This is how SMC traders who do not use trendline confirmations for their trade hit multiple SL anyhow,

it's not just about marking demand zones to trade off on, directional bias confirmation using trendline are also very important.

Just because you mark a demand zone doesn’t mean it’s tradable.

If the trendline has broken, the market has likely shifted its bias.

Smart Money Concept isn’t just about boxes it’s about trading in the right direction

In this chart on #XAUUSD several demand zones got violated. Why?

Because the trendline break already confirmed bearish intent the bullish zones became weak and serves as liquidity

Stop trading blindly off zones, Use trendlines to confirm your directional bias.

Relying solely on zones without understanding where the market is headed = repeated stop hunts.

SMC without directional bias is just guesswork.
