0/USD

Im posting this out of frustration.
.. of losing in forex, the lack of help, the industry.. general global situation. I started my forex journey for the lifestyle, that is; I want my life back. I'm tired of the new world order and just want a pure and simple life. I'm not interested in working for a boss. I'm interested in simply being normal.
I'd like to buy a plot of land to build a house with a garden so I can grow my own vegetables. I don't think that's too much to ask.

This strategy is an accumulation of knowledge that I've gained in the 2.5 years I've been involved in Forex. In the beginning I would've disregarded the idea of sharing any knowledge for it was I who discovered it. I've come to realise that's total BS. There used to be an air of secrecy around strategies.. Not anymore. I've spent a couple thousand bucks on Forex education and am still not profitable. Let alone the amount of hours I've burned infront of the chart.. You can learn everything and still be a bad trader. Don't believe what any mentors tell you. Maybe you'll get a good strategy out of them.. but ultimately, you have to click the button. Nobody teaches that. You need a bloody good reason to put some money on the table. A simple structural pattern on EU with MTF analysis is not good enough.


Why zero dollar?
Because the dollar apparently controls everything on this rock. So, I have removed it. There is a brief moment when I glance at it but the strategy does not involve the USD. (because it's already involved.. It's so messed up really).
There are a couple main points:

 

1. Session time.

I always want to pair an active market with an inactive market. Ie. EURAUD
A pair like this can be traded during any session.
If you trade EURUSD, both markets are open, everyone is trading it, the volatility is too much and you'll always get shaken out. OR, nothing happens atall. Because king dollar is virtually always strong.. How can you Buy EU. Think about it.
I know you can get good scalps if you hone in and have a good understanding of BMS/SMS blablabla -enter $1.5k strategy here- but I'm not here to sit at the charts all day. It's about the lifestyle. I wanna put on a realistic position in one particular session and check it again in the next session. We buy a strong currency and sell a weak currency.

 

1. Safe Havens

We look at Swiss Franc and the Yen.
So, this can be called step 1. Check CHF/JPY.
We're trading the euro area against australasia. So, check the flow between these two. The euro area is (for the sake of this idea) the Euro and the Pound. Australasia = Australia & New Zealand. EUR/GBP, AUD/NZD. Use google to find the significant relation between these zones and the British Empire.

 

1. That's the hard part done. Basic currency strength analysis.

Any analysis that happens now is done primarily on the Daily chart, using the Weekly for confluence (check at end of each week). Entries should be based on 6H/4H/1H. Nothing lower.
Let's say CHF/JPY is up - how is it up? You can trawl youtube for sms/bms strategies based on ICT teachings. Nothing is a secret. Don't pay for any mentors.
So, CHF is strong. JPY is weak. We wanna buy the Euro area.

EUR/GBP is down, more specifically we wanna buy the GBP.
AUD/NZD is up. We're selling Australasian area, more specifically NZD.
Boom, weekly bias is to Buy GBP/NZD. Take a look at the charts - it's happening right now.
The final (optional) point once you have this bias is to confirm it with the USD.

Simply Check GBP/USD & NZD/USD for apparent strength/weakness to confirm your idea.
Any entry can and should be taken based on premium/discount zones of the present Daily range. If you don't understand that.. youtube. Or find the various leaks online of mentors ridiculously priced courses. ICT has a great free youtube mentorship available that is destroying all these mentors right now.

That's really it. Don't be scared of putting a big stop loss. Use limit orders. Go easy.

Let me know what you think.

Thank you so much for your sharing, Octapad.
I'm also studying ICT on Youtube, he is such great mentor. And I think about applying it for swing trading. Your ideal about zero USD is great for swing trade, I think so.

You're welcome Hung. Glad you like it.

Midweek analysis:
We had the massive move on GBPNZD.

Maybe we'll see some downside on CHFJPY but it's still bullish to me. I expect a bullish reaction from the weekly discount zone.
EURGBP is down but it's at one of them turning points where it might fake you out. If GBP has been bullish, maybe Euro will follow? Tends to be the way.. like, lagging. Pretty speculative, wish I could see the reality.
AUDNZD: Pretty bloody bullish.
So.. Based on this analysis I'd say; Look to buy EURNZD.

EURNZD Daily chart has closed with a bodily break, I'd call that a bms. Question is, how deep can it drop before we get the sms buy?
There's a significant POI at the monthly open.. accumulation range, breaker block, imbalance..
I'm gonna have a think about where I could put a buy limit around here.
Any input appreciated.

NU looks down on the daily to me.
H4 break and retest?

EU daily bullish engulfing of that pin OB.. I'd say that's a Daily bms.. like.. I feel the move up is already underway. We've broken above the weekly open.. so possible continuation to upside.

EN;
I would assume not to take an entry unless it was at weekly discount, but I figure I'm already late and 1.57 was already at discount.. now we've broken out - anything could happen.. break and retest off the pink (monday high) line?
I'll wait for H4 close.

I expect you can already tell - I ain't no pro. But I'm willing to put out what I know here 'cos you shouldn't have to pay for this. Just spend time studying the charts with curious intent. That's it.

I believe this is the range we're working in.. apparently it's bank holidays but there's still red news for euro tomorrow.
Because of that I'm not gonna do anything until NY session. Let's see.

As expected the euro took a bounce off that EG low.
I remember watching AZ drop but at the time there was no BMS.. maybe I should have anticipated that better but - trade what you see, right? In that case I should have been looking at EA, not EN.
EA clearly liquidated the sellers on Wednesday and the pressure made a clear BMS on H1. New buyers were able to enter the market at day close off the H1 OB and weekly discount level. 10 pip stop below OB / 30 pip stop for safety, target top of the range > 100 pips

Zoomed into that discount entry. This is what you might pay over $1k for a mentor to teach you. How to find an entry off a POI.
Body break of OB, grab the liquidity and go. Respecting the level. If it doesn't respect the level, ie. The 50% line with the OB.. your POI. If it goes below that you can get out.. that's what your stop is for right. See it enough times, practice entering enough times and you'll trust the flow. But you gotta find them first..

So, we just had big drop. I'd like to think this is a correction. It filled the imbalance of the H6 candle and I'm in targeting the highs.

Total tease. Complete collapse. The ongoing problem continues.. Any insights? I'm so confused with this persistent problem.
