What is Confluence
Several independent reasons behind one trade: higher-timeframe direction, session, liquidity, a zone. Coincidences alone give no edge — check them in your journal.
How it works
Example
A long: 4h is rising, London open, equal lows swept, a return into the FVG — four factors. Two of them may be the same thing counted twice.
Common mistake
Adding factors until you find a reason to enter.
