Nice - couple questions though:

1. Is the upper red dotted line your planned SL, if so, then why there?

2. Is that really suitable PA to get short, after the M5 bar is that not straight into M5 demand?

A more beneficial exercise (for your learning) would be for you to tell me why you think they are good FTB setups.

Go through each one and explain your thought process via short concise points as to why they are valid setups.

Do that and I'll be able to spot any gaps in your knowledge and/or thought process.

So here are my thoughts on few of them. For the USDZAR i think it is the similar case as EURNZD as i explain on chart below. Nice imbalance and quite well defined supply. On usdjpy I´m not sure if it is a great trade. It is not so well defined and the lows aren´t exact as on EURNZD and USDZAR but it caused a great imbalance too. I would propably not take it. That´s all I can say. :/

Thank you for your help

Is the supply really that well defined in the ENZD setup? A well defined zone is one that:

  1. Has substance (in terms of pips width and number of bars that make up the zone).
  2. Has well defined edge - decision points.
  3. One which lead to a strong momentum breakout (strong SD imbalance).

Does the ENZD have a well defined edge. I don't think it does. The supply on the H1 TF should be as per my chart below.

Compare this to a recent supply zone FTB setup and how well that zone is defined.

The USDHUF is a well defined SR with a good strong breakout and thus is a good location for an FTB (not that I personally trade FTB's on exotic pairs).

You have to watch that close approach though - if price reacts there again then this could become your FLS and thus result in a setup that is too low in value.

Thank you Mark will try to look for more defined zones, hope it will come with experience.

Experience and backtesting - the part most miss out.

Having at least 50 examples of the following is a must:

1. A tradable FTB SD setup
2. A tradable FTB SR setup
3. Where to place Entry, SL and FLR/S
4. Examples of the nuances associated with price approach (basing ahead of entry, impulsive moves, close approach and rejection away etc).

Example from today of a good SR FTB but price reacted to the demand just above which created a new base and thus no value.

Example of an impulsive move that means the previously planned FTB trade is cancelled.

Of course some impulsive moves can be predicted in advance - this one occurred due to the AUD data release i.e. you wouldn't have your orders in place heading into the data release.
