Let me clarify what i meant by entry on European open, it means the trade entry is made from opening price of European market. right now is equivalent to London time 7pm.

tks @mel for the question

Today's VAL hold, great to see! As we did not go far away from today's VAH, I first had a short bias, but now it looks different. Let's see.

GU; 1st target reach at 6350, reduce exposure & raise stop above BE to 6315

EU slight positive, reduce exposure to 4215.
GU tested 2nd target of 6400 again, close out my position with 93pips..(6450 seems likely though)

nice GU trade!

yesterday's virgin POC at 4168 was almost tested. hoping for a further shakeout down to catch my buy limit at 4170 which is also near yesterday's VAL. price couls also fall to 4150 which is yesterday's VAL since it has been accepted back into value on the 30M.

EDIT: given UHV vol near DIBL, i adjusted my buy limit higher to 4182. Just pulled in. may need to give this one some room to breath, but i am thinking 2 options form here:

1. if price hangs around this level, then TP set to today's developing POC around 4240, since price filling LVN between 4240 and 4179.

2. if price moves up sooner and does not build too much value here, will keep for higher TP.

at the moment #2 seems more likely since current profile is P shaped - short covering - indicating higher prices.

Sorry, can't screen shot right now, will do so later.

It seems to be responsive selling today back down to VA now & tested of POC @ 4175..

It seems likely for price to test the VAL too.

Potential here is, if the VPOC of 4070 were to play out then I suspect a initiative sellers tomorrow could bring price down to VPOC, Since price now is below DVAL.

Given the lack of initiative selling today outside the IB extensions, i'm not convinced yesterday's naked POC will be touched just yet. We got a nice shakeout to 4177, the NY DIBL, which was heavily bought. this level is a close test to yesterday's wide range high vol bar as well, where buyers stepped in also. IMO it was a test of the sellers that were absorbed yesterday at this level.

yesterday's VAH was rejected as well, therefore the virgin POC may remain virgin until sellers are found higher up to drive the price back down...

But it doesn't look like price is being accepted back into today's VA either, so direction not really clear ATM, therefore sticking with the trend and SL set to BE+1 just in case.

SL hit. Per this post, EU starting to look bearish to me in the short term. Today's profile is no longer looking like a P shape but rather a non-trend profile.

watching PA in asia, weakness around 4240 area and i'm short to at least this week's VAL around 4160, and possibly down to last week's VAH in the 4015 area. That's a long way though, one step at a time...

Looks like we're creating a big range the last two days.

Hey guys

Took 4 entries today, the first two were no supply's at the 15m trigger for a responsive buy, moved my stop to break even as we got to today's developing value area low, stopped on those 2 for +0. Cautious with longs here, as we're at a major daily supply level that's just below a major weekly supply level.

I took two entries off of the 30m EU which is attached here, they're no demands. I entered these NDs not following climactic volume, so much as a rejection of the value area in combination with daily supply. Moving stops to break even as we take the virginity of yesterday's point of control.

The moving average on the (M30) chart is 24, and it doesn't contribute anything but the general 12 hour direction. It didn't influence my trades today. I do like to use 15m hull though to help me from trying to pick bottoms.

Not AMT but I wanted to clarify the supply levels I was talking about. Blue is monthly, yellow is weekly and the tan box is the daily supply.

Eu seems be stalling after some initiative selling. With yesterday's rejection of 4250, price then makes a ABC like correction..anyway strengths is building up now on 4150 as we speak.

Strategy for me will be to trade a break of 4220 or 4130. (Round off from 4217 & 4315 as shown in my chart.

Target to 4300 for long & 4050 (just below VPOC) for short. Initial Risk is 45 pips.

GU seems to be holding well with a normal balance initial profile that falls as an inside day. I am cautiously bullish for this pair for now...

Trade a break above 6400 or below 6330 (LVN). Target to long to 6450 & 6500. Shot target to 6250 & 6200.

Initial risk to trade is 50pips..

Edit: errata LVN is 6330 not 6300.
