The Art of Crypto explains why a trade idea isn't enough. You need price to actually enter a key level on a higher timeframe, then confirm upward movement on the five-minute chart. This dual confirmation, often verified through order flow, reduces false signals before you risk capital.
And when you get into the New York Hill Zone, you generally just want to look for two conditions to be present. First of all, is you have entered into some sort of higher time frame key level, or just a key level in general. Secondly, you want to see that the five-minute chart has now shown you indication that the price is moving towards the upside. Now the reason why you want this is because it's not enough to just simply come up with an idea. All right, this is a bullish order block. We are a bullish day. We have a bullish daily bias. Okay, I think this level is going to hold a support. Let me just place a limit order there and just call it a day. You don't want to do that ideally because that's just your idea. And for any trade idea to become a trade setup, you need two things to be present. First of which is that you need. The idea. But the second of all is you need evidence from the market that, hey, the market's telling you, all right, you've come into this key level and there is willingness to go towards the upside. Assuming you're bullish on the idea, this is the evidence that you need. This is why that CISD or that order flow confirmation is so important. It prevents you from getting into too many false moves.
