If no turnaround happens within the next 30 mins, then the session is over for me.

It did turn, now we have to see if the move sustains and the LHF will be yesterday's high. Sorry, I can't post any chart now, away from my desktop.

Some critical observations, are to increase the odds in our favor, for a tighter SL and swift return (The less you stay in the trade the better).

 

  1. TIME.
  2. HTF zone.
  3. Precise the potential trade setup zone (OTE).
  4. Wait for an EF
  5. Enter always @ the backside of a TL.

- i use engulf for 2 candles as per picture 1 at the bottom. - Engulf does not apply to 2 candles only, it can be in multiple candles variations as per picture 2 at the bottom. eg. the same 2 candles engulf in d1 appears as multiple candles in h4. - Engulf becomes Engulf Fail acting like a break of structure as per picuture 3 at the bottom. Get to know the overall concept in these 2 videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3HzzQroNz8&t=42s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYXx...qTDACQXAhqvXAT Rules...

i would prefer a swing high to be broken to indicate some willingness to go up

Out at breakeven+. Should have exited when it couldn't break structure and price went from engulf to engulf. At least I don't have to deal with a loss.

If I don't chase and I follow my rules and enter in the trade control zone, I can manage the trade where I can get a free trade.
