{quote} Can be, I will patiently wait right now and watch, cant touch anything today anymore just to not invalidate my max daily loss/risk parameters. 1830 could be a intresting area/turning point also where alot of orders might be sitting. Will determine next trade tomorrow morning (EU time- before Asia close) based on what Asia and NY did. Fraknfurt/London open hoping to catch some nice moves tomorrow. Also DXY seems to be gearing up for next leg up.
gold .. not much to do here right now, just waiting for London open to make some moves so I can make next decision, possibly to fill yesterdays imbalances.

i do not know whether will reach 1850 or not, but these are the confluences.
will be quite safe SL above it for those who trade higher time frames, i think.

4H + hourly, my view. Currently "mitigating" that first hourly OB before impulse down, that happened @ 22. nov .
Imbalances to fill on both sides, now waiting for London lunch & NY to decide which way to go first and then either to add up into my short position or just watch.

i hope that this is not happening in this thread.
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...6#post13865726

this is the reason why mapping or set up is shown without entry is good enough.
because one has to think whether the set up agrees with one's view, and have to wait for price to come near there.
entry only shown after trade is completed.

the danger and satisfaction of trading gold.
50 pips drop in 1 minute.

so i agree with the last sentence.
"you don't need to be highly precisive about your entries. but you need to be precise about direction wise and where it is going."

Facts there from ICT videos! I just love gold so much. Caught the same one and indeed, dropped back as fast as it came up. Just had to wait one more day with gbp news as trigger.
Added back into shorts as it was my bias with idea to fill Imbalances from Wednesday push. Only thing i regret is I should have trailed the SL instead of taking so much partials, I really thought we gonna get one more retracement but well.. You live You learn. Profit is profit after all. I was too focused to get that 10% in a week and still ended up with a 9,9% lol.. all these commisions. Really happy that it respected the 1831-1832 area for a short term bounce & TP option/exit still, just as predicted. ^^

this is bilal's recommendation to watch.
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...7#post13865647

from the first video:
1. liquidity is what drives the market.
2. if price has taken out liquidity and then break a structure in the opposite direction, it is going to be a strong move later.

so why do you think i focus on quasimodo pattern and not just any order block? go look at the pattern.
