Blind Entry
Blind Entry Trading is a strategy where a trader enters a trade without waiting for a confirmation signal like a candlestick pattern or indicator crossover. Instead, they enter based solely on price reaching a pre-marked level, such as support, resistance, or a Fibonacci retracement.

🕶️ What is a Blind Entry?
A blind entry is when you place a trade at a price level in advance, expecting a reaction—without waiting to see how the market behaves at that level.
💰🔁 Common Use Cases:
Predefined support/resistance zones
Fibonacci levels (e.g., 50% or 61.8%)
Order blocks or supply/demand zones
Event/gap areas
💰✅ Example of a Blind Long Entry:
You identify a strong support zone at 1.0950.
You place a limit buy order at that level before price arrives.
Price reaches 1.0950, hits your order, and reverses upward.
No price action confirmation—just trust in the level.

💰📝 Example Blind Entry (Forex)
EUR/USD pulls back to a 61.8% retracement of a bullish leg.
You place a limit buy at the 61.8% Fib with a 15-pip SL.
Price hits the level and rockets upward—blind entry wins.
