates. Most losses come from entering too early.

How to use it

Mark your zone, set an alert and wait for a confirmation candle (rejection, engulfing, CHoCH) inside it before you enter.

The typical mistake

Entering at the top of the impulse because waiting for the pullback “feels like missing out”.
