What is A+ setup
Your setup in its strictest form — when every checklist condition is met. It is defined from your journal: the conditions under which your trades are actually better.
How it works
BTC 1h, 12.07.2024: every checklist item on one chart — sweep, MSS on a close, retest entry, stop beyond the sweep.
Example
Lows at 56 903, a spike to 56 542 and a close back, an MSS above 57 572, a limit at 57 689 on the retest, stop 56 542, target 59 650: +1.7R. This is one example — an A+ is confirmed by a sample of your trades, not by a pretty chart.
Common mistake
Declaring A+ from memory: you remember the winners, not all of the trades.
