I have this one on my watchlist with the same rationale for entry and SL placement.
Made 1R on this one.

An indication that bulls are still in control is , watch that it only took two candles to break the resistance and reach the supply zone on H1 and it is taking alot of candles just coming back , indicating weakness in bearish power ...

True, but those candles going down are post Friday London Close and Monday, which suck in volume I think.

Not too keen on USDJPY from the charts above as not clear enough SR for me but the rest are all on my current FTB watchlist.

hey LJ,

I have a question if you don't mind. I was reading the first part of the thread and it seemed to me you traded FTBs on H1 and above with Fib confluence with great success. Now it seems you're trading mainly from 5/1M charts. May I ask why did you change?

It's all to do with volatility. Volatility has steadily decreased throughout the year so as volatility decreases the number of setups on H1 decreases - thus you have to follow the volatility by moving down TF's. A rigid mechanical trader tends to stick to one TF, a true trader trades multiple TF's and can adapt. Thus my average FTB TF is now lower than what it was at the start of the year.

I rarely trade FTB's on M5,M1 though - I use these TF's to pintpoint entries, SL's and for PA based trades (but mostly based on higher TF location).

As an example of my FTB TF split, currently I have 18 setups on my watchlist and they are split as follows:

M5 -1
M15 -5
M30 - 4
H1 - 5
H4 - 3

I pulled the order since a new FTA was made just above my entry. What do you do in such cases LJ?

I'm liking this setup less now due to the support that has formed too. Was looking for compression into the area but that hasn't materialised. If there is not value in a move up to that current support then yes I'd be cancelling the order.

So far, it respected my FTA Sweet.
Can't really tell now which way it's gonna go.... Bearish flag / DBD in the making maybe?

You did well to get value in this. Yes that would be my FLR and there isn't really anything PA wise to tell where price will head next.

Whilst on the subject of FTB's quite a few around at the moment.

Two of mine from my watchlist triggered today, Dax and Dow long (I only took Dax).

A few I had to cancel due to lack of value - but might be off use to some to see what I was looking at.

A couple came close to triggering before moving away - I like the daily locations of these so have reduced my risk but not cancelling unless an obvious SR base forms.

Lastly, next one likely to trigger is Gold - though I'm not leaving an order in place on this overnight.

LJ,

I am placing the entry at 1734.22 - it is the High of the previous candle on H1 TF. And the SL a little below 1731.50 - low on the 2nd candle on H1 TF.

Where would your entry and SL be?

Take a look at M1 TF - my entry is higher...can you see what my entry is based on now?

My SL is again based on M1 @ 1732.30, why not below the zone low - because I don't perceive the demand at that zone low area to be strong - price left it with no material momentum and it was the M1 just above my SL where price started to move with momentum.

Was there any news on XAU? Why did it it drop so abruptly?
