Trade Setup Review: AINUSDT (5m chart)

Trade Setup Review: AINUSDT (5m chart)

Date: [20-sep-2025]

1H for direction

15m for setup

5m for entry

Entry: Around 0.1540 (area near 15m OB)

Stop Loss: 0.1529 (below the OB)

Take Profit: 0.1619 (previous high)

What Happened:

- Price broke structure bullish, formed CHOCH on 15m and 5m.

- Expected price to retrace to 15m OB before continuation.

- Instead, price broke lower than SL, hitting it and then reversed upward.

- Price did NOT respect the typical OB retest.

Key Learnings:

- Not all OB retests happen cleanly; sometimes, price skips or breaks below zones temporarily (liquidity grab or stop hunt).

- This can cause premature SL hits (fakeouts).

- Always look for additional confirmation signals on lower timeframes before entry (e.g., price action, liquidity grabs, candles).

- Consider wider SL or partial entries to reduce the risk of stop hunts.

- Patience and discipline to wait for clear confirmation are vital.

What to improve next time:

- I will use micro CHOCH or liquidity confirmation on 1m or 3m before entry.

- Avoid forcing trades when price action doesn’t align with the zone perfectly.

- Keep a trading journal with screenshots and notes for each trade.

Small money wey I say make I go collect from market him collect my own instead. But nothing spoiled.

Thank for stoping by, a suggestion is highly welcome.
