EUR/USD if the HH is done during Asia (lower volume) I'll keep my shorts but will close them all if done during London
I mean a HH after 1.28 is met

TLC , when ever you have time , I have a few questions regarding how you play things , kindly provide your input on them ... Charts below ... Regards ...
Hello Chanya, First of all, I want you to see my approach knowing that I don't wait for a specific candle shape to trade but instead a whole scenario where a particular criteria has to be met. I rather comment on “Before the Fact PA” but I am gonna use your examples applied on my own charts. I will post them later on today.

Cheers,
TLC

Ok let's gets started with your EUR/AUD chart but first let me know what is your PA definition? is it a set of rules? is it something that you wait for in order to trade?, I want to make sure, we, from now on speak the same language.

SUPPORT You wrote: "you take trades on an area that has been tested multiple times and trades still work out". Let me ask you, do you buy at support? in your opinion, how many times support has to be tested so it can no longer work? what is your average risk per trade you take (in %)? what is you average RRR? see in this example the ESTABLISHED support was tested 5 times not counting previous bottom test. What I can see so far, you wouldn't take the 2nd to 5th test.....wouldn't you? why?

EUR/USD HH made, position are now completed, the SL for all of them will be around -4%, right now -2%. Keep in mind that this are based on a long term view.

It may work but keep in mind that it is testing a mojor TL, I will turn Bullish if a clear break is made (weekly close above TL). Look at my EUR/USD weekly chart above, there are two ways to plot that TL. In terms of weekly TF, this could be just a spike specially during Asia.

I wont play it unless it moves away a good bit then comes back and retests. If it spikes back down in the next few hours I'll ignore it.

That is what I mean, I will trade it long only in terms of weekly TF.

My goal is to end this year with 30% return/profit, so far these trades can really make the difference.

To me , I use pattern Break out trade, then I use Support and resistance and supply and demand for the first return to it after BO ... After the first test , I usually do not trade it second or third time unless a Pinbar Or engulfing candle presents itself or a false BO occurs... That is how I trade ... But I have no idea how the PA relating the order flow works ... That thing you explained a couple of weeks back " Price forms a new LL on the next candle so I have moved to BE " was also new to me... I did not know that if we take a buy trade and on next candle price forms a new lower low , its a bad sign ... I manage my trade once taken as they progress through support and resistance in the way trailing my stops behind them ... I take maximum or 3-4% risk per trade and no more ...

Yes , that is correct . I only take a first time back to the support or resistance ... For second or third time , I would not take just a touch of it because I dont know how to ... That is what I am trying to learn , how you do it, Just trade the touch after the first time ... You also talk about rejection ... I dont know what that is too ...
