MTF Engulf / Engulf fail

GU @ an MTF resistance.

today monthly closing.
pretty bad month for me so far.
sometime bias correct but hesitate and miss ,
or stubborn and rush enter bfr session start and stop out.
jpy pretty strong recently

IMO, sticking to a plan and following the plan like a robot is challenging. Psychology is a bitch.

it is all about how one interprets the mapping. the higher time frame direction.
if one gets it wrong, then it's wrong.
yesterday daily candle bounced up from support heading to resistant.
daily could be too far away for a target.
the h4 then comes into play. price is heading up to a h4 resistant the yellow box zone.
if you put a fib on the daily down trend, price went up and paused at fib 62.
if you put a fib on the h4 up trend, price went down and paused at fib 62.
just using d1 and h4, yesterday when h4 reached d1 support, it bounced up.
that's why i always say when price returns to a htf support or bullish engulf, go down one or two time frames lower to see the price action.
the h4 showing accumulation with higher lows to head towards the h4 resistant.
and if successful in breaking it, going to head towards d1 resistant.
if not successful, price is going down towards h4 support.
so one also needs to interprets the lower time frames price action at those marked support and resistant zones.

and today is an up day, h4 aligns with d1.
so buy only. when price reached resistant, wait for retracement and buy only.
however many traders as usual would want to trade both directions.
and would hold counter trend trades too long hoping to get hundred pips but price returns to entry and yet still holding.
it will take years if not decade to understand these.

gold h4 support to h4 resistant towards target.

gold buy trades. h4 buy to h4 sell.
we do not know when price will go up, so spread out and accumulate trades in m15 buy zone.
i was still sleeping during asia morning.

thank for the advice
@fxpider and @inthebox
Will slowly gain back my loss and do more mapping.
this trade based on 4h /1h eg bounce.
and strong displacement,
didnt retrace to 1-5 m fvg , i enter at 5m eg

let's all come here to do and show the d1(or w1) and h4 mapping everyday.
for time frames lower than that, it's up to individuals to monitor when they have the time to trade.

i only more time to watch at NY and busy during day time.
that why sometime i rush to enter bfr ff and LO during afternoon.

what's the solution then.
trade once a day.
during new york session when you can focus.
the rest of the time is just forced trades. for that, you cut down your losses.

someone asked whether there were clear reasons why gold dropped on 25nov.
how many confluences were there?

going out.
today is friday. gold could form a high during new york session.
see the d1 buy to d1 sell?

D1 buy UJ.
15m strong displacement, but some RB at here and near 4H EF.

gold watching

no move no entry

where's the QM?

i don't see the QM on the m1; i see price reversed at an h4 level in that ef h4

qm in m1 line chart formed around h4 support and m15 buy.
tp 1 or 2 tf up resistant m15 bsl.
