It's probably not one I'd be trading as an FTB TT. I wouldn't really give too much emphasis to the SR you've drawn myself, it's not clear enough for me...but I would note that this area has some signifcance on the Monthly, Weekly and Daily TF's.

I'm not really into fibs like I used to be and don't really have any need for confluence any more in that respect.

There is of course a DBD on H4, but what I'm really looking for is clear SD zones which have substance and most importantly clear decision points that define the edge. A break of a clear...
thanks for comment LJ
will take a note...

How to trade these daily closes in detail? Take a look at the charts.
Very similar to how I used to look at a chart prior to any S or D know how, I also never used to use the 4h close either.

(W1 and D1 charts attached) In this instance the W1 chart I found to have quite a lot of credibility, not that I usually trade them because price moves veeeery slooowly.

FTB to RBR with D1 close for entry.

Given the current topic of FTBs, here's a couple on my watch list on silver. These are S/R levels not SD zones.
Silver update from 23rd Sept. Levels getting respected nicely.

Only one trade for me today - FTB of a DBD on EU which resulted in a false break of the 76 SR level. Left a fair bit on the table here but still netted a nice +2.3R

Had a slightly higher entry based on the 5m chart. Shame, looking back the 15m seemed more credible.

Mixed day for me: x1 loss, x2 missed entries (You're FTB included) and x2 winners. Probably not the clearest chart as my entries were also based on 1h, 10m, and 1m charts.

No, I don't mind. I try to refine my entry based on 1M/5M near 4H close. Check this 1M chart.

BTW, we shouldn't expect a big reaction from the RBD supply you marked because those areas are compressed.
Hey Balhana,
U have been missing in action here for sometime, glad to see u back

Can u explain why for compressed areas of supply, one should not expect big reaction?

Balhana,
Studying your trades and some questions here

GNZD- see questions on chart

ENZD - Did u enter on close back to the wedge or on retest of the wedge? what TF is your entry on?
Can u explain why u didn't take any partial at the green line marked which seems like resistance?

Thank you

Picture can paint a thousand words. Look at the UC daily chart.

The lower part of the supply zone has been spiked twice and its higher part is compressed.

GNZD: I usually wait for PA when trading based on daily SD zones.

ENZD: I entered on close back to the wedge on 15M in this case, but sometimes enter on retrace. I took some off the table at the green line you marked.

Started with a loss on euro. Probably not the best time to be trading LTF FTB.

Scalped a few trades of little merit to end the day in the green. Missed this USDCAD FTB later in the day, great compression with subsequent liquidity spike. Clearly visible on the 1m TF.

An example of todays scalping.

1) Failed to maximise profits on this one as price did not break down as anticipated.

2) 30sec/1m entry on 30m PB retracement. (Seemed good at the time ). Trading with the recent momentum.

Nothing for me today, but 4 trades yesterday.

- FTB loss on UCHF
- FB on Nasdaq (especially liked the supply consumption and the fact price had held this area whilst the other main indices were tanking) +1.6R
- FTB on CAC40 +1.3R
- a BE on S&P.

Was planning to take this UCHF short today but had a long order in place on EURGBP which was correlated and close to triggering...EG missed my order by 0.7 pips and thus I missed out on UCHF
