The trades you should be most cautious about might not be the ones where you lose right after entering, but the ones where the price barely moves after three candlesticks. #PriceAction On the daily chart, in an uptrend, a bullish signal candlestick appears after a pullback to support. When the price breaks the high and you enter, you expect the bulls to follow through quickly. Instead, you get a series of small-bodied candles with mixed wicks, and the price stays stuck around the entry zone. This doesn’t mean the long position is immediately invalid, but it does indicate that the anticipated buying pressure hasn’t shown up yet. Rushing to add to the position is a mistake, and blindly holding until the stop-loss is hit might not be the best approach either. Differentiate between two scenarios: - If the pullback holds above the low of the signal candlestick and a strong bullish candle closes at a high and breaks above the consolidation range, you can continue to monitor for a trend recovery. - If repeated attempts to push higher fail, forming lower highs, and the price eventually breaks below the consolidation range, it’s time to reassess. If resistance is too close ahead, waiting for confirmation might worsen the risk-reward ratio, so it’s better to let it go. After entering a trade, don’t just watch whether the price hits your stop-loss—pay attention to whether the market is fulfilling the logic behind your entry. #PriceAction #Trading #AlBrooks #CandlestickAnalysis #TrendTrading #TechnicalAnalysis #ActiveTrading #RiskManagement
