L1.2 — Full Breakdown: A Winning BOS Continuation Trade

Case: EURUSD, H4 timeframe. Daily bias bullish — daily structure shows a confirmed higher high from the previous week with a bullish BOS. H4 pulls back to a pre-marked demand zone (previous structural support). H1 BOS of internal swing high within the zone confirms re-engagement. Entry on H1 BOS candle close at 1.0850. Stop below the H4 demand zone at 1.0820 (30 pips). Target at daily structural high at 1.0910 (60 pips, 2R). Position size: 1% risk on $10,000 = $100. Stop distance 30 pips at $10/pip on EURUSD = 0.33 lots.

Trade outcome: price reaches target in two sessions. The management decision at the first H4 resistance (1.0880): trail stop to break even on 50% of position, hold remaining 50% to full target. Both portions exit at profit. Total result: +1.8R (accounting for partial at 1R).

Decision audit: all six stages compliant. Bias correct, setup valid, confirmation met, entry at defined location, management followed, exit at target. This trade is a benchmark for what correct execution looks like. File it in your personal case study library.
