Here is a rundown of the order to confim a trade.

Wait for a market turning point(price to turn down/up from a peak or trough.
Check the trend in 2 timeframes higher.
Trade only in the direction of the trend.
If you take a counter trend trade make sure that you are 100%+ sure you know what you are doing.
Mark the peak at the turning point as s/r check higher charts to confirm, the more that match the better if s/r only matches trading timeframe but is with the trend thats fine.
Do not enter trade immediately ,if you think the price is running away from you before you entered , think again, its a trap , you will end up watching the price retrace to retest.
Do not trade breakouts (breakouts are a weak form of trading), you will lose more than you will win.


REMEMBER BUYERS ENTER THE MARKET AT SUPPORT
SELLERS ENTER THE MARKET AT RESISTANCE.
