Strategy overview
A confirmation is any piece of evidence a trader requires to be present before acting on a setup, turning an idea into a permitted trade. What distinguishes this entry is the framing of the source: the video is built as a veto list rather than an entry system — its title literally instructs you not to trade until the named confirmations are on the chart, which puts the emphasis on the trades you skip rather than the ones you take.
The source is "No Operes sin Estas Confirmaciones (Eleva tu Winrate)" from Gorka Fx, a Spanish-language trading channel, and the methodology is mixed rather than tied to a single indicator or school. That matters for how the material reads: confirmations drawn from different families of evidence — structure, momentum, and context, for example — are meant to be stacked, so the signal comes from agreement between independent readings rather than from any one tool firing. The title's promise of a higher winrate is the video's own framing, and it points to the mechanism most confirmation-based approaches rely on: filtering out the marginal setups instead of finding new ones.
The practical trade-off is worth understanding before adopting any confirmation stack. Every filter added pushes the entry later and reduces the number of trades taken, which can raise the hit rate while shrinking the average reward per trade — so a confirmation checklist has to be evaluated on overall expectancy, not on winrate alone. This page catalogs the strategy as presented in the source video; the confirmations themselves are defined there.

Frequently asked questions
What does "confirmation" mean in trading?
A confirmation is a condition a trader requires to be present before entering — a signal that the setup has done what it was supposed to do. It acts as a filter on an existing idea rather than as a way of generating new ones.
Do more confirmations mean a better strategy?
Not automatically. Each additional confirmation removes marginal setups, which can raise the winrate, but it also delays entry and reduces trade frequency. A confirmation stack should be judged on total expectancy — winrate combined with average reward and number of opportunities — not on winrate in isolation.
Who is behind this strategy?
It comes from Gorka Fx, a Spanish-language trading channel, in the video "No Operes sin Estas Confirmaciones (Eleva tu Winrate)". The approach is mixed methodology, meaning the confirmations are not restricted to a single indicator or trading school.
How should I evaluate a confirmation-based approach before using it?
Define each confirmation as an objective, checkable condition, then test the full checklist on historical data to see how many setups it removes and what it does to average outcome.
