The Wick Fill Principle

One of the highest-probability trade setups comes from understanding wick fills.

  • When a candle closes above resistance, wicks from previous candles on that side often become future price targets.

  • When a candle closes below support, those lower wicks are likely to be filled by price.

Example:
On EUR/USD, 1H candle closes above 1.1050. A wick from last week reaches 1.1070. The probability is high that the price will “fill” to 1.1070 before stalling.


4. Risk, Context, and Institutional Discipline

Even perfect candle setups fail without context and risk control.

Berlioz Guild Risk Rules

  • Risk max 1–2% of account per trade.

  • Always have a defined Stop Loss (SL) — never “mental SL.”

  • Trade during liquid sessions (London open, NY open) for higher follow-through.

  • Avoid trading 15–30 minutes before high-impact news.

Why Institutions Care:
Banks and prop firms combine technical precision with strict capital preservation. A trader who can read prices and protect capital is valuable.

5. Example Walkthrough

Let’s walk through a GBP/JPY sell setup:

Step 1: On the Daily, mark resistance at 186.80.
Step 2: On the 4H, price shows multiple rejections at 186.70. Adjust zone thinner.
Step 3: On the 1H, a candle closes below 186.40 — previous wicks to 186.10 suggest a wick fill.
Step 4: On the 30m, volume increases after the London open → entry short at 186.35, SL above 186.80, TP at 186.10.

Result: Precise, clean trade without clutter.
