Rule 7: A-plus gate

A trade only counts if it passes the trader's written A-plus checklist at entry: right session, liquidity swept, bias agrees, entry model confirmed, and stop and target where the checklist says. Failures are logged as B or C trades and kept out of the results.

1. N1 Clear 1H bias/trend before the setup (no clear bias = B/C grade)
   nRIqZwma9xM @ 4:06 · “ideally, in order to have an A+ setup, you need the bias figured out”
2. N2 Valid CRT: C2 breaks the C1 high/low and its body closes back inside the C1 range
   UBvfsImdI2U @ 2:02 · “wait for the actual colored part of the candle to close back inside that range”
3. N3 CRT timeframe 1H (highest quality) or 15m (30m also shown)
   UBvfsImdI2U @ 1:26 · “the highest quality setups are on the hourly, and the 15-minute is just the one that shows up more often”
4. N4 Inside his window: NY 09:30 to about 12:00-13:00 ET
   QCt7_Cq9pQY @ 4:23 · “my best trades are found from 9:30 when the market opens until about 12:00 to 1:00”
5. N5 Entry on a strong break of the middle-candle (C2) extreme on the 2m
   MJsEFxo1Apg @ 6:10 · “drop down to a two-minute time frame. We will look for price to break this middle candle's high, and it will have to be a strong break”
6. N6 Target = opposite end of the C1 range
   nRIqZwma9xM @ 9:31 · “TP is going to be at the low and your stop loss will be at that high that we marked out”
7. N7 Stop placed so the trade is ~1.5R to the target
   nRIqZwma9xM @ 21:26 · “my stop loss is going to be 1.5R from that TP”

13 tagged trades · A+ yes 0 · no 6 · unknown 7 (TRADES_TAGGED.csv). Code grade from the A+ code forensic is shown on each trade.
