Generally, I just follow these four steps when entering a position:

1️⃣ Determine the trend:

Use S/R or moving average arrangement to confirm whether the current trend is upward or downward.

2️⃣ Start making expectations:

For example, if the first step determines a downward trend, once the price breaks below support, you can start expecting a rebound to short.

3️⃣ Wait for confirmation signals, set stop-loss and take-profit levels before entering.

The K-bar closes down at the resistance area, confirming the downward movement, and the height of the K-bar is almost the same as or higher than the previous green K-bar. In any case, it should not be a doji star type.

The third step is very important, because if the third step does not provide a confirmation signal, you cannot enter the market.
