Summer trading often reverses or at leasts teases with daily biases - certainly keeps you on your toes.
Thanks for the feedback as always.

Why does summer trading have this affect on the markets? Are school kids trading their parents money? I'm too much of novice to have seen this affect hold true. My 1st xmas trading just passed. Not a good time to be trading LOL.

I've seen a lot of acronyms floating around that are not referred to on page one. e.g QM, RBR, DBD. What do they mean?

QM = Quasimodo - it's a reversal pattern. It's not something I trade religiously, but in the right scenario it can be a good pattern. I've been over the setup on one of the price action vids on my website.

Other terminology....

RBR = Rally Base Rally
RBD = Rally Base Drop
DBR = Drop Base Rally
DBD = Drop Base Drop

They are just phrases (not developed by me I should add) to differentiate between different types of supply demand zones and represent sentiment shifts and decision points.

lol, traders going on holiday thus 'thin' liquidity causing choppy price movements.

I missed the FTB by a smidge, but playing the compression following the break of the 44's FLS instead.

Scaled out for a small net win, was really looking for a move to 1.2's. It could still fall but the reasoning for my trade has now diminished so moving on.

Currently long EURGBP based on the sellers trap of the M30 SR after hitting the demand shown on M15. I don't trust the flow on this pair at all so low risk and it's not behaving too well so far.

One that was too early for me but (was hoping it would trigger last night).

FTB @ a H1 SR and the break of a supply zone (note the good momentum of the breakout which is key).

Zoom into lower TF's to find where the decisions were made and can see that 22/23 was where the decision was made to break the SR and head lower. That immediate retest is great confirmation that this level is proven supply (imbalance over demand).

If the zone is strong enough then price should react at this first decision point. Thus this is where we enter and our SL goes above the next main zone i.e. the source of the actual move which is also a H4 SR.

Price could in theory not react at the lower decision point but hit the source of the move instead - it depends on how strong the zone is, but a lot more often than not the first reaction occurs at the lower decision point (of course price eventually coming back to hit the source of the move can present another trading opportunity).

Update - FLR hit took some profit, stopped out the remainder (final TP was near the 17's).

where did price fall from - the source of the supply and the H4 SR. As per Balhana's M30 chart there was nice compression into this area.
