if you look at es in london today on a 30 min its churning. .....it did come into ta for a while but no tests or no supply in a rising market on a 10 min to 30 min charts ( my criteria for entry) . news is in 30 and us open in 1.5 hours .. chart dynamics may change in that session

So basically trend allignment 20MA, on Higher TF and Entry TF, and then a vsa bar for entry, and your good to go?

Dont know why im asking cos I think youve said it 100 times
I think its just cos its hard to take in the simplicity.

Are you putting much weight into your other TG indicators for trend allignment, (medium term trend, volume thermometer), or are you pretty confident with the 20sma alone?

i do not know if you remember what I said about gold in one of my post earlier in week . We had 2 massive supply bars for two days then fomc fuckage on 4 hour wrb that yesterday we had sitribution off the top

then today perfetc trend and sow in trend on 30 ... this will be a 300 to 400 point trade as 1757 is target

Some pleople make it super hard trading a 1 min .... for me i wait for good set ups on higher time frames. Trading is less stressful than trying to keep up with 1min ... and results are more impressive.

I was looking for long in green channel, but I failed to read the price action. Where one should go long and why?

Those are the entries that stand out to me mate.

(Sorry for the poor markings, it was done on my phone)

1. Hidden Test entry after the big 2BR reversal.
2. No Supply after the Hidden Test.
3. 2BR reversal entry. ( could be a Pres78 2BR, not sure if bar 2 made a LL?)
4. Another Test bar entry.

Those early entries would have put you in a bit of a grinder though (and I dont mean my favourite dating app), looks like it took over 2 hours to break the high.

The reason I like using HVZs is that they are easy to draw. There's none of the subjectivity associated with drawing channels (at least from my. point of view). I don't know when you drew the channel, but the Sqt as price breaks out of the channel is a screaming buy.

As for the other entries, they are based on the HVZ (H). There is more than one reasonable entry bar here. You just have to have patience. You might enter, get stopped out, and enter again. But it is pretty clear you want to be long.

Just a quick note to my fellow VSAers:

I'm writing this on my Macbook because my PC just went caput. I've ordered a new lightning fast trading computer, but it will not be delivered until Mid to Late November.

So if you're planning on buying a computer for the holidays, do it soon. It's not so bad if you're not the type to do your own configuring, but if you do, don't wait too long.

do not forget to send pics of your new set up ...

I used to have a custom trading computer that sounded like a jet engine with 12 screens. It was dope ..lol

I make Diens, my trading partner laugh , one of my most absurd trades ever of several hundred k profit was off a phone between flights The set up was right and I went hard. He still talks about it

i saw this post yesterday and wanted to respond in the same manner you did

Guys mark the wsb and uhv bars .. they mean something, monitor prices within the bar range and look for breakouts either side and tests . Hidden Gap always talks about the key importance of these bars , take note...he is one of the best traders I know.

Trezo

If I understand correctly you like trading a 1 min and 5 min tf but you look to trade with the trend on the daily ?

If my understanding is correct and your trading is not getting the results you would like may I suggest something ?

The daily is to high a time frame to trade trend aligmnet with 1 and 5 . Look at gold friday .. daily trend was up ... yet all lower time frames trend was down.

Try trading 1 and 5 with trend alignment 10 / 15 and maybe 30.... your results may improve.

I usually trade trends 30 down , with lowest time frame 10 min for sniper entries.

Let me know you thoughts
