GU: Playing with FVG. {image}

Oh - I gave up looking for them FVG'ps because I often failed to spot a useful one. And Shabbs would throw things at me
But can I ask you (if you are a master FVG spotter) - If I have marked a valid ( small rectangular box on dotted line) one after price pushed down below a nearby price level ( on the dotted 50% Fibo line as it happens) or was I lucky ( "Roadmap" actually triggered the long.) What do you think fx?

IMO, you have marked a valid FVG. I am not an FVG expert though, however, I find them quite useful (sometimes ) and often use them as a confluence.

Morning T,,,

Personally I dont place much stock in them on the 1m,,,if I do it has to be multiple 1m candles and or a much much larger single candle fvg than you have shown...
IMO they carry more weight the higher the TFs go... A smaller fvg on the 1hr or 4 hr are more useful IMO even a 15m one ..Really all depends on your entry models.

One thing that does catch my eye on the 1m is this: When you have for ex,,,multiple 1m bullish candles with little to no wicks...It signals that
is a fvg on the 5m.... I like to see at least 3 or more 1m.....Conversely more maay turn into a 15m fvg or multiple 5m candles...

Heres a quick example from Oil only took half a sec to find a tradeable one...

A CRUDE GUIDE TO STOPPING ADDING TO LOSING TRADES
By Tom Hougaard
(Ladies - read this and substitute "the cow" with "the deadweight" )
So you add to losing trades, and you can't stop yourself? Maybe this analogy can help.
You fall in love = lovely trade setup
You hook up with the special one = you enter trade
Maybe things goes well for a while, maybe not...but see next point...

Things are not going well. The cow is bringing misery to your life (ladies, see above and substitute accordingly) = trade is really not going well
The cow is bringing you nothing but pain and fear and even hope she will turn out better but every time you hope for improvement, the cow turns utterly miserable...

Now pause...
Why the fuck would you want to propose to the cow now??? = adding to a loser

That is why I don't add to losing trades. I see my trades as relationships and if they make me miserable, I am NOT going to bloody ask them to "move in", am I?


See you tomorrow morning
Tom

The E/J experiment/journal
First flag yesterdays UK session shaped up to be a Zeppelin. The following US session saw a break up for a trade -Later ( 7:15pm-ish) another Zeppelin forms around second flag ?
Maybe a third airship before flying up tp BRN and coming down around 7am UK time?
Levels.
Great stuff TT

Sp500 Should have paid more attention to the 200 ma ( "Roadmap") and avoided those silly longs. Last long was okay but 200ma bias would have still stood me in good stead.
"Yellow face" was a b/e trade. Loss after "yellow face" was where I was frightened out of a short that I got back into for profit. Last trade was a "lucky long through ignorance despite going against 200ma.
