there will always be road blocks in ltf.
if price goes up, need not wait to hit sl.
can judge and see whether to exit if breaking ltf bearish engulf.
if in doubt refer to htf frame.
htf price went up from d1 bullish engulf and my target is d1 bearish engulf.
same thing, i need not to wait for price to reach the target.
because the target is just for direction.
i can profit before reaching target anytime.
now expect to target the d1 bullish engulf.

Hello Heispark,

You are a senior member here and holds good trading experience, and I hold great respect for your experience. I've observed that you frequently inquire about topics such as trend continuation trading and counter trading, among other things. I've also noticed that you emphasize the significance of recognizing reversal patterns, which can run contrary to the strategies advocated by highly-educated technical analysts.
I find myself pondering whether it is fair to question the ethics of traders who engage in counter trading, provided that they do so prudently with appropriate stop-loss measures. Is it, in fact, a transgression? And should it be contingent upon the daily market sentiment, whether it leans bullish or bearish?

Ser, please don't get offend with my message, I would like to know the thought process behind your questioning.

Green pips to all
If you believe in yourself anything is possible !!

Hi,
I am sorry but I am not very sure what you're talking about... Confused with someone else? As far as day trading concerned, I never be a good trader and never be seriously involved with day trading. To be honest, I think day trading is a loser's game and a waste of time. Recently, I am jumping in here and there in FF just for fun upon boredom. That's it. I will retreat to my cave soon again. Anyway, this thread is useful I think and I hope you can learn many things from OP.
Good luck!

Rules (1) Go to htf w1, d1, h4 and find engulf for the price direction flow. (2) Go to h1, m30 and find engulf or engulf fail set up around the current market price. Entry upon retest of engulf or engulf fail zone. Zone as SL (40 pips maximum). TP at opposite engulf or support / resistant. (3) If you want to precise your entry or have a smaller SL, then when price retraces to the set up zone of (2) above, go to 1 or 2 time frame lower for the same process as in (2) above to find set up. As it is of a much smaller time frame, it is better that the...

I like this top down approach by the OP very much

(1) Go to htf w1, d1, h4 and find engulf for the price direction flow.

You can still be wrong 1% of the time .... If you do not know the Weekly engulfing that is a Weekly Control Candle
