A Basket Trading Journey

Frankie now open, we'll see if we get some direction.

Nearing 3 hours into trade has been like watching a snail run with a broken leg! PA starting to confirm entry.

Now in profit after 3 hours. I will be watching LO very carefully. Quite often London will reverse Frankie.

With M15 at the same qualifications as my M5 entry, M15 and 30 will now dominate decisions made. Currently 42Pts up.
Very positive sign as MACD fast EMS (green) crosses zero. As long and London wants to play nice with Frankie in about 10 minutes.

With French (in 8 minutes) and German (in 38 minutes) PMI announcements, I will quickly move to BE on any sudden reversal.

Red news events complete and M30 looking very good. Next hurdle the M30 and H1 demand zones just north.

i think you got the sense how to use BT CS V6 and Sub/Dem compo hammer, multi time frame analysis.

PA's first serious run at M30 and H1 demand zone.

Target hit. Trade closed.

Almost an instant reversal after PA penetrated both M30 and H1. It could have gone either way, but my target was hit and I'm happy with that!

PA not looking too eager to visit the next demand zone. Could our major move this week be south? We'll see.

M5 showing a retest of the latest M5 and M15 supply zone. Interesting....

Nice work Smokey D. It appears that the reversal out of the M30 and H1 supply was at least 30 pips which lends credibilityto my method of thinking that I posted on seller9's thread.
We place the sell trade there with a tight stop and if the levels are broken then we close the sell immediately and buy again to the
next level. If the trade works out we close 50% partial profit and move stop to BE after 30pips on the remainder and TP at the first demand level confluence for M30 and H1.
In your case an additional 30 pips +. Yes I agree it could have went either way, but as soon as PA left the confluence of the 30 and H1 we can still make pips no matter which way it goes. Anyway it is just what I am watching happen day in and day out where the confluence levels M30,H1 and H4 are concerned.

I appreciate your comments.

You and @hukam are certainly of the same mindset. Yes it would have been a great entry for a sell with a low risk SL. For me right now, I'm still dealing with that mental need to see it "get going" first. I'm hoping time may change that. In any event, I'm thankful to bank 50-60% of the middle of a move...on a consistent basis.

I choose my direction using the 2-time frame confirmation of a sup/dem zone, but I still need to see my indis trigger before I can hit the "Go" button.

Another test of the M15-M30 supply. Will wait until NYO to see what happens.

Waiting to see if NY wants to retest...

Core5 Long opened after no apparent desire to retest...we'll see

Plan A - chances are 60%
Plan B -chances are 40%
at the movement picture is not clear, wait for BT CS V6 confirmation

Target is the white line.

An obvious retest of the M5-15 suppy. My "failed trade" is the white line.
