SRTL
Support and Resistant (supply and demand)
Trend Line

fibonacci (optional)
divergence (optional)
round number (optional)
gap (optional)

They are simply horizontal and diagonal lines for a clear uncluttered chart reading.

***The main purpose of this thread is to post a higher time frame Key Level or Zone for observation
The Key Level is either of 2 purposes:
1. Lower time frame trade set up, or
2. Target as Directional Bias.
It is to be posted before any trade entry is made so as to alert traders who are interested to discuss on the level.
It has only one line or zone with no other information so as to prevent newbies from copying trades.
It is not for posting charts after the fact is over.
Traders later can then post the trade made with some explanation.

The htf Key Level is best used together with htf Trend directional bias.
The goal is to obtain a high probability trade.
Striving to be consistent with profits (rather than a haphazard one) so as to overcome fear, greed and emotions.

Hopefully this will involve traders discussing the trade set up each will be watching out for.
It does not matter whether the trade finally work out or not later.
It is for interaction and with practice overcoming the fear of being wrong.
Only through multiple small failures that one can learn and build up confidence and success.

helicopter overall view on my style of trading: engulfing and breakout.

lower time frame pattern: mainly SRTL SR flip and QM
supported by
higher time frame candstick: Engulf, Double Marubozu, Supply Demand (rbd, dbr, rbr, dbd)

in the combined multi time frames, there are always engulfing and breakout involved.

Structure --> Draw on Liquidity --> Premium Discount --> Displacement --> Set Up

at times i do not use stop loss, because i see a higher time frame pattern, unless you do not trust it.

i am having a short bias if there is a h4 close below the key level.
but i may not be around then to take a trade.

Friday low just gives me the direction to trade towards, which may or may not be my tp.
i am looking for 20 to 30 pips to make around 1% day.
so i have to adjust the unit lot size.
it is something for me to work towards to about 5% week generally..

so i am looking at performance on a weekly basis, instead of daily.

there are many types of traders.
long term, swing, short term day trading, scalping.
one has to find out which one is emotionally comfortable and suitable for.

however all can start using a key level (preferably a htf) to trade from no matter what type of trader one is.
i do not see any type more superior than another type.
not even when one can make more than one hundred pips per trade.
one can afford to do that by using multiple small unit lot sizes trying to even out the odds.

usdjpy short.
retest of snr.
sometimes it is better to wait for frankfurt / london session where there is more volume.

Tip:

one of my favorite pattern.
it appears in all time frames.
one can make a living with this one pattern if well versed in it.
use it with fibonacci, divergence or round number.
better still with combinations of them.

be careful when using in lower time frame as it whip saws.
use it as a trend continuation pattern.
like after seeing a trend in the above h4 post (i used with fibonacci and round number).

eurjpy moved the most after london opened.
we can then study it.

for me directional bias and key levels are most important.
then you can see the 1,2,3.

yes, it is not easy to spot them when live.
will there be a difference if for 3 months day in day out you see hundreds of these.
your eyes and brain will slowly recognize subconsciously.
i am still adjusting myself.

yesterday we started off observing the daily key level.
price went up to another daily key level and dropped back down.
it looks bearish as price broke below h4 level.
friday low is still the target to work towards to.
