Grade your setup before you take it

Tick the confluences your setup actually has. The more it stacks — and the more they're the ones that matter — the higher it grades. No defined stop, no good grade.

Grading confluences isn't a win guarantee. It's a discipline check so you stop taking C-tier setups.

How the grade works

Every confluence isn't worth the same. Higher-timeframe bias and a confirmed market-structure shift carry the most weight; session timing and a single indicator carry the least. Your weighted points are scored out of the maximum and mapped to a letter from A+ to F. One hard rule: if you haven't defined your stop, the grade is capped at C — a setup with no invalidation isn't a setup, it's a bet.

The confluences it checks

Bias & structure

  • With the higher-timeframe biasyour entry agrees with the daily / 4H direction
  • Confirmed structure shift (BOS / MSS)structure broke in your direction before you entered

Entry zone

  • Liquidity swept firstprice ran stops / took a high or low before reversing
  • Entry from an FVG / imbalance
  • Entry from an order block / S-D zone
  • In discount (long) / premium (short)the OTE / good half of the range, not chasing
  • At a significant HTF leveldaily/weekly S/R, round number, prior high/low

Timing & trigger

  • Inside your session / killzone
  • Waited for a lower-TF triggerconfirmation, not a blind limit into the zone
  • No high-impact news about to drop

Risk

  • Reward:risk is at least 2:1
  • Clear invalidation — exact stop knownyou know the precise price that means you were wrong

FAQ

How is the grade calculated?

Each confluence you tick adds weighted points — bias and market structure count more than a single indicator. Your points are scored out of the maximum and mapped to a letter: A+ down to F. More confluence, and the right confluences, means a higher grade.

Why does no defined stop cap my grade at C?

A setup with no invalidation isn't a setup, it's a bet. If you can't name the exact price that means you were wrong, the grade is capped at C no matter how much else lines up. Define your risk first.

Is this ICT/SMC specific?

It leans on confluences that ICT and Smart Money traders use — bias, structure shift, liquidity sweeps, FVGs, order blocks, premium/discount — but the discipline (more confluence, a defined stop, 2R minimum) applies to any strategy.

Does a good grade mean the trade will win?

No. Grading confluences is a discipline check, not a crystal ball — it stops you taking thin, forced, C-tier setups. Whether your edge is real is a separate question (that's what backtesting and a journal are for).

Is it free?

Yes — no sign-up, no card. Grade as many setups as you want. If you want to log graded setups and track which ones actually make you money, the journal is free to start too.
