Conservative vs Aggressive Entries - Different ways to enter!
There are different ways to enter trades - some opt for an aggressive approach while others opt for a conservative entry. Aggressive entries are taken at the first signs of reversal out of a supply/demand zone while conservative entries wait for more significant larger structure breaks in the trend.
I almost always opt for the conservative take as I want structure to be with me all the way. By getting in with an aggressive entry you can achieve higher risk reward but you will also inevitably run into more losses because you are relying on the short term trend to confirm your higher timeframe intensions.
It comes down to your risk tolerance: Conservative entries require patience and sometimes when they don't give an entry you'll need discipline to avoid getting burned - but they are the wiser option for risk averse traders. Aggressive trades will get you in on nearly every move you have planned but they'll also get you took out a fair amount more than conservative entries. How much pain can you take?
I recommend choosing an approach and sticking to it - being a master of one approach is better than a novice at many!
