- H4: New OB forming at 1.0850 (small displacement)
- Price at 1.0890 (premium zone)
The Trade
Entered at 1.0850 (OB) during London KZ. However, the displacement was weak (only 25 pips vs 50+ average) and no FVG was present.
| Parameter | Value |
|-----------|-------|
| Entry | 1.0850 |
| Stop Loss | 1.0825 |
| TP1 | 1.0900 |
| R:R | 1:2.0 |
Result

- CPI release at 08:30 EST (high-impact news)
The Trade
Entered at 1.0885 during NY KZ, ignoring the news proximity rule.
| Parameter | Value |
|-----------|-------|
| Entry | 1.0885 |
| Stop Loss | 1.0860 |
| TP1 | 1.0930 |
Result
- CPI came in hot → USD strengthened → EUR/USD dropped
- Stopped out at 1.0860 (-25 pips) ❌
- Why it failed: Violated checklist Step 10 (news check). Should NOT have entered within 30 minutes of CPI.
- Thursday result: -25 pips
Friday, September 12 — WIN ✅

Weekly Summary
| Day | Result | Pips | Key Lesson |
|-----|--------|------|------------|
| Monday | WIN ✅ | +100 | Perfect setup: OB+FVG+discount+London KZ |
| Tuesday | LOSS ❌ | -25 | Weak displacement, no FVG, premium zone |
| Wednesday | WIN ✅ | +90 | Strong OB+FVG, discount zone, M15 confirmation |
| Thursday | LOSS ❌ | -25 | Violated news check rule (CPI) |
| Friday | WIN ✅ | +82 | Strong OB+FVG, patience paid off |
| Total | 3W/2L | +222 | 60% win rate |
What Worked
- ✅ Entering during London Kill Zone (3/3 wins during London KZ)
- ✅ OB + FVG confluence entries (all 3 wins had confluence)
- ✅ Discount zone entries (all 3 wins were below 50% equilibrium)
- ✅ M15 confirmation candle before entry
What Failed
- ❌ Entering without FVG (Tuesday loss)
- ❌ Entering near high-impact news (Thursday loss — CPI)
- ❌ Weak displacement OB (Tuesday — only 25-pip displacement)
Key Takeaway
The difference between winning and losing trades was NOT the pair or the direction — it was the quality of confluence and adherence to rules. Every winning trade had OB + FVG + discount zone + Kill Zone timing. Every losing trade violated at least one checklist step.
FAQ
Q: Is 60% win rate typical for SMC?
A: Yes. Our backtests show 55-65% win rate with proper confluence and rule adherence. The key is consistency.
Q: Should I trade every day?
A: No. Tuesday and Thursday setups were marginal. A stricter trader would have skipped both, resulting in 3W/0L = 100% win rate for the week.
Q: How much time did the daily analysis take?
A: 15-20 minutes per morning. Sunday evening prep: 30 minutes. This is not a full-time job if you're organized.
