Professional traders stay profitable with a low win rate because they use high Risk-to-Reward (RR) setups.
They lose small but win big.

Example:

If a trader uses 1:3 RR, then:

• 1 loss = –1R

• 1 win = +3R
  Even if he wins only 3 out of 10 trades, the total looks like:

• Losses = –7R

• Wins = +9R
  Net Profit = +2R, even with a 30% win rate.

This is why pros do not chase a high win rate. They focus on RR, consistency, and emotional control.

A breakout is real when it shows strong momentum and clean displacement.
A fake breakout is usually wick-heavy and reverses quickly.

Real Breakout Example:

Price breaks out of a range with:

• A full-body candle

• Strong move away from the zone

• No immediate return to the range
  This shows genuine buying/selling pressure.

Manipulation Example:

Price moves out of the range with a long wick, hits stop-losses, and immediately reverses.
This is a liquidity grab, not a real breakout.

The strongest confirmation of MSS is:

Liquidity Sweep → Strong Displacement → Break of Structure (BOS)

Example:

If price creates a higher high just to take liquidity, then immediately moves down with a strong bearish candle and breaks the previous low → This is a confirmed bearish MSS.

This pattern shows that market control has shifted to the opposite side.

A false BOS happens when price creates a “break” without real intent or strength.

How to spot a false BOS:

• Break happens only with a wick (not a full-body close)

• No strong follow-through after the break

• Price quickly moves back inside the old range

• Structure break happens right after a liquidity hunt

Example:

If price breaks the previous high by a small wick and instantly drops back down →
This is a false BOS, created only to trap traders.

Professional traders set their weekly bias using HTF zones, liquidity, and price position inside the weekly range. They follow these steps:

1. Check previous week’s liquidity:

Did the market take last week’s high or low?
Example:
If last week’s high is untouched → it becomes a target.

2. Identify Premium/Discount zone:

If price is in a premium zone, pros expect sells.
If price is in a discount zone, pros look for buys.

3. Watch Order Blocks and FVGs on the daily/weekly chart:

Example:
If a Weekly OB is untested → price may visit that zone before reversing.

4. Check economic calendar:

Example:
If NFP or CPI is coming → weekly bias is set around possible volatility direction.

This process helps them plan direction for the entire week.
