honestly I closed because I got lost inside the 5 min timeframe I saw 5min engulf within a 15 min engulf within a 1hr engulf so I thought he wants to go down.
this was just a simulation exercise i was doing to see how price moves from zone to zone
My intention here was to monitor price action within the zone in a live environment and make decisions. It is only training.
I dont even like this 15 min 5 min timeframe. I never trade below 30 min.

for those who still want to hold will have to monitor m15/m5 for an engulf sell. however you are taking more risk the longer you stay in the market. {image}
m5 exit but m15 still on the run.

Absolutely. My mind was blown from that video. I am grateful to the teacher and to you for sharing us that gem.

what is RB?
your target is at the top some where 2034?
when the current market price is inside the h4 red bearish eg, how would you handle the situation?
or you have a set and forget buy, either hit TP or SL?

I took that trade based on daily TF, looking to trade up to daily EG, SL is at BE, Oh RB is what I all a road block, if it breaks that is where my SL will be moved to.
