hi lj..what do u think about this sd zone 3340..on eu h1
can u pls share some sdzone examples ,you have taken in longer time frames..recently
Okay got a bit of time before NY gets underway ... this would be my view on the SD zone on EU.

1. 15min TF - can clearly see the source of the move from this SD zone - I'd be interested in shorting this.

2. 5min you can see a support level just under.

3. 1min - you can see where the decision was made to break this support level

Both the lower level and the higher 'source' zone offer potential short opportunities.

It's just my preference - I find SD zones with a big imbalance easier on the VLTF's and I see S/R zones which have good FTB setups more clearly on the 1HR / 4HR TF.

All timeframes are valid though...none of this VLTF's are just noise rubbish that gets preached.

Here are the two FTB setups I've taken today - you'll know the result if you follow me on twitter - will post the 'after' charts later.

I live in Korea so I can open an account only at local companies according to the local law here in Korea. You need to ask someone else. Sorry.

Here is the dollar index chart I mentioned. BTW, my UC trade doesn't look good at the moment....

It's not really what I look for, its not a good fresh demand zone, there isnt a huge imbalance arising from that zone either.

If you zoom in you can see the zone that was responsible for the big Demand imbalance and the reason that price broke the SR just above.

That's the power of supply/demand, IMO. I prefer hourly setups, but it looked obvious to me this time.

Sold CAD/JPY at 82.20. Target = 81.87+ 0.061(spread) = 81.931, TP @ 81.95

Why 81.87? Because of 15M demand zone (not shown here) + FIB 61.8% + Daily close.

Colsed 1/1 at 81.15 (+5 pips). Time to go to bed. I don't want to have two open positions, both of which are CAD related.

All timeframes are valid though...none of this VLTF's are just noise rubbish that gets preached.

Here are the two FTB setups I've taken today - you'll know the result if you follow me on twitter - will post the 'after' charts later.
Summary of todays trades -as you can see FTSE and S&P trades worked out very well.

I also went long Silver due to the false break of the Daily SR which was also a nice false break on the 4HR combined with a good daily pin on the correlated Gold substance. Got caught in a trap on silver and cut for a loss when price closed below the 30.73 level - even pro's make mistakes from time to time

Went long ECAD due to the poor US data earlier - straight risk sentiment correlation trade.

Finally shorted (along with most of my trading room I reckon) ANZD based on FTB to the big daily level (with entry and SL identified on the LTF's).

Summary of all my positions and risk levels (varying risk is key IMO) as per a few requests:

1. Long 1% Silver @ 30.76, SL @ 30.58, Exit @ 30.68 -0.5R (-0.5%)

2. Short 2% FTSE @ 5758, SL @ 5770, Exit 70% @ 5747, 30% @ 5718 +1.6R (+3.2%)

3. Short 3% S&P @ 1396, SL @ 1400, Exit 60% @ 1394, Exit 40% @ 1390 + 0.9R (+2.7%)

4. Long 1% ECAD @ 1.2982, SL @ 1.2956, Exit 50% @ 1.3005, 50% @ 1.3027 + 1.3R (+1.3%)

5. Short 2% ANZD @ 1.2768, SL @ 1.2885, Exit @ 1.2749 + 1.1R (+2.2%)

A nice day (+4.4R / +8.9%), would have been double digit growth if had not made the error on the silver trade but can't complain with days like today.

These trades actually pretty much sum up the main types of trades I'm taking at the moment.

That's probably me done for the week - I'm quite into my 3-4 day weekends leading into the summer.
