Hey Mark, I have just watched your videos about the daily retest. I am new here so I would be glad to know your opinion about my audchf chart. Is the location and my SL placement OK? By the way perfect work here {image} {image}
The area itself is not concise enough IMO for the DRT.

But the entry and SL placement rationale looks fine to me.

The one I was willing to take, EU: compression + Bear trap + ignored demand turned to supply... But momentum seems too bullish for me, maybe waiting for a retest is more prudent: When do yo use to wait for a retest and when you do not? {image}
I agree that the momentum is too bullish there. It looks more like a pullback to new demand following the bullish move into supply than a bull trap - also don't see any compression either.

{quote} Hello Mark, I thought I get it but then I saw today that you are waiting for an FTB on GBPCAD. I am perplexed now. I cant see the difference in the gbpcad zone and my USDCHF zone. The usdchf zone you highlighted seems to have even more substance (more bars) than the GBPCAD zone and yet you did not like it. Could you please explain? I am lost. Thank you in advance.. {image}
The difference is that UCHF is an SR FTB with an RBR prior to the BO (and that RBR has clear multiple DP's at the SR level) whereas the UCHF is just a supply zone without substance, without clear DP's and no SR.

You were right, sir. I was comparing previous downside momentum to the actual rally, seem like the drop was much harder so I think there can be a good shorting opportunity. I was expecting a drop at gold marked level, but no enough signals for now.

GU setup worked pretty well, but I didnt take it. Daily supply scared me of taking a long at after the bear trap, despite bull momentum against the bear one:

Thank you for you comment, LJ, really appreciate it.

GBPUSD M15 FTB - not really enough value in this one in the end but it triggered before I'd realised that was the case. +0.6R

My limit order was missed on this potential USDJPY long not long after the short trade above. Was another circa 2R opportunity.

Two FTB's that triggered overnight on ANZD and GCAD.

Charts showing the setup (in this case they are both M15) and then zoomed in M1 charts showing the entry, SL and exit thought process.

Two more FTB's this morning, this time they were cancelled.

First one was a GCAD M15 trade, but cancelled due to the impulsive move.

Second one as an NCAD M15 setup, but cancelled due to a) the reaction at slightly higher demand in a manner that would have been looking for in the FTB trade up to the same TP area and thus creating a new base and b) new supply formed within that rejection meaning no value in the setup anymore.

I can see few faults:
1. Your supply is much higher then you marked
2. you had to wait for PA confirmation
3. if you think your Supply was like you marked, why your SL placed inside it?

Keep studying price, pal.
Failing trades are part of the journey.
