REASON I DONT LIKE SL ENTRY CONCEPT
Updated
Trade Analysis on Higher Time Frames and Entry Execution:
Starting from a higher time frame, we identified a significant order block, indicating a potential area for price reaction. Moving down to the 15-minute time frame, we observed that price was struggling to break its recent high, signaling potential resistance at that level. After the high was eventually broken, we held back, waiting for either a retracement or for price to fill any imbalances created in the process.
Once these conditions were met, I identified a strong entry signal with a bullish engulfing candle, complemented by a break of recent highs on a smaller time frame. Confident in the setup, I entered the trade. Price quickly moved towards my take profit, so I decided to secure the trade by moving my stop-loss (SL) to the entry point.
However, as often happens, price pulled back, hitting my SL at entry before moving back in my favor to hit the original take profit (TP) target.
This example shows the drawbacks of using trailing stops or moving SL to entry, particularly in scenarios where price is volatile or experiences quick pullbacks. For me, setting a predefined SL and TP without adjustments tends to yield the best results, reducing the risk of being stopped out prematurely in strong setups.
