Completely agree.

Whatever news. We are at a great setup. Bullflag at source pole demand.

Closed long scalp for a few.

..
exactly - flag ending at demand, REDstyle

taking low risk short - stop above s/r
the way it short of based before reaching the zone always puzzle me in similar situations. even though it didnt create a good base it has left possible reaction areas. i think arrival is the very important as it defines the first target TP. how do you approach these trades? if i jump in i look for a scalp, if i wait for confirmation it is usually too late. i dont have a clear strategy for taking these so i would like to hear what more experienced players do.
thanks.
edit: just saw this was a 1M chart, but i talk about similar situations on M15 and up

i am taking some off here as low taken out and we may get a bullish reversal.
rest out at entry. sellers may still have some strength. was that a bear trap?

confirmation for me is how price previously left the area or how its evolving.

we need to know where demand/supply levels are on our chart. then we must buy at demand OR if there is no demand showing, we become sellers. reverse for selling.

screen time and back testing is key. explore your charts > opportunities are everywhere. find them. trade them. repeat.

ic, i suppose you are aware of this HTF zone while you play M1
if you would become straight away a seller at this you would get caught up. sometimes SD zones get pierced but still react, if i see them pierced i stay aside and watch.

i play 1M sometimes to get a better understanding of price structure and early signs of possible turning points in each market. 1M is the heartbeat of the mkt

if we move up in price by one tick, we move on every chart - 1M/5M/1H/4H/D

1M is just another perspective in the greater picture. if we only zoom into 1M then we expose ourselves to over trading and a less understanding of reality.

we can make a lot of money with a few trades, so trade positive expectation.

stay on the sidelines if there are better opportunities just around the corner.

Red has left a blueprint. its easier than u think/harder than you can imagine?

It's rare I pay attention to news but we got AU un/employment rate. Will cause some opportunity for us at some level/zone. Where are we now? Demand. Probably going to be good news. We'll see. Price will say.
Same old setup. Did I need to know it was good news?? Haven't checked yet... all I know is THAT IT WAS AT DEMAND.

Didn't enter long. Trading psychology shit.. still working on it.

If the news would have been different, it would have dropped and you would have suffered a large loss.
I don't think that news time is the time to trade.
There is plenty of time/opportunities after the dust settles.
