Update: Closed two contracts when Price hit the 2nd standard deviation of the Daily VWAP netting 28pts of profit, plus we are at the demand line of the channel, where supply appeared before. Selling peak building on indi:

Update: closed last contract when price practically touched the 1st standard deviation of the trend channel to the upside netting more 30pts of profit, also had touched the last standard deviation of the daily VWAP after a parabolic move. You can see how the Mesch method theory worked beautifully, and the analysis earlier today was kind of spot on: price sprung from the lower POC - or mode - (the big lower one, which means buyers in control), and then it stopped at the upper POC, filling the pocket a little bit on the way up. Now we wanna see no demand at that upper mode so we we can short in the direction of the lower one, rinse repeat til the bell curve is complete and price is ready to look for value somewhere else (which will be a pocket in a larger profile). I should have put more emphasis on longs than counter trend shorts, thing is I have this obsession for fading moves lol:



So another day of insane profits, total was 189,5 pts!!! (200 - 10,5). Even in a difficult day like this, if you know what you are doing, you are safe. The only thing we can control in the markets is how much we lose, that is the only certainty we have.

I don't normally watch Daily trigger numbers, but I have some time on my hands.

On EURUSD price is right at the high of June 10th, and just watching H1 sellers are trying to step in. Something I just noticed, yesterday price kinda tested the June 10th trigger number at 1.1370, volume was on the high side to be really a test but price was able to rally off of it. Also doesn't look like there was any selling at the trigger number either, which makes me very apprehensive of the current sellers stepping in.



Dropping down to a H1 chart, on July 13th the trigger number at 1.1330 from the expansion volume during the euro session, yesterday price came down to the trigger number and found buyers which they took price up very aggressively, also making me think any selling today will be in vein.

These aren't recommendations, just some videos to look at to see order flow trading in action.









and of course, my favorite trading video of all time:

Finally got some time to look at some charts yesterday. Took a couple of trades. Full disclosure, demo account.


1. The high volume zone (HVZ) I used from Monday evening.
2. Two subsequent No Demand (ND) early yesterday morning.
4. On the P&F chart, this was my entry into the trade. A triple bottom sell after a retest of the HVZ low. There's an aggressive entry as it broke out of the zone with a staggered triple bottom (not the official name) but I prefer the entry I took.
3. This volume made me bring my stops in to BE.
i / ii / iii. Brought my stops to all these highs as price moved down.
iv. Decided to close at this low as it seemed to be struggling to break the previous low noted on the left side of the chart.

I picked up an extra 3 lots, with the gains from my original position adding some margin to buy more. If you look left of my entries there is some testing that was done in early US session yesterday, really obvious place to find strength today.

With big CAD news coming up in 5 hours, I'll exit the 3 lots for some money.

SP starting to look good for a short, if we get an upthrust of the 2 day high with follow through. We are at the top of different profiles, single and merged, according to Mesch method, the upper mode got bigger so it means seller in control (talking about the big 30min merged profile). Would like to see price closing and getting accepted below the dominant POC now:

Here larger timeframe:



Here the 30min merged profiles and the current:

Update: Went short at the close of reversal bar after signs of weakness. NY will open in less than 10min, so I have to keep an eye to close full position if it looks like it will skyrocket instead of collapse, otherwise you give back all profits in seconds:


15min looks bad:

Alright I'll look into them thanks.

Update: We are on the money, while I was typing annotations price collapsed. Some nuances of the profiles right at NY open:



EDIT- Update: Partial profits at the hit of 1st target - daily VWAP, for a profit of 17pts:

Update: one more short at the no demand pullback:

Update: We got hour hourly close inside the pitchfork, it also completed the hourly upthrust nicely. NY session initial balance looks compressed, good chance of breaking to the downside given weakness in background:

Update: Partial profits on another contract of the 1st short when price hit a halfway point of channel, which was also making confluence with daily VWAP , for another 17pts of profit, left one contract in play. Aborted mission on the 2nd short as price broke to the upside of a small apex/inside bar formation, it was around 10:10 reversal time and I was hoping the price break to the downside. This one netted 9 pts of profit. Almost closed the last contract of 1st short, was waiting for price to close above the line in the sand (high of bar that ignited the move down after the reversal bar close , where I entered). Another short was taken at the same area of the 1st, we had no demand, bearish EvR, pullback with low volume, delta divergence:

Update: Closed all position when price reached the same area again after a strong move down. Was not feeling like getting underwater again and give back almost all profits, price seems to be ping ponging in a small range this morning, perhaps will break down later. Last contract of the 1st short netted extra 19 points, and the 3rd short fully liquidate netted 54pts:

Update: another short opened as price broke and closed below the big ass POC of the merged profile. We had supply hitting on down move, no demand on pullbacks and bearish EvR:

Update: closed two contracts when price hit a confluence of bunch of lines which it is respecting netting 31pts. Had left one contract in play that ended up aborted when price closed above line in the sand resulting in 1,5pt loss, second time today giving back a lot of profits on the counter moves:

Update: one more short taken, reasons in annotations:

Update: Aborted mission for a loss of 9pts. Did not see this at the time, but now it was obvious that I should have aborted at the reversal bar with pop in volume, after no follow through:

Update: short again, practically same reasons as before, I see a pullback going up with no demand, basically trying to catch the turn, was the previous loss a matter of timing, maybe? In the end the market will do whatever it wants:

Update: aborted mission for a profit of 7pts as the big bar went back with force into the uptrend channel and broke the high of previous bar.:
