Want to nail a solid trade setup? Here's what separates winners from the rest—combine liquidity sweep tactics to catch those retail stop hunts with a proper market structure shift for trend confirmation. Then pinpoint your entry using fair value gaps where smart money typically rebalances. The key is sticking to disciplined 1:2 risk-to-reward ratios—it's not flashy, but that's exactly what compounds gains over time.
The real edge? Patience. Most traders chase every move. The ones scaling accounts know when to sit tight and wait for the setup to come to them. That's the playbook.

To be honest, a 1:2 ratio is indeed unbeatable, but most people can't hold on until that moment.

ngl this stuff sounds good, but how many people can actually do it... most are still just itching to try.

ngl the whole "wait for setup to come to you" thing reads like a digital flaneur observing market microstructure through post-modern lens... but isn't that just another meta-narrative traders tell themselves to rationalize inaction?

To be honest, waiting really hit home for me. I used to be the kind who couldn't sit still, just looking at the candlesticks and wanting to act, only to see my account shrink in the end. Now I understand, the ones who truly make money are those who can wait; only by maintaining a 1:2 ratio can they survive longer.

A ratio of 3.2:1 is actually the optimal, while 1:2 is just beginner-level self-comfort.

Exactly right, but the problem is that too few people are executing. Most people still can't resist the urge and chase after false breakouts. I've seen too many accounts ruined because of this.

NGL, everything you said is right, but executing it is really hellishly difficult. I keep unable to resist chasing orders...
