I know but the buyers had achieved control. I had to take it. Fear is for the other traders on the other side of our trades.

Chewed up and spit out again. Hopefully, applying myself consistently will eventually result in better performance, not just sucking consistently. I'm having a difficult time knowing when I'm being patient and when I'm being gutless.

-104 for the day

Hang in there my friend we all go through the swamp every now and then. I would say to just stick to a particular order flow and trade it. Forget about everything else and work with it.

CAD/JPY 15 min set up below. NSH and ABCD just completed. Expecting correction - hopefully down to the 38.2 or 50 area buying zone. I like the 50 as the daily open level is there for added support.

Good day Sir,

I had the worst day of this year. Total - 82p.

Could you say where I was wrong? I missed 2 longs before my first entry. For now I understand that my second entry was against the larger expectation.

When you understood that immediate orderflow is not going to make another NSL?

If you were looking at the short term order flow, your first entry long was after the expectation had failed. The play was short. Your second trade has a bit the the same thing. That one was harder to see but the sellers were unable to defend their zones and the buyers started absorbing and all of the levels they needed to defend. That means bigger money scaling in.

For 2nd trade I have the impression that your yellow lines are a mixture of short-term and long-term orderflow. When looking to the 233 tick chart you see very clearly that the swing you are trading belongs to the longer order flow. So it seems that your are taking a short on the very bullish longer order flow which finally caused the problem. Makes my observation sense?

Do you mean this break of structure?

Thanks a lot.

Yes, Stay true to one order flow. There is less confusion and easier to follow.

You are totally right.

I see where I was wrong.

Sorry for disturb you but I have couple of questions:

Do you keep in mind intraday order flow when you trade immediate swings?

It's a bit confused me. When I think about intraday swings while trade short term stuff I can loss a lot of good trades.

Should I be careful to trade correction of the intraday swing when momentum and projection of it is strong?

Or just focus on one orderflow and dont care about anything?)

Thank you.

Hi guys, have you ever tried to use volume profile (or market profile) to define structure? See the picture with my last trade. I used volume profile tool and marked interesting volume areas (horizontal lines) See how price reacted to them. To be honest I have problems to identify structure areas so I am looking for a tool to help with it. I use standard tools like POC, VAH, VAL, etc. Will be glad for your comments.

I think we are just watching paint... I don't think there's even any drying in the process

I tried for a while volume and POC. However, it did not help me. On cntrary, I think that my trading suffered from it. So I removed it again.
