{quote} Hi Steve, The gap seems the new item to your charts. Will you trade when the price is down to the gap but has not reached the bullish order block?
It is not new to Steve, he mention about them in his below post while referring chris lori and it has inspired me too

GBP/USD M30 M5 M1 Short Trade(s) Result

I Entered a Second Short (see Chart below)

I saw the Gap on M5 and waited to see how Price would react

When I saw the Bearish Structure M5 I Entered the 2nd Short Trade

I Exited both Short Trades within the M5 Order Block

I never exceed 2% risk when Trading I split my Risk so I can Enter a Maximum of 4 Trades at any one time

There is always a Hard Stop Loss in Place, usually +30 Pips

It is very rare for this to be hit

My internet was down and couldn't post the earlier trades.
Now time to watch as the price is reaching M30 BuOB.

GBP/USD M5 Observations

This is why I "think" the 1.41500 Half Number could have a Role to Play...

Hi Steve,

Could you please explain a bit about Half Number? Are you also considering .2 and .8 number?

{quote} Hi Steve, Could you please explain a bit about Half Number? Are you also considering .2 and .8 number?

Hi Nick;

Yes, Institutions use Whole and Half Numbers for their Pending Long and Short Trades

Clients, like Big Corporations, will want to do Business at a certain Price they are prepared to Pay usually a Whole or Half Number

Very Big Orders get a Bigger Distribution this is when the .2 and .8 Numbers can come into play

I used to put these Levels on my Charts; if you take a look at HTF Charts you will see how often a Large Swing will Originate from one of these Numbers

If you look at my earlier Charts you will see them

{quote} Hi Steve this is very good way of managing the trades. thanks for sharing.

Hi Bilal;

As you know what goes up has to come down and vice versa

When I see a Trade going against me, like yesterday, I look carefully for "Road Blocks" that might turn Price and then watch for a Switch in Structure M5 M1

Price will Return to Close a GAP or Test a Order Block

This doesn't always happen of course and this is when the Hard Stop can come into Play

The main thing is to Trade at a Level that will allow you to do this
