very good,

i see you have worked with averaging.

so in the meantime you have high losses, which is often difficult psychologically.

but in the end there can be nice profits.
trading is like dancing, don't think and just listen to the music!

It's safe not to touch the JPY pairs until the RED NEWS event, scheduled for tomorrow. IMO.

I find that averaging is a great entry method, as long as the MAX LOSS and the NUMBER of POSITION are capped.
I also use Sniper entry but only for scalping.

Either way, a DD is part of the game, I guess.

BPR: Another ICT concept, related to EG. When an FVG is engulfed by an inverse FVG, the overlapped FVG area is the Balanced Price Range (BPR) that adds more confluences than a stand-alone FVG.

(sorry last pic the text didnt save)
I still have some doubt on entry technique. I am more towards precise entry / re-entry then averaging.
When the price "retest" a EG zone, we will never sure that if the price reject or breakthrough the zone, am I getting this right?
What we have is a higher chance that the price will react, based on HTF bias, that big buying/selling power is on our back

IMO, the precise entry is almost impossible. Sometimes, you might be lucky to get an optimal entry. But the fact is, no one knows how the price will behave. We just need the odds slightly to favor us to be profitable. In our case, it is the HTF EG/EF (buying/selling pressure in a zone) that we are relying on.

Some traders (proactive) look for the opportunity as soon as the price (LTF) enters the HTF EG/EF. And, the other type of trader (reactive) gets ready when the price is about to leave the zone. In either case, traders look for BoS, LTF EG/EF, QM, etc within the HTF zone for entry.

The proactive approach may give you a better seat (price) whereas the reactive approach may deliver a safer seat (since more confirmations). Regardless of the approach, the trade management and position sizing should sync with the trader's risk tolerance.

I hope it helps.

you do not require precise entry.
what you need is a bias direction and a helicopter view.
i show below by using h1 time frame (no need to go lower than that), there are already 3 buys.

relax trading.
look at chart at close of every hour.
buy at close of h1 if the set up indicates an entry trigger.

general entry time frames.
if you are looking for
1. 1 or 2 entries per week use h4.
2. 2 or 3 entries per week use h1.
3. use lower time frames for intraday.

Price was picking up liquidity from that free value gap.
There are many bearish daily engulfs. I think it makes more sense to wait for a sell setup.
