I wasn't around to Trade it but the Chart shows what I'm looking for.

The Level of Interest for going Long would have played out well.

I think this is very Relevant to my Trading Method to have Anticipated Levels of PullBack and WAIT for PRICE to come to that Level before Trading in the Direction Determined by Structure and Order Flow.

Structure and Order Flow is determined by the M30 Time Frame Setups from M5 and Entries from M1.

Each Vertical Grey Dashed Line represents 30 Minutes of Time.

So another Element to Trading is TIME.

GBP/USD M1 Observations

Waiting to see if there are enough Sellers to Break through this Level of Buying.

Everything is relative to the Time Frame being Traded on an Higher Time Frame this Level of Buying would be insignificant.

Been away for a week.

The difficulty we have as Retail Traders is being able to see the Institutions Intentions before it's too late.

How many Higher Time Frame Traders where looking at going Long on Friday 7th April?

At least by Trading Shorter Time Frames I am more flexible in Market Structure and Order Flow.

Hi Steve, itīs a probability game for us.

The flexibility and order flow are present too in higher time frames, because we have the same structures.
Choosing which time frame to trade depends on the type of trader we are.

In my case I prefer the smaller time frames too.
POW!

Hi FXPrimate,

I agree, as long as the probability of a Trade working in our favour is greater than working against us then this is our Positive Edge.

There is also Order Flow within the Higher TFs but it is far less Flexible than trading the Lower TFs.

A change in Order Flow starts with the first Tick I find it far easier to define Order Flow on the Lower TFS and aim for 20 30 50 Pips.

I find Trading D1 Charts far more frustrating it can take days to weeks for a Trade to setup and days to weeks for it to play out.

The longer we spend in a Trade the more chance there is for Market Conditions to change.

As a Retail Trader I have no idea of Big Moneys Intentions until I see some clues.

Structure gives a good indication of the Order Flow.

Often it's better to WAIT rather than jumping in too early.

GBP/USD M5 Observations

Has Big Money just given us a clue??

Or is it Manipulation??

This is what needs to be determined before a Trade is Entered.

Hi Jason,

That's easy to say and see in HindSight but a lot more difficult to put into practise, simply because we are not privy to Smart Moneys Plan for the Day.

In this Post #76 I highlight the dilemma we face as Retail Traders.

We don't know if a move is genuine or false.

We can only play the "Probability Game" the best way of doing this, that I have found, is by being Flexible that means - Smaller Time Frames - Market Structure - Order Flow and of course there is a Time element.
