Hey AKT, i'll take a stab at it. Why did the demand zone fail despite meeting the set criteria for quality? The demand zone failed because at the time of price entering the price range of the zone, there were many more sellers than buyers - so many ...

You've hit the nail on the head with keeping consistent with your trading approach between backtesting and live trading. I mean the whole reason to backtest is to see how your rules will affect your live trading after-all. More importantly, or maybe ...

Mmmm I don't trail my stop EXCEPT for a very particular instance. If the HTF is in a strong trend and I hop on board @ a HTF Zone then I will trail my stop. Other than that instance I don't ever trail stops. Your reply brought back some memories of ...

Hey LiliBiili, there are a lot of ways to manage TP and all of them have their Pros and Cons. The way I do it personally is taking my 1st TP a few pips before an opposing level on my Entry Timeframe. This opposing level doesn't have to be a ...

Hey Pablo, Unfortunately, without seeing a top down analysis we can't assess the quality of Beejay's trade enough to tell if this should be taken as a S&F or Confirmation. If you want to find out how and when to use these type of entries, check out ...

Nice Job man. Now its just lather, rinse, repeat. I don't know if you're doing this already or not, but I would recommend taking screenshots like this for every trade you take, win or lose, annotating them, and putting them in some type of journal ...

I haven't backtested on flip zones very much, but our rules tell us if a zone is in line with the Higher Timeframe and Intermediate Timeframe Trend then we can take a trade-able Lower Timeframe zone as a set and forget. Like I said, I haven't ...

Hey Youngzen, Those are some good observations when deciding whether to cancel a trade. Here are some observations i've had while testing out this strategy that might help you shape your rules for your trading. 1) If price reaches an opposing zone ...

The 3rd color (Yellow, if I remember correctly) shows 50% candles or "basing" candles to help identify POTENTIAL Supply/Demand Zones quickly. You definitely don't need the indicator to identify the zones. In fact, until you can identify zones ...

Your Higher Timeframe is the 4H so you shouldn't really have to worry too much about the daily as far as really analyzing it for Trend and Momentum and all of that, BUT its always a good idea to see where you are on the Daily just to see how close ...

Hey Obiech, some charts would help us answer your question more definitively, but from the information you've given us it sounds like. 1. You're taking a confirmation entry @ Monthly Level 2. Price has entered monthly zone and has begun to reverse ...

It would really help us narrow down whats going on with the entry if there was a TDA posted to go along with the question. Looking at the candles though it looks like there was some news related event going on at that time. The EURGBP Pair still has ...

Hey Pbee, when we talk about embedded zones we're talking about identifying a zone on a timeframe, then drilling down to a smaller timeframe and looking for a zone within the zone you just defined. i.e Defining your curve level on the Daily then ...

Without knowing your rules it's hard for me to tell whether this was a trade that should have been kept on or not. From what I'm seeing on your charts it looks like on the DAILY chart you had new Supply created from the break of the trend line as ...

No problem. We trade the same time sequence (D, H4, H1). Right now I trade 14 Pairs, and I'm finding that as long as I keep written notes on my charts of what I've analyzed and set alerts for when price is outside of my zones it really helps me to ...

Personally, anything less than 8 I pass up. I've learned being REALLY picky with zones has helped my trading out a lot.
