First trade of Asia session. Again had to wait for the price to come to the RN and react. Was an hour after Tokyo session. High was set within the 1st hour of Tokyo session. I did see it going down but was waiting for further confirmation. LH was set at the Pivot but i was waiting for it to react with the 170.5 RN. It broke with big candle and only thing that was left was a retest. The big pin an hour after Tokyo Open at RN was the final confirmation. The 200MA was the only issue and price did rest there for awhile but the other confluences were outweighing it.

Hi W,
Very well done imo, a clean directional trade from the Q500 which happened to be right at yesterday's London Open Line also (coincidence lol )
Day after day these setups can present if we are patient.
Should get interesting at London today, maybe.
all the best

Today was a good day...and really could have gone either way.. But was confident in what I saw unfold coupled with timing..
I have mentioned before quite often the markets reverse,,change it up at around 2pm NYT sometimes 130 145 sometimes 215 or so...
And that I don't generally trade the NY afternoon UNLESS I see something juicy...I just said that in a post the other day and today,
Pop goes the weasel, it was one of those days...

Basically 3 things going on in my head....Market I felt bullish Yes Feelings lol... but for a reason and that was the gap I saw on the
15m chart just after the open.. I waited for a close outside of my hour box and nothing.... Next I knew we were in Day 3 Longs or other words we have had 3 days of rise...The close is above the open...Thats all Day 3 Longs means... So my Bias with that was short...

So we had the Gap off the 15m..We are in Day 3.... But price lingered and lingered not giving me my 50% trade,,,and moseying along not filling that Volume Imbalance on the 15. Patience prevailed. The market moved up to the VIB and filled it to the exact pip ...Organized

Anyways waited for a reversal signal and got a DT on the 1m and started to trade the move...ended up with 5 entries as for the 3rd thing I was looking at
was the 73.00 level.... coupled on top of that swift Gap move...Day 3...My thesis was the market wasnt strong enough to hold above 73 and knowing the market quite often reverses at these times..

Gap down (Volume Imbalance)
Day 3 longs
73 level
Typical Reversal TIMING..

So 4 things

Anyhow I do suggest that if trading oil gold indices....Have a TV chart open to watch the actual Futures markets...MT4 charts dont always show some of these little things Like Volume Imbalances... My MT4 broker showed a smaller VIB.. I noticed other MT4 brokers did not show it at all..

Heres some charts TV Oil futures showing this VIB very very clearly...My MT4 is visible...Although my yellow highlight sort of obscures it from your view...

And a 1m chart showing entries....

BTW George is a Master at trading these VIBs...so many times as we were trading he would point them out with an eagle eye literally lol and I would be like HUH
Where is it lol.... and sure enough they were there and quite often he would trade them...

Thats all folks

All the best

Maybe having a trend bias in mind and taking only trades in that direction could eliminate the losers ?

My thoughts are Price opened (UK) below the US close past 2 previous days & below UK Open previous day.

Price retraced back to PDC (NY) to close Gap.

Of course would mean sitting on your hands and avoiding counter trend trades.

Yes.....I missed the runes in the sand
Missed the story the 15 minute and 5 minute were telling me - everything is short -even the "Roadmap" channel was showing short in the 5 and 15 minute. Like you said.: sit on hands for the eventual short.
Concentrating on the one minute, which is something I am still prone to do due to lack of discipline sometimes, means I miss the important road signs of the higher time frames and their levels and channel.
I will punish myself by eating TWO chocolate biscuits, instead of the usual one, with my coffee.
Lunch then off to garden centre before US Open
