2. Pattern Identification

3. Signal Confirmation

• Profit target: 1:2 risk-reward ratio;

• Exit conditions: If a bear signal bar appeared the next day, exit at 1 tick below the bear bar; otherwise, continue holding.

III. Practical Summary and Insights

• Importance of background analysis: Consecutive strong bull bars are a clear signal of trend continuation. Even when a pullback occurs, as long as the bear bars do not show significant suppression, the trend remains intact.

• Importance of price patterns: In strong trend conditions, H2 signals are often quality entry points. Precise entry positioning (1 tick above the signal bar) can effectively avoid false breakouts.

• Signal bar confirmation: A quality signal bar is the key to a successful trade. You must strictly execute the principle of entering at 1 tick above the signal bar.

• Sector and stock selection method:

• Monitor the overall trend of each sector and select the strongest rising sectors;

• Choose stocks with the best performance within the sector;

• Conduct detailed price action analysis on individual stocks to determine the best entry pattern.

Simplified approach: Focus on sectors that showed strong performance the previous day, as this usually means active capital flow and more opportunities.

Through these clear steps and execution discipline, traders can effectively improve their win rate and achieve consistent profitability.
