What play they did to get the low of the range OMG.
All day...
But honestly could had flip both sides after so many sweeps, despite ended in favor of the actual trend...
After pass by charts, see 3 manipulations... NO TRADE!
Is when market conditions say STAY AWAY.
When we have a plan and price is fighting is when anyone should not fight and move on...
I imagine how many stops they catch today, just by those that overtrade even when go against his initial plan...
I feel sorry for those who don't get this message and end up losing money, but I have to admit that they are stubborn too, and trading doesn't tolerate that.
Despite miss the move to my initial runner trade by some points, i am not sorry be away.
We are at important daily and weekly levels, i prefer wait for daily tell next story now, since 4h is beeing a bad girl...

And by the way, we should had gone bearish much more cleaner than this, personal opinion... After yesterday daily rejection.... Anyone should be suspicious at some point, i did despite the outcome...

How can you see bullish confluences in all TF's?
1h is bearish since 4888 1st place...
4h is breaking bullish closes, Monday was breaked downside this week...
Sorry by your losses, but confluences where?
Not to mention weekly 2 week in a row tryng to follow thru and bears don't let that happen... Only by this is weekly signaling want go lower, than any lower bullish confluences become not so true...
The thing people should do is lower the risk at least...
Sorry if you think i am beeing rude, i am not, but explaining that your approach was wrong...

I don't really remember how many times I've lost all my capital But thing is to learn from your mistakes. Of course mostly my capital was less than 1,000 but losing everything still hits hard, no matter if your capital is 100 or 100,000, it's about how much you can put on Forex.
And of course as Deal said, the first thing you need to learn is Risk Management Don't get greedy, better to win 5 dollars than lose 100 in hope of winning 50, or worse to lose everything.

Exactly... We can have confidence in our bias but when for any reason something is telling the opposite there are two options!
No trade or lower our exposure...
Here i call it by divergence, can be between patterns or tf's, and to me is a rule that i always aplly, no trade or reduce risk...
The same as the confluences are so strong and level up and no more than 2%, was not his case unfortunately, there were here good traders saying that we potential go bearish, so at least reduce the risk...
Others granting a bias, there are no such thing particulary this couple of weeks.

Let's give a short example....
We are in the range that you guys see at daily, that is also an weekly fractal close.
So as i always say, fractal of weekly is daily, by this daily is the clue.
Applying my prefered rejection at any level, you guys can see that a bearish rejection mean next a bullish candle, and a bullish rejection bearish candle...
Not always but is where the probabilities are...
Do i trust always on them? Hell no! I need lower to respect it too or any session pattern like i played today...
But this can be used to any candle, any candle is a range by itself i just find best probabilities at the closes after tried the open by months...
If they align i have a bias, if they don't is where my risk get lower or no trade.
Is hard not have a trade because london window and is always my backup, but i have days barely trade, can read price but without confidence i don't trade.

No fancy things or narratives, open and closes.


EDIT: And if they don't respect this simple pattern, means strong trend and most likely that rejection will be tested.. Simple price pattern... Test it, will help many of you that don't know how get a bias... Is not prefect, but is consistent... Some times you guys will see be sweeped, is what they do sometimes, but the signal is there...

EDIT 2: Weekly example... The sign was given as potential move down... Bias were not wrong next week despite bullish... It means sellers coming in or at the zone... And is fractal... Don't be greedy, they just need to test prior close...
And even that week give 50% move...
People remember me saying 4833 but i liked more 50% of the fractal and was where they go before really come down... I accepted that at weekly. Never look to one side or one level only.
Fractal close have high/low and 50%...

Should have broken down cleaner than this but yes this was predictable. Lower highs since today open . Hopefully we break down when gold opens. Structure is clean bullish imo but we may sweep 4620 before going higher.

You will never be bullish untill bulls don't break Monday high..Take note!
You can go higher and eventually shift, but only after this happen at daily...

At weekly 5042.740...

And as bullish to not be greedy a tap at 4715.780 is expected, not because is last day broken, is not an ordinary day, is a failed fractal, are magnets, but if print continuation are powerfull...

Potential test of 2 levels... 721 and 715 lined up
again with a two 50% weekly fractal close

My friend with tech keep an eye on the news too, gold reacts fast to news in war times. Also track US 2 & 10 years yield

Happy Trading

I still see as possible 4650 at daily, but not expect close below this week, not make me sense or better is unusual...
By volatility we reach it, by daily it can be a bad girl...
But never say never...
Scalp only too...

I am waiting to see what WTI does before anything rejected supply 3 times now including a monthly VWAP touch I'm leaning gold longs... but hands are off the keys for now! I want to see a proper closure above demand first!
