Confluence Stacking
Layer independent signals without creating analysis paralysis.
Confluence means multiple independent reasons support the same trade idea. Examples include a higher-timeframe level, a liquidity sweep, a structure shift, session timing, and a clean risk-to-reward profile.
Good confluence is not the same as adding ten indicators that all measure similar things. If every signal comes from momentum, you may only have one piece of evidence repeated several ways. Strong confluence combines different types of information.
Set a minimum standard without creating paralysis. For example, require location, trigger, and acceptable risk. Extra factors can improve confidence, but if you need perfect alignment, you may never execute. The goal is quality, not certainty.
