hi traders
i try not to post my own trades anymore.
i post only when there is some participation from traders.
i find that it is more meaningful to answer any queries to clarify doubts.
also provide my mapping for comparison to those who participates.
if there is no participation then it will be quiet here.
i let it run its natural course.

that is a h1 roadblock.
as usual if inside a roadblock there is ltf bullish engulf you can scalp.
the h1 zone is very near the d1 top zone.
i am looking for d1 bearish eg to bullish eg.

Don't know if it is correct, please tell me the error {image}
when price entered h1 bearish engulf, switch 1 or 2 tf lower (m30 or m15).
when price entered m15 bearish engulf, switch 1 or 2 tf lower (m5 or m1. newbie don't touch m1).

however you skipped m15 and gone straight to m5.
if you want to take early entries with small time frames, then you have to be comfortable to accept the higher risks.
if you used m5 bearish engulf only, there were 2 entries with 1 loss.
if you prefer to slow down and take safer entry, wait for m5 engulf fail and retrace to engulf.
if you prefer to stay in m15, there is also an engulf entry.
