Several independent reasons pointing to the same trade.
What it means
A sweep of the previous day low, inside a killzone, into a higher-timeframe FVG in discount is a confluent long. More reasons are not always better: each extra filter also cuts the number of trades.
How to spot it
- List the reasons and check they are not the same idea twice.
Common mistakes
- Stacking indicators that all measure the same thing.
