it didn't confirm so didn't scale in. i had 1R (realized) out of this trade earlier so gave back almost 0.7R (unrealized) and stopped out at BE. US30 i didn't wait for confirmation here and took position only quarter of my predefined risk as overall ...

GU was in upper half of HVZ of friday. while looking at M30 in my opinion there were multiple signs of strength in line with immediate background. but i was also taking the fact into account that i have entered before even pre-london session so ...

I took it for following reasons though it's before LO. my view about bar 4 is that with immediate strength in background and multiple SOS, and market pushing higher, upbar closing on its high with low volume is potential lack of sellers. if that ...

even though it's hindsight but truth is, if i would have noticed that chart on friday, that was a clean trade with supply and open ranges being rejected with trend alignment on MTF.

after immediate sign of strength and bullish reaction closing back in OR, scaled in with small position equivalent to position at BE already with SL below the stopping volume. risk was small enough that i didn't wait for trend alignment. though BE ...

first one trade on EG was closed at BE. let's see if this day would be a positive one. image EDIT: strong close on high. +1.5R took 1 and rest set BE. image

we have trend alignment on M30, H1 to sell side on gold. and potentially M15 would in line next bar. there is supply on H1, M30 and we already on lows of NYO and below the LOR. but not a clean day as it has been yesterday.

vsa with Malcolm

vsa with Malcolm
