NQ short I took today using a simple idea:
liquidity sweep -&gt; HTF confirmation -&gt; LTF FVG entry

+$433 on each of my 5 @Tradeify accounts from this one move :))

Here’s the breakdown🧵

1️⃣Bias &amp; key level

Coming into the session my bias was short on NQ.

My main level was the pre-market high - I wanted to see price run that high, take liquidity, and then fail.

No short for me until we swept that level first

2️⃣15m confirmation

Once we swept pre-market high, I waited for the 15m candle to:
- close back below the previous candle’s high
- close back below the pre-market high level

That close was my signal that the sweep was likely a fakeout + reversal, not a breakout

3️⃣Dropping to 3m for entry

After the 15m confirmed the rejection, I switched to the 3m and watched how price traded away from that level.

Price created a IFVG on the drop, then started to trade back up into it

4️⃣My entry

I waited for price to retrace into the 3m ifvg and then:
- Entered short on the retest of that FVG
- Placed my stop above the most recent lower high (the swing after the sweep - not the extreme high itself, which was too wide for me)
- Target was a quick 2R move lower

5️⃣Result

Price respected the level, rejected the FVG, and sold off cleanly.

The 2R target was hit, and I made $433 per account on 5 accounts.

Nothing crazy, just a structured trade that followed my rules and got out quickly!!

6️⃣Key takeaway

The setup isn’t magic:
- HTF bias
- Liquidity sweep
- Candle confirmation
- LTF FVG entry with tight invalidation
