dont know b**@gr all about how to save.. have tried but any file i save to wont let me access it
Do as Cloggie says, Save as picture and save it to your Desktop .. that way you can't lose it. IF you don't know how to save to a specific location, let us know.

I am putting the old one back up. Nice little scenario to play out. I do like the M30 as guide for intraday plays. Lots of "if-then" plays to find here.

I will quantify the "IF-Then's"

1. Right now scalp the inside triangle of the range, like some already have, not my style.

2. Wait for the top of yesterday's range to go so we can go back to today's action, lock in your profits once the range is entered and put your stop initially just below the top of yesterday's play.

3. Wait for the bottom to go to short to the lTL, locking in your profits with a stop just above the bottom of yesterday's range and see if the lTL forms support or not.

2 and 3 are 90/10 trades and when properly managed and confirmed, being mindful of the fake 'n shakes will be in the money.

5 attempts by price on that zone of resistance around yesterday's Hi and 5 x rejections, the last being helped by the $ buying on better than expected U.s ADP NFP forecast...price dropping through yesterday's pullback lo to yesterday's lo area where it has found some demand...although resistance currently being encountered at that previous support...which will out ? support or SBR ?? (support becomes resistance)

Cloggie - hope you don't mind a personal question...how's your asschart shaping up? LOL.

It looks like todays move across the chart means we're coming close to the trend line / channel on the h4. Could come into play tomorrow

That is the next key level, which also corresponds to the 3 scenarios I posted a few posts ago as the lTL to watch for as a short play, it all ties in together. Trading Cable is not as random as it seems at first.

Scenario 3 is playing out now, levels to watch are the earlier fake out at 5861 and the lTL at roughly 5853. A pure If-Then setup, If 5861 gives 5853 is next, If 5861 holds, this is another fake 'n shake. How do you know, look at your M5 and let the PA tell you. Watch the candles, the clue is in there.

OK then could you definte an inside TL .. I thought I knew what it was, but I must be wrong..
Is it a TL that is drawn between two major TL's on higher timeframes?

No, it is a TL that joins 2 interupted trends in the direction of the larger trend. The ones I put in the template are possible scenarios of the earlier move that veered away from the larger trend due to the large move on Monday. All these two are doing are judging the likelyhood of normal play resuming. How do I know whether they are in the right place? Price will tell me. It is part of my scenario play to find the high probability trades within the current PA.

I am putting a lot of significance on the bottom one as it coincides with the H4 one and with major support here.

Why do I need to repeat 3 perfect scenarios one that I even further quantified with intermediate levels that can be traded from here?

This is not Cloggie's trading journal. Trade your own plan, strategy and MM.

I like this scenario setting...what's behind door no.1? Ha!

So, just wait for price to pick the door and make sure I get on board looking for the next significant area...shame I'm off out in a minute as looks like I might miss this one play out. Ho hum.

That's it, at every price level you should have different scenarios planned that you have researched and thought about and that you will follow blindly once one of them occur. That in a nutshell is trading with no bias and no emotion. Each scenario should have properly researched and warranted levels of intermediate play that you can use to either move your stops or take your profit.

Once a trend is established the levels become greater and easier to spot. Right now we are countertrending of the larger trend and you should be very careful in what levels to use and keep your stops tight.

What we are doing now is quantifying the move for the next day or two based on what level we are going to reach at end of business today. A break of the low would make countertrending tomorrow a lot easier and less risk.
