A FTB set-up i am watching closely this week
Not a pair I trade or have any experience with - the overall location looks good to me, would be preferable for the SR and demand zone to have a clearer decision point level just prior to the breakout though.

Monday's are generally slow moving at the best of times add in a US public holiday and you get a day like today.

I wasn't trading this afternoon at all but this pre-planned FTB triggered.

Good morning Mark.......well, good morning for me!

Took the GBPCHF trade last night after looking at the whys and wherefores on my chart and woke to green pips this morning. How good is that!
So good to be able to view your trading room charts, take the knowledge learned from your videos and apply it to see why you have marked-up your charts the way you have. I didn't just go and mark up mine the same - where's the learning in that? No, I went through the TFs looking for the SR, DP, FLR etc, compared my results with your yours and actually had a couple of ah-ha moments after realising a couple of small mistakes.
So all-in-all after my first time in your trading room, a valuable learning experience. Thank you

Best regards

Graham

My first FTB trade triggered tonight on AUDCAD, take a look. Thanks Mark, I finally feel like I'm on the right track. Now back to some chart watching and backtesting.

EURNZD M30 FB I took this morning - strong material FB which suggests this is more likely a sign of 'true rejection' rather than demand consumption (remember last weeks webinar in this regard).

Don't expect price to come close to that low again so a conservative SL placed above the FB bar low.

All out at FLR (would have actually liked to have targeted more but it moved too fast for me to remove my TP order).

What was the basis of your setup as not sure I can see it?

Does this make more sense? Of course, price could have easily reacted a little lower instead, but I was pretty confident in my stop behind the 1.04403 DP.

A pair I'd be cautious on myself.

The FB itself is not material enough for me.

WTI FTB setup from yesterday.

Took a circa BE on this myself as price came pretty close to my TP before reversing.

As I mentioned in the webinar on Wednesday, I'm a momentum based trader so I'm not likely to hold a trade for long periods after the initial order-flow based rejection has occurred. By that I mean I'm not going to hold a trade for the sake of it in the hope that the supply price has been rejected from will hold again on another retest and overcome the demand / buying strength (unless I can see a good reason from a location and mulit-TF perspective why I expect this supply to hold).

In this specific example - everything I've expected from a price action perspective has occurred i.e. price has reacted at the clear inner supply within the large zone and we've had the typical FTB style quick rejection - I would need a good reason to continue to hold onto this trade when it comes back to test that supply again.

An NU FTB that triggered overnight that is a good example of 'basing' and it's on an FTB and how I personally would analyse this type of scenario.

LJ, you like this level as the Daily Retest Strategy? It closed below (+ some failures to close below in the days before ), and now we wait for a pullback to enter short (To where, you know best )

Yes that was a valid setup - though it's not technically as good as the GCHF - do you know why?

Clear supply on lower TF on GU which I'd be using for entry and SL placement.

Next Daily Retest Strategy (DRT) video to be uploaded tomorrow.
