But would 31246 ( thereabouts) above your level also qualify for a 1730hrs approx bounce?

Hi Laura

Just wanted to say thanks for your blog post on liquidity clearouts. Very clear and thought provoking, and hopefully useful. Keep up the good work!

{image} Here's the type of entry Karun was talking about over the weekend. The entry I took was neither a channel cross nor a channel failure but I was trading the reversion to the SMA. These trades are fine but, I repeat for the benefit of new traders, channel crosses and channel failures are the most basic entry types.
Hi Laura

Regarding this entry, the down trend line seems to be broken (at least on the visible chart), giving the possibility of further upward movement. I'd understand your entry better if you had waited for the retracement 'trend' line to be broken - is it just on the strength of a low RSI at the time of trade and possibly bouncing from resistance that you would have taken this entry?

Wow, that's a blast from the past

You're absolutely right. If I was analysing that entry for anyone else, I'd have said they were taking too big a chance in not waiting for the retracement line to be broken.

Although I can't be certain after so long, I was probably demonstrating that more aggressive types of entries were possible.

Hey T,

Heres some charts from yesterdays SPX500 action Asia UK and NY... 1 minute charts of all and a 5m..
These are the charts I trade indices, live, in entirety... The NY box is slightly different than the 12 bar 15m Asia/UK box..
Its an 18 bar 5M box...very specific to US indices. Dont want to get off track the Roadmap theme here but just saying up front in case
anyone notices and asks why (for currencies metals etc in NY I use 12 bar 15m box)

Have a look and hopefully that answers your question 11 pm here in Vancouver BC past bedtime Good Luck in UK session to all.

Cheers
Kevin/Blue

Edit...Not really showing regular Roadmap trades in my charts..they are self evident...just showing other ways to give some added context ideas confluence for
Roadmappers... Liquidity trades are a big part of this....

Thanks Laura, that is very helpful. Yes it is a bit old, sorry about that. I've been reviewing your Roadmap and Journal threads to develop my understanding where possible.

Hello Laura,

Thanks for replying to my query. I am keen to know that do you use any screener to identify potential opportunities of channel crossing SMA? So that we don't have to go through each and every currency pair and 2-3 time frames for each currency to identify opportunities.
I generally prefer 4hr, 1 hr and 15 min time frames for trading. I have a full-time job so cannot really devote time staring at the charts, some kind of alert/signal would be great.

Any thoughts.

Thanks
Ani

( Dax and Euro -5 minutes - had similar chart pattern)

I was looking at 6:45am to 7am ( 15 minute bar) breaks ( another thread - Claudia1)
In this instance the one minute Roadmap seemed to confirm a break of the 15 minute bar for an entry long. After 8am the Roadmap trade alone produced a nice short.

Hi B
I tried looking at Texas oil via ICT approach. First attempt.

Bias is short daily.
Hourly Low drawn in.
15 and 5 minute time frame used for marking FVG
Break short.
Is this what you mean or are hinting at?

And a stab at the cable chart London and US times - Fair Value gaps? - now 3:10pm UK time.
A first time effort and I know I have a lot to learn.
FVG drawn on 15 minute chart then down to 5 minute to trade.
Critique welcome
