That candle you regret missing was not an opportunity.
It was a trap.
A sudden spike appeared, price moved violently and disappeared just as fast.
No retest, no structure, no confirmation.
This was a liquidity sweep.
Such moves look impressive on the chart, but they are nearly impossible to trade in real time.
Even if an entry is taken, exiting safely becomes the real challenge.
Smart traders do not chase abnormal candles.
They wait for structure, retest, and confirmation.
Missing a fake move is not a loss.
Entering it usually is.
This is how capital survives in the market.
