I know I was going to take a scratch, but sometimes things happen a lot slower

The set-up appeared so I took it. Execution is key.

The probabilities don't lie. 66% chance of hitting that level. Problem is that when the market doesn't just drop like a rock, who has the nuts to hold. Deep corrections are the worst. But I am happy that the stats keep totting up.

thanks Noeyedear, it makes sense to have them on the chart, just to remind you where the most amount of action took place before.
Plus, if the price doesn't reject that level it means that you can expect some follow through and use the new info to work out where they may be going next
key is to keep zooming in and out so you can get a sense of what the market structure is as well as doing the close up stuff for the entries

Traded off a S/R line took profits at a swing high.
It got me short to start with and then shook me out, so had to flip.

You can't marry a trade. If the idea is sound but it doesn't work out as planned, take the hint and think what the alternative narrative may be

Protecting your balance can protect your mental capacity to find another trade.
There is nothing worse than adding risk, seeing a draw down turn into a profit, only to allow the account to close lower because your ego said you were right on the trade direction.

Hi NevFX,

Thank you for your detailed analysis, much appreciated.
May kindly ask what trading software you're using?
Also, what do you think of TradingView's volume tools on their Pro account?

BTW, this is my first post on FF.

Hi NevFX, Thank you for your detailed analysis, much appreciated. May kindly ask what trading software you're using? Also, what do you think of TradingView's volume tools on their Pro account? BTW, this is my first post on FF.

Nice to have you looking in on my posts. They are meant as a reminder to myself of how I can be consistent.

I am using Tradovate which is a Futures focused platform rather than the forex and equities.
I also have Tradingview's pro account and some of the volume tools are exactly the same as what I use in Tradovate. Not all assets on Tradingview have centralised volume so the Volume profile doesn't always work. But for what I need it is good.

Your analysis is on point. I took a short a trade before I saw your video, took profit, and entered long. Took some profit again.
I also track the DXY, and I think in one of your video's you also mention the US10 Bonds.
I found a few MT4 TPO indi's that I'm working through. I found one that works okay. I took a few Gold trades off it, all in profit.
Thanks once again, for the analysis. It's helping me a lot.

The ultimate diary entry.
Calling out my levels for my analysis, what I want to see happen at certain levels etc.
Culminating in a win.

Full trade - from my analysis, how I chose my levels, to where I took my profits and what strategies I used
