    Waiting for confirmation before entering a buy zone is a smart way to filter out fakeouts, especially on volatile assets like Bitcoin where liquidity sweeps are common. What you are describing is essentially waiting for a market structure shift or a lower timeframe trigger rather than trying to catch a falling knife with a blind limit order.

    When trading with a prop firm, protecting your daily loss limit is everything. Blindly placing limit orders often leads to unnecessary drawdown if the market pushes deeper into liquidity before reversing. Confirmation entries generally require a bit more patience and might mean missing out occasionally, but they usually result in a higher win rate and tighter stop losses.
