that was last LH until it made a LL then this last LH is where we are at see where high of this LHis in same area as last LL before it went lower now if this area is broken then we will be going long after it pullsback. so we have a LL LH but not a LL yet a possible trend could happen unless we take out low the market will tip its hand and we just follow

Honestly, you're not doing something right somewhere along the line. I trade this method and this is about as reliable as it comes. This is pure price action trading with the trend (herd) and is VERY reliable and accurate.

yes that was a counter trend (the pullback) before it took out the swing taking direction to the short side you can counter trend and find trades also but that takes some practice in fact there were a few setups there to short

but i don't see the difference between these 2 in my post #363. Wouldn't it be counter trend trade if we enter after the break of 3765 level (first pic in #363)?

it would be a counter trend to start but once last HL is taken out then it becomes a down trend. heres a question suppose that last HL wasnt taken out well price would have moved up from there instead of where it is now make sense?

I do. I will be with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in Heaven.
"And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life." 1 John 5:11-13
