Possibility of bounce up from D pivot
will establish shorts below the pivot
My added positions were quite heavy, so I took the profits after the first failure to follow the market structure on M1, M5 is trying to get out of play for the shorts. will wait until M5 lines up again
Please remember that trend on M4 is well to the upside, so taking the profits with care and when they are there

PA moved too fast to record shorts, have just followed PA and 3 ZZ semafor on M1 when Market structure printed I have explained I use zz semafor in conjunction with market structure, as an easy determination when the previous L (in this case) has been taken, it is not thoughtless and automatic reaction, as explained sometime ago.
I use it as a tool that is a possibly useful description, before someone comes to the conclusion that it is some cat in a black sack, which mysteriously makes profits, or makes me taking trades just because of it.

Taking profits below mS1 D 38805 close to S1 D
PA is getting close to the bottom of EMA100 fib channel

I am flat, coffee time
Lower than the 5 day average volume, so low participation on this move down
Session candles looking interesting, will post the charts later, atm looks like a 3rd touch of the bottom range, so have to be careful with further shorts

This is what happens on a day with low participation, of course MM participation is vital as always one never really knows.

Low participation and M5 Pinocchio bar after the Fib EMA channel has been hit, displayed on M1 TF.
I find that channel worth observing and the PA around it, on TFs I use, of course higher TF bigger move is on cards.
This is M1 TF with M-Candles imposed on M1 PA , M-Candles set to 5 on this chart, so be not confused. It is basically two TFs PA displayed on one chart, I find it useful. I use other charting software which also displays zones, and objects drawn on one chart on a particular TF and can display that on all open charts of that same traded instrument, INHO very useful.

The colours of these M-Candles change due to the displayer NYSE session candle.
I have this NYSE session candles displayed on all TF up to and including H1, but M30 TF is the best suited for these Session candles.



Still a bit unfocussed, after the holiday and other important stuff on my head today, but overall a good day.

Possible divergence is being printed between PA and Stochastics - this is another very useful application of oscillator - in this case stochastics. I shall see tomorrow this printing progress, bur I am aware of that possibility. There are different types of diversions, this is a common one, and in this case pointing towards continuation of the trend on H4. Obviously there are other things to consider and I shall be looking for confluence.
It will be important what happens tomorrow at London session, before NYSE open, if there will be some gaps, ect

Still hold DOW JUN2024 longs, might hold it for longer as they do not attract night interest on the leverage
DOW cash was a quick trade b4 NYSE open
It looks like a set up for taking longs, shall see what the data release do and hoe thing align
If there are going to be shorting opportunities, these DOW JUN2024 Longs will act as a hedge
