That's the way I understand it too. Basically what you want to do is to trade into "space left of price" where price has room to go and doesn't easily run into zones of former consolidation, PPZ's or BN's. It also helps to confirm the PBT with a RT ...

NZD/USD — The NZD/USD has just broken resistance and is moving into space. I'll wait for a closed candle above R/S, pullback and test of the new support or any other PA signal. Would that be a sensible trade?

Thank you Tinny, great explanation. Sometimes its hard to see the right levels and I tend to draw too many lines, getting better though. You don't use the monthly s/r levels?

USD/JPY — What you guys think about this setup? My assessment is: Nice strong S/R around the 79.72 (SL beyond that) Bearish inside Bar and bearish entry with the larger trend BUT against the short term trend. Once price gets back down I'll ...
