What is A+ Setup?

A trade that answers all three RRR questions with confluence at a marked level.

The DefinitionA+ Setup, defined

An A+ Setup is the only trade LA Traders takes. It requires: (1) a marked level from the 6:00 AM Protocol, (2) a clear Reveal at that level, (3) a clean Retrace to a defined entry zone, (4) a logical Run target that offers at least 2R, and (5) no conflicting news events. If any element is missing, the setup is a B or a C — and B and C setups are not traded. Ever.

Why It MattersWhy A+ Setup matters

The gap between breakeven traders and profitable traders isn't skill — it's selectivity. Trading only A+ setups means fewer trades, higher win rate, and no death-by-a-thousand-cuts from mediocre entries.

In PracticeA+ Setup — a real example

Example · New York Session

You watch price chop between 5,838 and 5,841 for 40 minutes. No sweep, no structure break, no reveal. You take zero trades. That's the A+ filter working.
