There was a time when I couldn’t escape those dreaded liquidation emails.
My trades would start with confidence and end with my account balance in red.
The problem? I was jumping into trades without truly understanding where the market was telling me to enter. I had charts, indicators, and optimism — but no precise entry plan.
Everything changed when I learned one powerful concept: Trend Break + Retest Rejection 🔑
1️⃣ Spot the Trend
First, identify the market direction:
📈 Uptrend → Higher highs & higher lows.
📉 Downtrend → Lower highs & lower lows.
I once spotted a strong uptrend — candles climbing steadily, classic higher highs.
2️⃣ Wait for the Break
When the price breaks the trendline:
Don’t FOMO.
The break only signals potential change, not confirmation.
3️⃣ Be Patient for the Retest ⏳
After a break, price often comes back to retest the broken trendline or a support/resistance zone.
This is where the market decides its next move.
4️⃣ Watch for Rejection 🚫
Here’s the golden clue:
Look for a wick rejection at the retest zone.
Strong wick followed by a decisive candle in the opposite direction = market confirmation.
Example: Price retested my broken uptrend line, formed a long upper wick, then printed a big bearish candle — my green light to short.
5️⃣ Enter Smart & Manage Risk 🎯
Stop-loss → Above the wick (for shorts) or below (for longs).
Take-profits → Split into 2–3 targets to lock in gains progressively.
📊 The Results
Once I applied this:
✅ No more surprise liquidations.
✅ Risk fully under control.
✅ Consistent, repeatable profits.
I stopped fighting the market. I let the market show me the trade.
💡 Key Takeaway
The best entries aren’t right after the break — they’re at the rejection after the retest.
Patience turns noise into opportunity.
Master this, and liquidation will be a thing of the past.
