You spot the CHoCH, you short the reversal, and price snaps right back through your stop. Sound familiar?
The AFM Research Lab tested that exact entry across 1,398 trades on 28 pairs. It won just 33 percent of the time, and waiting for the retest didn’t save it. So what does work? One layered version held up across 978 trades, and it doesn’t use CHoCH as the trigger at all. First, you need a clear trend with ADX above 20. You also need a premium zone with an order block sitting at its base. Then the CHoCH has to close inside that block, not above it and not below it. Get any one of those wrong and you’re back to trading fake reversals. Your stop and your 3R target are set before you enter, and neither one moves. Stay for the EURUSD walkthrough, where you’ll see the entry land exactly where all three filters line up.
