NZDUSD | 15m Trade Plan | Intraday15m current market condition : Took entire buy-side liquidity
During killzones:
Plan A : Take a short position after a 15m bearish confirmation.
Plan B : After inducement is taken, take a long position following a 15m bullish confirmation.

Killzones
AUDUSD | 15m Trade Plan | Intraday 15m: Marked the latest supply / strong resistance zones
@15m Killzones:
Plan A (51% probability): The market is likely to sweep the entire buy-side liquidity and then move towards a bearish trend.
Plan B (49% probability): If there's a potential supply-to-demand flip, the market is likely to move bullish.
Based on 15m clear confirmations after the liquidity sweep or flip, take a long or short position accordingly, depending on the bullish or bearish confirmations.
React only during killzones; do not take entries outside of these times.
AUDUSD | Trading Plan | 15m15m:
A bearish Break of Structure (BoS) is clearly visible after the buy-side liquidity sweep.
I've marked the bearish leg and identified a valid supply zone.
I'm now waiting for a sell-side liquidity sweep to enter a long position until market mitigates the above supply zone.
After the supply zone is mitigated or buy-side lq sweep, will wait for a bearish confirmation appears on the 15m chart, I'll look for a short position again.
"Primarily, we need to focus on opportunities during kill zones and ignore any setups outside of these times."
Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar | Entry 2 : Short Position15m : Supply zone mitigated

-----------------------------
GBPUSD | Selling OppurtunityDay Trend : Bearish
15m : Bullish Trend( in the process of Supply Zone Mitigation )
as soon as liquidity sweep in buyside, wait for 15m bearish confirmation
1m: enter into trade after 1m bearish confirmation
Note: If there is a bullish confirmation in the 15-minute trend and 1-minute confirmation, we can enter a long (buy) trade until the buy-side liquidity sweep. Later, we need to find a bearish (sell) entry opportunity.
Don't deviate from the process for 1-minute confirmations.
USDJPY | Buying OppurtunityDay : Took sellside LQ hence bullish trend in 15m, Marked Day time frame Demand Zone
15m : After Mitigation of Day TF demand zone, wait for 15m Bullish Confirmation

Note : take an entry during killzone time, if no confirmation until market reaches to non-killzone, wait until next kill zone or take the reversal entry if any 15m and 1m confirmation towards Bearish
Types of Entry Models in SMC ConceptsIn Smart Money Concepts (SMC) trading, there are different types of entry models that traders use to enter the market. These include aggressive entry, actual entry, and order flow entry models. Here’s a simple explanation of each:
1. Aggressive Entry Model (15m): @Manipulation
Entry Criteria: During Liquidity (LQ) Sweeps at Killzones + Stack Entries at Lower Time Frame (LTF, 1m)
Description:
Traders enter trades during significant liquidity sweeps, particularly in key market zones known as killzones (high-activity periods).
They stack their entries by analyzing the 1-minute chart to find optimal entry points.
This approach aims to catch early moves by entering immediately after liquidity has been swept, indicating potential reversals or strong market moves.
Order Type: Market Order(post candle confirmation)
Traders execute a market order as soon as their entry criteria are met on the 1-minute chart, entering the trade immediately at the current market price.
Time Frame: 1 minute (LTF)
2. Actual Entry Model (15m): Post Manipulation
Entry Criteria: At Valid Supply or Demand or Flip Zones
Description:
Traders enter trades at well-defined supply and demand zones or flip zones (areas where the market changes from supply to demand or vice versa).
They wait for the price to reach these significant zones on the 15-minute chart, providing a more confirmed entry point that aligns with market structure and potential reversals.
Order Type: Limit Order
Traders place a limit order on the 1-minute chart at a specific price level they believe the market will reach, ensuring a better entry price.
Time Frame: 1 minute (LTF)
3. Order Flow Entry Model (15m): @Distribution
Entry Criteria: At Unmitigated Order Flow
Description:
Traders look for areas of unmitigated order flow on the 15-minute chart.
Unmitigated order flow refers to price levels where significant orders have not yet been fully absorbed by the market, indicating potential areas of strong buying or selling pressure.
Traders place their entries at these levels, often waiting for a candle confirmation to ensure the validity of the order flow analysis.
Order Type: Limit Order (post candle confirmation)
Traders wait for a candle confirmation on the 1-minute chart before placing a limit
order.
They analyze the order flow and wait for a confirming candle that aligns with their analysis before setting a limit order to enter the trade.
Time Frame: 1 minute (LTF)
SMC Killzone : Aggressive and Stack Entry'sMainly in SMC, there are 3 entry models
This example is all about the
1st Entry Model : Aggressive Entry Model along with Stack Entry
Criteria as below :
15m Kill Zone
Aggressive Entry Model( 14RR ) : 15m Valid LQ Sweep > 1m Confirmation > Limit Order Entry
Stack Entry Model( 9RR ): Within 15m Aggressive Entry > 1m Confirmation > Limit Order Entry

Now, let’s talk about Daylight Saving Time (DST), which starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. During this period, Eastern Time is shifted one hour ahead to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), which is UTC-4.
For example, let’s consider April 10th, and the time is 11:30 AM in Eastern Time (ET) during Daylight Saving Time. To convert this to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), you add 4 hours to the local time:
11:30 AM ET (UTC-4) + 4 hours = 3:30 PM UTC
