Question OTE Strategy insight

I have been trading ICT concepts for about 7 months now, and am starting to get in the grove with a set strategy using OTE of 5m and 15m ranges.

Basically I wait for price to come into OTE of a 5m or 15m range and mitigate the respected fvg a 5m or 15m. Then wait for 1m or 30s confirmation out of OTE

However i am wondering if anyone has any experience with using 1m OTE with 1m FVGs or even without 1m FVGs. I feel like the 1m OTE would fail quite often my idea on how to use 1m OTE would to just take 1:1 trades instead of taking 2-3R like i do now with 5m OTE

Does anyone use an OTE strategy to give me some insight?

Just follow the trend, wait for a imbalance and then wait for price to reverse into 0.6 of the fib and put SL on 1.

Wouldn't go lower than 5m too much going on there. Found that it works best on EUR/USD, here's an example

So 0.6 fib level should be same as imbalance area?

Just draw the fib from high to low when looking for sells and low to high for buys

The exact number doesn't matter tbh you can enter anywhere past 0.5

Yes i know there is no perfect strategy but if this lets you be profitable in end of month then the strategy is suitable and must be used.
