At 12:30 chart time ( 8:30 am NY ) there was a news driven VHV spike back up to that S&R zone which failed to breakout upwards.....I sold a few minutes later after the second attempt failed. OK its early, but its WHERE I have an S&R level and I'm ...

Any trader who has traded live and survived for more than say a year will know what he / she wants to do stop loss wise. Now in Europe with its new max of 33:1 gearing it will take some hard work to blow an account. However, prior to this week ...

WRBs are of course, the Spread part of Tom Williams's VSA and are also part of HiddenGap's work on WRB HGs - I've followed his posts for some time and also remember looking at some of Pres78s too. I look at MP - usually on my higher TF charts - as ...

As I trade off the M5 chart, I have already been long , banked and reversed after a Lower H. I just follow my signals - HV & WRB ~levels and try not to get involved with anything other than the action as it unfolds. I look at my hourly before ...

Change "Consolidation" on my chart to "Accumulation" as some AustroAsian SM got ready for the 30+ pip run up after LO.....buying around 4:10 gmt and again just before LO

Really - what about the action around 4:10 am GMT and again in the other green WRB just before LO? - plently of buying at both times

After LO price held at the DP in a HV M5 hammer, so buy in the next candle. 1.6992 was a confluence of a PP & R2 so bank some and wait for the US traders. Add back after the first / second HL and bank some again this time at the 1.17108 POC Add back ...

A sell after LO as price turned in that consolidation zone for a 30+ pips run south. The WR VHV marubozo at 8:20 was a good place to bank some profits and I sold the pull back. The next push down was weak and only managed to get a couple of pips ...

GM Apologies for a more cluttered chart than usual. Earlier, I bought the move above yesterday's close, looking for a move up to that red POC level or up to close the WRB HG. So far, that has not happened, so I banked and reversed off my M5 chart. ...
