You mention of "confluence" in picking entries tells me you've been trading. When I hear or read about traders who say they rely on just one strategy to pick their trades, I know I've traders who are going to continually fund their burnt accounts. Not many traders know there should be a confluence of whatever strategy one's using to make for a perfect or sniper entry. No single strategy or indicator is ever enough, whether you're depending on lagging indicators of MA, MACD, Fractals, RSI or leading indicators of Trendlines and Pivot Points. For me, I do PA, trendlines and ICT. Nothing beats that combination.
