Trade setup — what I saw
In this sample trade, I identified buy-side liquidity above the prior high, saw it taken, marked bearish displacement and a bearish CHoCH, and waited for relative equal highs to be swept before considering the supply zone.

Trade notes — what happened
What I learned
Every criterion was present and the trade still failed. That is what a strategy without guarantees looks like.
Post-trade review
Process followed. Outcome: fail at −1.0R. I will keep logging similar setups before drawing conclusions.
