Displacement + OTE

Displacement = a strong, impulsive move (often leaving an FVG) signaling intent. The Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) is a retracement zone (~62-79% Fibonacci) of that move where you look to enter with the trend.

Entry / invalidation / common failure

Entry: in the OTE after displacement + LTF confirmation. Invalidation: price closes beyond the move's origin. Common failure: calling every wiggle "displacement" and over-trading. Require a genuine, obvious impulse.

Honest note

ICT concepts can help structure decisions, but no method removes risk. ShaFX signals and risk tools exist so you never rely on a single framework. Verify everything on demo first.
