1️⃣Bias & 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 I break these trades down in way more detail in my free Discord if you want to study the process, not just the screenshots🤍
