nothing is happening now, most of the pairs are consolidating. Hopefully, the beginning of the new hour will bring in some orders.

This is The Dead Zone that I posted about on my Thread. This is a time to sit out and prepare for the US session.
Your trade order needs to be in the right place at the right time.

{quote} Please correct me, if I got it wrong. 1. We are using engulfs across 3 TFs. 2. The Higher TF engulf is for the Directional flow. 3. The Mid TF engulf is for the Setup. 4. The Lower TF engulf is for the Entry. 5. TP will be the most recent opposite engulf in the SETUP TF (MID TF). Also, what are the criteria to choose the TFs?

trade set up can be 2 tf combo. eg h4 / m30
it can also be more than 3 tf combo. eg. d1, h4, m30, m5, m1.
if the market gives a combo set up in 2 tf and you are satisfied with the stop loss range, then go ahead. no need to go lower tf.
if the market gives a combo set up in 3 tf and you find that the stop loss needs to be 40 pips and you are not willing to have that,
then go lower to 1 or 2 time frames to satisfy your stop loss range.
there is flexibility for all kinds of traders and market conditions.
what is for trader A may not be applied to trader B.
each one has a different risk tolerance.

Thank you very much for your reply. I can understand that 4H engulfing determines the direction, entry is at 30M or less, and there is no need to look at the direction of D1 or a larger period, right? Also should I just focus on engulfing key locations?

not right.
h4 is the lowest time frame you use to determine direction.
i wrote before that what time frames aligning to look for beginning of the week, beginning of the day, intraday, etc............
have you read it?
search for it. some where this month.
also watch the youtube video i posted this month.
then revisit post 1.

I would not go long. The bigger picture structure is broken. The momentum is on the downside.

I second that, if clearly review the past few weeks charts US30, NQ etc all Indices are in great bull run made ATH, as OP said no respect of resistance just scalp for FIFO.

I will be watching the PA around the fib 0.786 very closely. That level has multiple confluences.

  1. EG
  2. BPR(FVG)
  3. Flip zone

Hopefully, they will leave the price there for the ASIA OPEN.
