I was thinking the same. There needs to be liquidity sweep before we move upwards.
Is it too risky to enter once liquidity has been swept?
For example straight after the big engulfing candle on 1min 13:52GMT with SL the candle?
Logic liquidity swept and no reason to go any lower???
Thanks IBT

the rbp already shows liquidity sweep albeit a minor one.
price may not drop for liquidity below then you miss out trade.
you can always do a dca. best of both worlds.
you have to draw on your past trading experience to take the trade or not. also that's what SL is for.

Thanks mate.
I am really impatient. I have no patience for winning trades and lots of patience for losing ones Should flip it around I know
I tried last week doubling down my losing position and went to -800 which left a mark on me.
I think instead of doubling I should just open another one like you were doing on your demo account in January.

{quote} tell me what time frames that you are looking at.
I do the 4H EG and after that looking at 1 min but zoom out.
I think I see too many opportunities on 1min and should jump to 5 mins. But in my defence I feel when there is a trend even on 1 min you can see it clearly 1 min EG working
The problem is when the trend is against me

look through today what i had demonstrated using h4 - m30 - m5 - rpg.
hey you skipped so many steps jumping from h4 to m1 and expect to win?
fix m5 as your entry time frame. do not look lower than that.
put in the lowest possible position size 0.01 and learn to build up your trust in this method.

On this last M5 I would have probably entered on the dotted line of the rectangle and taken out by the liquidity sweep later.
You are absolutely right that I have skipped steps and I shouldn't do that especially when I can see the RBP works
I really need to sit down on my hands once I enter a trade and let it play out. Thank you again.
We all appreciate your help and explanations

I think you entered in non discount area. I would have waited till 0.5 or 0.618 fib.
Usually if it's a strong trend the price just drops to 0.236 and keeps going up.
Correct me if I am wrong guys.

I would have entered there too.
IMO, it was just a failed setup, testing your risk management model.
However, in hindsight, I have noticed a opposing RBP that should have been a red flag.

the fastest set up is from using htf h4 and drill down. i prefer h1/m30. {image}
continuing with yesterday's illustration although now not at the appropriate time.
price can still be developing and invalid the set up.
a ef with eg is similar to rbp.
