Clearly define your timeframe
If you are scalping, wait for the candle close on 1m, 5m, or 15m before confirming an entry.
If you are day trading, check the candle closes on 1H and 4H.
If you are swing trading, pay attention to the daily or weekly close.
2. Avoid entering breakouts before the candle closes
A level may seem broken, but if the candle does not close above or below, it is just a trap.
3. Control emotion and impatience
Do not let the fear of "missing the opportunity" make you act prematurely.
Remember that the market always provides more opportunities.
4. Review candles of higher timeframes
Before entering a trade on 5m, check what is happening on 1H.
Before trading on 1H, review the daily chart.
5. Practice with discipline
You can train yourself by observing how candles change before closing.
Do backtesting to see how many times you could have avoided a bad entry by waiting for the close.
If you follow this rule, your trading will be more precise, and you will reduce unnecessary losses. Patience and discipline are key!
