What is Entry model
A chain of steps from idea to order: zone → sweep → MSS → entry from the FVG → stop beyond the sweep → target. The rules are mechanical, so they can be tested on history.
How it works
The whole model chain on one BTC 15m chart.
Example
Unfiltered and mechanical, the "sweep + MSS + FVG retest" model over 88 trades: 25 targets (28%), total −13.3R. The pretty examples come from the minority of trades.
Common mistake
Judging a model by three pretty examples: only a sample shows whether it has an edge.
