01
Understand the context
Higher timeframes establish the background; H4 shows price structure and H1 defines scenario conditions. Together they explain the directional choice but do not guarantee it will occur.
02
Wait for confirmation
The EUR/USD plan requires an H1 close below 1.1592. A level touch and a candle close are different events. Check the exact recorded condition in the review.
03
Account for invalidation
For EUR/USD, an H1 close above 1.1625 invalidates the downside scenario. The upward reversal belongs in the final review alongside the targets reached.
04
Check every target
EUR/USD reached 1.1578; the chart does not show 1.1560 or 1.1545 being reached. XAU/USD passed all lower levels and then recovered. Each scenario has its own outcome.
05
Keep the original plan
A rigorous review requires dated first publications, every release and amendment, and price data. A chart copy helps compare the scenario with the outcome; a separate publication history establishes the first publication date.
