the most important factor will always be timing it's not what type of trade you take it's not where you enter that trade it's when you enter the trade that makes you money as Traders we are trying to time the markets which is really difficult but I found one fix that makes timing easy and it's called candle behavior
candle behavior is just how a candle moves in reaction to that previous candle throughout the life cycle of that candle so how does it move in the first half first the second half if the previous candle is a bullish or a bearish or a strong bullish candle close the whole point of candle behavior is that it makes it really easy to give timing to Market structure
I do not trade with the daily Direction I do not trade with daily bias I trade against that why is that because I'm trading a session so if the previous day closes bullish and I'm trading Asia session I'm trading in the first um half or open of that new day because the previous day closes bullish I would be expecting it to create a bottom Wick in Asia to then push bullish later on during the day
so let's go into some live trade examples and we'll just recap this previous trade why was this actually a bad trade how could we have avoided this loss well ideally you don't want to be trading against the previous hourly candle due to Candle Behavior
so we'll just go over one more example of how CLE Behavior can be used for timing Direction and entry models as we can see here the previous candle closed bullish we immedately pushing bearish creating that hourly bottom Wick
