Hello guys Here is my trades today, I am yet to trade on live account yet. Starting out with $500 USD with 0.01 per lot, so here is todays trade my buy and sell setup has been adjusted not on market structure shift but when there is an engulfing, seen much success with tis so far. my target with usually be at the next liquidity level.

I wont go below the 5 minutes timeframe. lets see how this goes this week. Starting tomorrow I will go into the trade.
I use a combination of C2 closure at a POI, look for 5 minutes timeframe for buy/sell setup on ITB riverband setup, then I look for an entry for a continuation

ITB has spoken about trade controls and this has informed how I take trades if the 1H isnt giving me signals to take a trade. I simply do not switch to lower timeframe to get into a position. In his own case he said H1/M30 in my own case for the moment, I use 1H TF for now

Nice plan and clear setup. However, I hope that you have already sorted out your entry.
The execution during the live trading generally gets challenging than the hindsight analysis.
All the best.

I tried the same setup in the live trading environment last week they were quite amazing. as it is I have a C2 Closure but the next hourly candle is yet to provide me with a continuation trade.

I have eliminated the hourly buy setup to be buy zones, which can be found with the purple line drawn on my chart.
Then the buy setup on 5mins has been setup for me. I might look reluctant to take this setup because gold has extended beyond the daily ATR, but if I am not up in the day I will simply wait for 1H closure which coincides with my model

First win of the day, my scenario:
1. First C2 closure on H1 at hourly resistance POT a continuation, the second C2 closure did provide a continuation with an imbalance I needed
2. Looking at 5 mins TF its a riverband pattern for a sell continuation, my target was at the support of the hourly range 162pips secured

Seriously a nice clean trade with a minimum drawdown. Well done.

On the other hand, I had some FOMO entries but the end result was a true FxSpider Net.

Today GOLD might see a rare RED day unless ~4605 is broken.

This is holding like a brick wall. If can be broken, a downside potential of 650 pips.

could you explain your first sentence a bit more, thx? What's a C2 closure? What do you mean by: "at hourly resistance POT a continuation"? The riverband pattern is clear to me, great entry.
