Technically speaking, I base my trades primarily on S&R. I also look at fibonacci and fibonacci patterns. It is also a very good idea to understand basic fundementals, and current market sentiment.

Beyond these I see no evidence that other tools play a role in determining price action in any tradable way. I am interested to see what other traders have to say on this point.
In my opinion you have the right approach there.

Reason I closed fast on this trade...sentiment is changing to fast today...meaning any trade taking from an intraday perspective is a trade that must be protected closesly due to that. Unless I take longer term trades

Nice scalping sherm , I see support becoming resistance and vicaversa a few times on the 1hr. Was that the reason for taking this level.

Long EUR/USD at 1.3209. Likely a scalp, or i might take partial profits and let some ride.

Very few.

This thread like every other on FF has ended up being polluted by alternative interpretations of the original strategy.

However the market conditions have changed since this thread was created so I like many others have my own approach to NBT to reflect this. BRV did offer a number of choices in terms of how to apply his strategy but the principles remain the same regardless of what timeframe, lot size, stoploss or RR ratio you use and whether you favour reversals or breakouts.

The key is to find out exactly what works for you and stick to it.

I could call an exact price reversal level on here and everyone would get a slightly different result with it.

Education teaches you the rules, experience teaches you the exceptions.
