Hello Sir, I found this post to be very good and have spent some time reading through more than 50 pages. However, because I am Chinese and my level of English is quite limited, and using translation software doesn't always provide accurate translations, I'm having some difficulty understanding it. I've tried drawing a few pictures based on my understanding. Could you please check if they are correct? Thank you.Hello Sir, I found this post to be very good and have spent some time reading through more than 50 pages.

Let's see if m15 is more kind, bouncing of H1 swinglevel + bear support.

Bingo. Not the Div that made the price move but a bearish HD saved the day. Correct ZOO-level none the less.

Jumped on the M5 and put a tester buy trade on which kicked me out for 3 pips. Went in again and managed to get +32 this time round. Just short of my 40 pip target. Till tomorrow.

Been setting up a brand-new PC system during this hot weather spell so I have been a tad absent.

Only got one monitor running at the moment but just about managing.

This is the plotting I have for the 1-hour chart = an ABCD followed by an AB=CD. Nice to have the two side by side to show you all the difference.

I meant to mention the 4 hour has a bear div suggesting a return to the EMA. Too late now as it has now done that.

My only trade so far this week. A scalp towards H1 Ema after a two bar test around D-level, together with m5 bull divs at swing level.

I most certainly did not. Was stopped out an hour before the real turn.

I don't understand how on earth you can be stopped out.

The target was 58 pips...
The stop was 29 pips...

This is for a 1% loss v's a 2% win
You could risk 2% for a 4% win if you wish.

It was not even close to a stop out.

It is important not to crowd your trade by putting the stop to close. Once we get it to BE+1 we can turn off the PC and check the result later in the day.

Sometimes we win sometimes we lose and some are just BE's

Hopefully this is the HOOK forming to retest the bull div on the 5 min.

This is why we move the stop to BE+1 because the test may be successful, and we don't want to be caught with our pants down.

If the price does turn back up and makes the HH then we can start to lock in some profit.

Yes unfortunately I was in the divs prior to that one. about 3 hours before.

I do however agree with not using the correct stop-size, from not really following "test the opposite side". Shall start thinking bigger picture from now.
