My Rules and Notes:
- In this sniper entry strategy, we can use to trade both continuation and pullback phase.
- In a continuation setup, we align all four timeframes, while in the pullback phase, aligning the last three timeframes is sufficient.
- Use this strategy at least 10 times successfully to believe in the setup.
Name of the strategy: sniper entry strategy
Read more about this strategy at sniper entry strategy and video at YouTube.
Important Note: This whole article is written on based the following scenario: Daily trend is bearish, we want to trade the pullback phase (so we trade the counter-trend in bullish), so overall we want 4Hours, 15min and 1min to align in bullish trend.
Time frames to use:
We will use only four time frames: Daily, 4Hours, 15min and 1min.
- Daily (HTF) -> Identify the trend structure: bullish or bearish.
- 4Hours (HTF) -> Mark the supply and demand zones only.
- 15min (MTF) -> Mark the supply and demand zones only.
- 1min (LTF) -> Execute the sniper entry trades.
Market structure markup:
- In Daily (HTF), mark the BOS or the MS.
- In 4Hours (HTF), mark the latest range and zones to see if price reacts.
- In 15min (MTF), mark the demand zone once the 4Hours (HTF) creates a MS.
- In 1min (LTF), mark the demand zones for our trade entry once the price reacts from the 15min (MTF) demand zone.
Strategy to follow:
Step 1: –>
Use Daily (HTF) to identify the trend structure and come to an conclusion to trade continuation or the pullback phase. (Note: Here I can trade both, My choice.)
Example/Answers:
- Market structure is bearish.
- We want to trade the pullback (counter-trend).
Step 2: –>
Wait for 4Hours (HTF) to create market shift (MS) at the 4Hours demand zone.
Once the 4Hours (HTF) market shift is done, shift to the 15min (MTF) chart.
Mark and Use 15min (MTF) demand zones to check if price is reacting or not.
If price is reacting, shift down the 1min (LTF) chart.
Now start looking for trade setups from 1min (LTF) demand zones. That’s it.
Important Note: Look for early liquidity sweeps on the 1min (LTF) timeframe and mark them as well to make our trade a high-probability setup. Also, watch for a sharp V-shaped liquidity reaction.
Trade Management Rules:
Enter from 1min (LTF) demand zone. Set entry limit order on the edge, stop-loss behind the (1min demand zone) only or entry manually if missed and use the confirmation entry method on 1min (LTF) chart.
- Target the nearest 15mins supply zone for realistic results.
- Target the 1Hour or 4Hours supply zone for bigger rewards.
- Set & Forget (No partials or trailing stops).

Extra bonus tips
Look for multiple liquidity sweeps from the zones to confirm that smart money has collected enough orders and is ready to push price higher.
Our objective is to align all time frames in same trend (mark the MS in all time frame) and take entry from the lowest time frame zone.
Use the premium and discount tool on the 15min (MTF) range to ensure we are still in the best discounted price zone.
If I miss the 1min (LTF) entry, look for the next opportunity using the confirmation entry method and target either higher zones or my 1:5 RR. That’s it.
