There are days when DAX is an absolute dream to watch. Clearly took profits too early on that final BO. {image}
It's the main thing I like about the Dax when I used to watch it...common illiquidity spikes which were predictable.

Hi Mark, I found the following FTB setups, could you share your view on whether they are valid/good setups? {image} {image} Also, a question just popped into my mind. When considering say a FTB short setup, would you be concerned if price is coming from a HTF demand zone? Or it doesn't matter as long as the RR of the trade is still good? A good example would be AUDCHF above which is actually coming from daily demand. Appreciate your input, thanks!
I don't like the metals for FTB's myself, had a much lower expectancy on them over a significant period relative to FX so stopped trading them.

ACHF has a lot of good history at that level, but the one thing that concerns me is the lack of a concise breakout...if you zoom in a bit you'll see the breakout wasn't clean. But the level itself (and associated history) and overall breakout from that area is good so I'd probably go in with less risk (note I don't trade Asia on Sunday so wouldn't take it tonight if it hit).

My FLS would be the former supply to the left above the demand you've marked at this point.

Hi Mark, great points there. On the AUDCHF I also noticed a DBD supply on the H1 (0.853ish level) just before the FTB level. I'm guessing you'll cancel the order if price reacts there as the profit margin will then be too small. Thanks for your comments!

It would depend on how much I like the area and how material the rejection was from the lower DBD.

Take my twitter comments on the EAUD for example...
