Reasoning for my short as per charts below.

I'm also short GAUD (from 1.4978), but looking to bail out soon as this is not going to plan.
ENZD now approaching my first main TP area (it is the first demand area out of those marked that has not been tested).

My GAUD short was similar to ENZD - stacked supply zones with a compression wedge. I was looking for a bull trap off the higher supply and went short when we had the initial rejection - I needed to use a wider than usual SL because of the upcoming GBP data and potential for spread widening (which is routine at news time on Oanda) and a liquidity spike.

We got the good initial rejection but the data release caused a spike back up - I was looking for this to get quickly rejected again...it didn't and then we get a rejection M5 bar so I just decided that price wasn't doing as I expected off it (unlike ENZD) and to just bail out. Took a small loss as my SL was just above 1.5.

Ignore the long order this is a different trade setup.

I also added one more short at 1.5320 for the same reason.
Closed 2/3 (the lower entry) at 1.5250 for +120 pips for peace of mind.

I've pretty much done the same, 50% off at the first planned TP area.

Where is your SL now? Mine is 1.5300, which is a few pips above the high of the long 1H candle, but may close it depending on PA before price gets there.

You can see it in previous chart - the blue dashed line @ 1.5280 - just hid it above the former demand marked as a safety measure against a strong reversal - but am watching price action more than anything else.

Back in a GAUD short - M15 rejection following the bullish bar which then formed a H1 BEOB.

Sold CAD/JPY at 79.45

EDIT: One short only at the moment because both UJ and UCAD are right at support.

Maybe a bit premature but second position closed at 2nd planned TP area +4.9R for the trade.

Got sucked into taking 1/3 off for a loss which wasn't overly clever. Second 1/3 taken off at demand and now targeting price to break lower after the successful retest of the upper former demand turned supply.

What is that buy limit based on ??? And if its based on some demand level , why did you ignore all the demand levels in between ???

Reasoning for my short as per charts below...
"The people that give the strength of the trend / upmove as a main reason as to not take a trade don't understand price action and are part of the novice crowd".

I don't claim to be a professional, but stepping infront of this train brought some healthy pips

I was just about to post a chart of UJ as a setup I missed whilst managing the GAUD, ENZD trades...

A perfect example of why you shouldn't be scared of going against a strong move and even a BEOB...price action produces patterns not the other way round i.e. patterns are secondary.

It's based on an SR + demand zone FTB - there is not other FTB above this level that I would be interested in as a TT.

I generally stick to clear obvious FTB setups on crosses.

My shorts this morning were based on price action at supply i.e. compression followed by rejection signs.
