I spent a long time trying to use the system “by the book”, attempting to take every trade only when all the confirmations from the main chart and the sub-window were aligned.
I also tried taking trades in the direction of the HTF bias, with entries on the LTF (for example, a D1/H4 bias with an M30 entry).
But despite all these efforts, it wasn’t working as I had hoped.
Had I wasted my time? No. I had certainly gained discipline and learned to understand some essential trading concepts.
So, what was missing?
Beatle says it himself: you need to learn to identify “invisible” zones and trade bounces off them.
Identify an “invisible” zone (I like using this term because we can’t see them directly: our brain has to work to spot them and understand them), such as Supply & Demand Zones, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), Order Blocks, and Price Imbalances / Inefficiencies.
This helps filter entries in addition to all the system’s confirmations. Beatle discusses this in these posts:

A long journey, but not a pointless one
I admit, the journey isn’t easy. It’s long, and you can’t see the end of it. It’s been three years since I embarked on this trading journey.
You get lost, you spend hours working without getting anything in return, especially at the beginning. But when you know the goal and the reward waiting at the end, you can’t turn back, especially after all the time you’ve already invested.
Over time, I also think this journey indirectly changes the way we see life. We learn to become more patient, more disciplined, more resilient, and more mature.
I sincerely believe that there are no systems similar to BEATS, where you take a trade simply because your indicators change color on your chart, without any “key” zones.
I say this because I’ve tried many systems, and I’ve always ended up with the same results… It was too good to be true, being able to take trades like a robot!
Thank you for reading. I hope this helps some people who feel lost.
