Gold IFVG + liq sweep strat + CoC

If price reacts from a zone other than the midpoint, (like top of the range here) you should buy at the same level.

Otherwise, wait for usual midpoint

Same

Example setu

Example of how you can use breakouts to identify change of char

Do you take a trade without any of the 3 reqs?

No. Low quality setup otherwise, and found many that failed when one was missing (eg change of character for example)

You watch charts all day, can be patient to wait for the A+ setups, as this only SUPPLEMENTS the breakout + crt + orb + opening strats

Can a IVFG be established based on the candle that caused the liquidity sweep, like so?

NO

In this case it is not valid

Note - the lower stops was ok in this scenario too as disproportionately lower than the sweep candle

You enter this 5m ivfg short at the retest of the bottom line as the previous candle shows it was respecting that level.

Where do you put your stop loss?

2 options here, at the wicks above the green trendline (for added safety)

Or at top of sweep. TP hit for both levels, however seemed to gravitate to the sweep stops tp

Seeing quite alot of resistance to the 5m ivfg liq sweep CoC short play, with price even retesting the ifvg and then closing above the green resistance line.

ALSO, price was doing this while NQ was struggling, gold almost looked decoupled, do you cut?

No, NQ weakness was bound to bring it down eventually, and any discrepancy between the two for the short term is noise.

No selling, let the full trade play out

If you see this PA on 15m (even when NQ struggling), do you cut your short, or even go long?

NO and NO.

Reminder that gold structures other than your 5m ivfg sweep mean NOTHING
