Got a little afternoon chart time - and after price had bounced and old zone and crossed another old and retested it - I took an entry and caught a good move up - making it a very nice day.

Still demo - but right now it's a process of gaining confidence in my entries.

I got two questions:

1:
What do you do in a case where youre wrong with an entry an you get taken out - but then price goes back down and comes up shortly after to retest the zone once again. Do you try again or do you wait until price reach a new zone that look more reliable?

2: What do you do when your wrong with an entry and price starts to trend - do you try to predict the top based on the left history or do you then try to look for zones in pullbacks, to get a good entry when price continues the trend. (I assume the latter is the correct answer)

Still on demo - but had a good first session of the day - 6,5% gain already locked in profit and have 2 runners with be+2 secured - and now I'm gonna go and do some shopping and might get on for a later session.

Had some bad entries that burned some of my initial profit - but learned from my mistakes and turned it around.

Now I just hope the runners will do their job - and if they don't it's okay - profit already secured.

Question 2 have been answered . For question 1 i would take new entries if the level is fresh. If this level has been tested multiple times I would avoid to keep milkin it. But sometimes in a retest 2 o 3 price tends to make some tests durin the process before it starts to move rejected and its fine to trade it

I admit - I overtraded today - trying to catch to many middle zones - and seeing wicks everywhere - And my brooker have server issues - so trades execution is fucked atm - so that also cause late entries and breakevens that did not more etc.
So good it's demo - will continue for a while this way to remove the bad habbits.

That's why my graph looks like a Tour de France stage

But overall for the two days I have tried trading this I have come out on top doubling the account using max 5% risk per execution.

Would say that an EA - for trade execution and management is crucial since gold moves fast sometimes.

Did a little scalping doing Asia open using the wick zones with good results.
Now off to bed.

Hi, ghbr, thanks for the thread, very impressive stuff. Just a little question. How do you mark the h1 magenta level on this example. Do you focus on the candle close/open rather than the wicks?

Hi Ghbdr.

In a situation like this, that we are in right now. Price did a good move down to a posible zone.
After having been in consolidation for a period of time.

Would you automatically push a buy once price reached this zone (yellow) Or would you rather wait for price to make new zone around (red)

On the 1 hour we are at an area where price could go down a while

After this type of consolidation price can go down with strength so I would avoid buys till new structure is created in HTfs. I wait to see wicks created and signs of rejection before consider any buy option
