Ken, great points as always and you're 100% spot on that not every trade needs to work out every time. Even Sam Seiden made a few trade calls in his last fxstreet webinar that didn't work out. It happens.

At least if you can stack the odds in your favour and add discipline and positivity to your trading plan then you stand a much better chance in the long run. I'm a huge fan of the way you trade and especially the mindset you have.

Books like Think and Grow Rich and the Power of Now are what have set me of on this path and this thread is an extension to this learning.

Anyway, just had a quick look at the Aussie and it could be part of a longer term move lower against the dollar and a fair few other pairs. I know this doesn't affect your method since you go from H4 to H4 level on the M30 chart but worth keeping in mind I guess.

yes liking the lower moves end of last week should provide some good entry levels this week and who knows might actually hold one.

1.0440 and 1.0470 are in my sites. but i always look at PA before entering

and would combine 440 with 450

470 is a swap and a 1/2 way retrace on last swing .

[11:24:04 AM] Kenneth Lee: yep . gets near level look for slowing and then lower highs in actual pa.
[11:24:35 AM] Kenneth Lee: like a pressure gauge . it will make higher spikes if increasing and lower highs if running low on oil

One of my favorite ways of explaining how I look at PA .

easy to see in real time .

also i look for a final push up into a level and the obvious fast rejection when it hits the stack of supply. If i have been seeing those lower high movement or level then get a higher push still within the level i am looking at i will almost always take the trade. I have said in the past a entry as close to my stop as possible is the best.

The last post is what forms pins. and when we get a pin after a entry are the ones we need to consider holding . if with the overall trend .

Nice levels. I also quite like the 1.038 1.040 area for a long since it's quite a small stop for a H4 level. Not such a fan of buying round numbers though,.

How many people or systems do you know that would enter off a pin (shooting Star) on a 15 min chart ?? That it is right against a supply level makes that confluence very good

I missed the order by a couple of pips so put in a manual short with a smaller position at 1.0460.

Get the feeling we might get another chance at that 1.0470 level as there are surely a lot of unfilled orders still waiting.

I just have to wait and see if me and price can get together when I have time to be here . Off for a nap before work right now . Trade safe ken

Here's a very useful link I like to use when at work for tracking my pairs. I can then manage my open orders on my iPhone.

Took some time off from trading to clear the brain.
Back with a clearer frame of mind!

EurUsd trade from last night.

I took an initial shot at it when it first entered the Supply Zone after the close of the candle and was stopped out for
-7 pips on (4) units (28 pips).
Price was close to my stop and with that Doji I thought it was a good entry.
Could have avoided that if I had set pending orders for when it was leaving the zone.

So I waited for a new PA entry.
It set up with an Inside Bar on the 15min chart after a test/ rejection of the higher (stronger) Supply Zone.
Also had about a 3.5 to 1 distance to the next demand so I figured I would get at least 2 to 1.
Entered at the break of the IB with (4) units and a 16 pip SL.
Set my TPs:
2 units at 1 to 1 (to make a free trade) = 32 pips (2x16)
1 unit at 2 to 1 = 32 pips
1 unit at 3 to 1 = 48 pips

Then off to bed. Woke this morning to a pleasant sight!
Probably because I was not there to mess with my plan!

@ C-12,
I like the look of your charts and have adopted it!!!
I use a darker Green or Red for zones from higher time frames.
Lighter colors for shorter/ refined zones.
Thanks

Nicely done. Those set and forget ones are working best for me as well. When I try day trading I find myself into a world of trouble.

****Update***
LOL - Just after posting this price shot up and stopped me out. That is trading!!!
I guess I am staying up a while longer!
Hind Sight (gotta love it) that was the third touch, so probably should not have taken it

EurUsd - Looking for new Price Action at next supply zone
USD Index - Looking for new demand zone
