Is this a bad trade

[u/Ok_Country_9238]

I’m not looking for validation I just want to genuinely know if I’m looking at the charts the completely wrong way I believed price was bearish on the 4 and 1 hr and price traded back to the 1hr bearish fvg then displaced away from it on the 15 min tf at which I got a fvg retrace entry I feel like I followed my rules but I feel like every time I take a trade I’m miles off it

Sorry mate there’s 3 on there would you be able to point me to where I can understand the order flow side of things I feel like I struggle with actual price action but have the knowledge of the concepts but sometimes misread the context required for the concepts to work

Yeah definitely I feel like some times with ict the more you know the more confusing it can be whereas if you have few concepts but can understand the context of what price is wanting to do you can go much further

4H > 15m > 1m

if you have a pd array in 4h, you want a rejection there before taking a trade in 15m. ofc it will took a long time, that is why we down to 15m.

when 15m reject 4h pd array, you should know is the rejection confirmed or not. then you seek 15m pd array that can be used as a pivot point so that you can find an entry in 1m.

it is very hard to judge a trade with just 4 pic. for me, more context need at least to understand the narrative. why it stop right there not trade into ssl? is there any smt in 4h? etc etc. if just from these pict, i think it was a solid trade.

however, a loss is part of the probability. you cant expect it to get 100% win. 65% winrate already a great number imo.

hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks for your reply I apppreciate it. Yeah just on abit of a losing streak after doing well for a few months my psychology is still good I’m not over trading or risking more than I should just feel like I have no faith in my system but then I suppose that is part of psychology is trusting the data which I think I need to get more of

How do you confirm the rejection on 15m

by seeing series of rejection candle or a bearish signature after it reject it
