Entry Models Overview

Entry models are specific techniques for timing your entry after identifying a valid setup. The right model maximizes R:R while minimizing stop-out risk.

Three Core Models

1. Risk Entry (Aggressive)

• Enter immediately at zone (limit order)
• No candle confirmation needed
• Best R:R (1:3 to 1:5)
• Lower win rate (~45-55%)
• Use with 5+ confluences

2. Confirmation Entry (Standard)

• Wait for rejection/engulfing candle at zone
• Enter after candle close
• Good R:R (1:2 to 1:3)
• Higher win rate (~55-65%)
• Use with 3-4 confluences

3. Break-Retest Entry (Conservative)

• Wait for LTF structure shift (CHOCH)
• Enter on retest of broken structure
• Moderate R:R (1:1.5 to 1:2.5)
• Highest win rate (~60-75%)
• Use for counter-trend or uncertain setups
