Most traders obsess over entries.
Very few study failure.
That’s a mistake.
Here I made a short video which talks about the wedge bear flag and how you can use it to review your other setups.
📉 The Setup
- Gap down
- Three pushes up
- Wedge pullback
- Low 3
- Small bear signal bar
It’s a classic setup. Some traders wait. Others sell below the bar. Either way, you’re in.
Now what?
🚩 The Warning Sign
Seven bars later, price is back above your entry.
Not scratching. Not hovering.
Fully back above.
That’s not opinion.
That’s structure breaking down.
Good wedges don’t bounce that deep, that fast.
When they do — it’s failed.
⚠️ Failure Is Part of the Pattern
Every setup has a point where it shouldn’t continue.
Know that line.
Study that failure.
It’s not just about finding the right trade.
It’s knowing when it’s no longer the right trade.
🎯 The Real Edge
Most traders ask: Where do I get in?
Professionals ask:
What tells me this is no longer valid?
Where should it have worked — and didn’t?
That’s your edge.
Not chasing wins — cutting clean when structure says it’s done.
🛠 Don’t just study what works.
📚 Study what fails.
💡 Learn to see the break.
🔪 Cut with precision.
🎯 Trade like a sniper.
