How to Structure an A+ Entry

This is the written companion to Sires' video on structuring an A+ entry in order flow. It opens on the trade from the recording: one NQ contract, long off a level he teaches in the mentorship, which built a max balance on his second Lucid account, after earlier tries that day got partialled, stopped and broke even. The question it answers is what separates that winner from the attempts before it, and the answer is a short checklist where every line is worth points and the points add up to a grade, from a C when the higher timeframe is your only reason, to an A+ at five or more.

Each line gets a page on the real chart. Maximum aggression with minimum price progression, buyers pushing while sellers go nowhere. The absence of counter-aggression, read on Deep Trades as roadblocks. An invalidation that is obvious, with every seller exhausted and a refill under price. Then where it sat in the auction, seeking balance after a breakout and retest, why the DOM, footprint and heatmap all show the same data, and the delta structure on the daily profile in a short gamma market. It ends with the trade scored at eight points, and both schematics are free to download below.
