Tempted to short NU.... but no new entry at this time of night.

EDIT: Maybe LJ is already in this... or FLS is too close for him to enter?

I did have an order @ 0.7620, SL @ 0.7634 but had to pop out so cancelled it. Value wasn't great, but better than a similar setup on NJ @ 60.54 so just about passable.

Closed the rest at 1.2785 for +58 pips (+88 pips in total). My final target was 1.2795 but closed it a bit early because it looked like some correction started.
Some nice trade management on EU and UCAD trades, true price action trading at its best.

There was also a sellers trap on EU H1 which, just like UCAD indicated a move into the previous compressed area you marked. Lastly also had S&P hitting 1309 resistance zone as confluence

I think it was tradable... it seems to me that it is a typical CP+LQ into supply zone on 1M chart.

Very nice explanation! I didn't notice the sellers trap on EU 1H.

We have a bullish daily pin bar on GU. I think many J16 traders have placed pending buy orders, waiting for a break of the pin bar....

How to utilize this pin bar tomorrow???

Hello LJ, I've got a question for you about my Fiber trade of today. My intentions was to trade that daily BUOB on a pullback to its previous bar high, (which served as resistance multiple times on the 1H-TF) I didn't catch that pullback cose it took place during the Tokyo session, so I then waited for another pullback to the decision point when price decided to break all those 1H-bar highs and thereby generating a daily BUOB. I thought I found a nice decision point (RBR-demand) in the 5m-TF, but as price arrived here it totally ignored this demand, instead price reacted at a lower 15m-demand and price stopped me out. So was this RBR-demand not a decision point ?

Regards,

After being stopped out on my first trade, I then entered at the lower 15m-demand on the 1m-TF, price made a nice QM, i entered on a beartrap bar completing the QM. Closed all when price hit the high of my daily BUOB.

Hi xmzhang,

I'm not LJ but just my two cents.

1) I don't think the 5M RBR demand was totally ignored. If you drew a bit bigger RBR box covering the candle wicks, then you can see some reaction there.

2) There were stacked zones (5M demand & 15M demand), which are close to each other. In this case, this is often times used as a trap. The higher zone gets you in a buy, and then price spikes the lower zone and rally. This may or may not happen but we should be aware of it, IMO.

I simply chose the higher TF demand (15M demand rather than 5M) in this case. If I want to enter a trade on the higher zone, then I place my stop below the lower zone, and may add on the lower zone.

Anyway, I do like your re-entry based on 1M QM.

Good afernoon Balhana,
Yes, this sounds very logical to me, sometimes drawing the boundaries of a S/D-zone confuses me a lot. Isn't there a fixed rule how to draw these S/D boxes. Anyway thanx for your enlightening explanation

If you look at that zone on M1 and then where price reacted you can see that this zone did indeed act as demand. A descending triangle pattern formed then price moved quickly down to the lower demand zone which was quickly rejected as we would expect.

I nearly always incorporate wicks into my SD zones as these represent where the decision was made to move higher/lower and where we can first expect supply/demand on the retest - unless of course the wick is more of an outlier away from the main zone.

Very nice QM entry.

Nice M15 sellers trap formed too.

Same sellers trap formed on the Dow Futures too as supporting confluence.

Thanx very much for your detailed explanation, yes i see now, had I included that upper wick of that 5m-RBR demand (as Balhana also said) then I could've seen that price hit that demand as a descending triangle and price was bound to break that demand. When trading on the lowest TF like the 1m then the boundaries of S/D must be very strict, the difference in this example is about 2 pips and it made the difference between a BE or losing trade.

LOL, I took the same trade, I didn't see that 15m-demand though. My entry was due to that 15m-PB @ RNB 7600, zooming into the 1m-TF I saw a potential QM, waited for price to pull back to the left eye of that PB and entered @ 1m-PB, more or less a James PA type of trade

I'm in this trade too after the M15 sellers trap. Am giving it some room given the daily BUOB's formed on Dow and S&P yesterday.

M1 had a nice example of compression into demand.

Just don't like price action at the moment. Moved my SL to BE+1 (just below 1M demand).
