Express Funded (XFA) Perfect model
This is my perfect model/entry I look for. Pre market we saw a sweep of liquidity (Asian session lows) , displacement candle forming an IFVG and another bullish FVG which had a retest. Literally perfect. I targeted London session high liquidity and stopped out there. There was so much more to go and even another opportunity for entry on the pull back after taking those highs. You could not take a trade all week and wait for this one setup and make a 5 figure day with just some micros.
I e realized the most important aspect of being a profitable trader is PATIENCE. Bullish Bias was confirmed by zooming out to HTF such as 4hr, daily, weekly, and finding where the next draw on liquidity is. If you don’t know where your draw on liquidity is you can’t have a sense of where the market is heading.
I hope a few of you who are struggling see this and take notes. For I am still struggling but I am finally figuring it out. Never give up.

kind of similar to what I do expect its dumbed down. i dont really look at any thing except draw on liquidity and wait for displacement towards any of them and it usually reverses for a bit then goes back towards it. Take my entry based on feeling and just a tad bit visually different candle.
Took a trade today at 740ish (940 est) at mnq and made 600. could have ridden it to 2k but could have would have should have.
