EURUSD trade in progress - potential 2.30R trade
Trade closed for + 1.29R

* Reason the reaction from demand was slow and there were pockets of supply and SR history above, which could act as resistance, so decided to cut trade for some profit.

Couple of supply and demand trades today

1) GBPUSD -0.02R - cut trade due to no immediate reaction at the demand zone and price stalled there and also pretty close to London close, so expecting low volatility thereafter. Was a wise decision cause price would have hit my stop loss.

2) AUDUSD +1.74R

Hi Alifari
You are at a stage that you are ready for
Psycho-Cybernetics
to take you next level up in trading.Google download,buy Dr Maltz book.It will change everything.Difference why Tiger woods can do what he can is not just natural talent.You have a natural intelligence to recognize complexity of trading.Most folks fail even to recognize this simple fact.
Our self image of ourselves can either make or break us based upon our history, social circumstance.
All successful people were already thinking successfully before achieving it.Visualizing winning set ups can help recognizing it easier.What happens to one before a trade is critical of what happens with actual real trade results.
Anyway thought to share.
Regards nice journal
In trading, you have to be defensive and aggressive at the same time

Read this on one of traders blog and thought I would share it here:

Markets some days are very structured and its simple to find a point and get involved and someday its a bit hard... Price behavior changes. What differentiate a great trader from a good trader is to acknowledge that and act accordingly. Some times there simply is no trade and when there is a trade and you have done your hard work and due diligence then there should be no stopping you . You should trust your self and your analysis and think to your self "if the same setup was presented to me would I take it 10 times " if the answer is "YES" then close your eyes and take a deep breath and shut out all the noise and trade your PLAN. There is no money to be made sitting on fence."

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who couldn't hear the music."

"There are no facts, only interpretations"

Hi Alifari,

why did u take the aussie trade? It was already second time back, wasnt it? I though the best thing to do is to take just the first time backs.

Thanks.

Hi mtrader123,

The AUDUSD trade was not purely based on FTB style, it was more of a supply and demand trade. The idea is basically to take trade from one demand to supply level.

Here is my thought process: the demand zone where trade taken was actually a decision point which price retested, hence I considered it as immediate retest of demand and I was expecting some buying interest once price revisit this level assuming that upper supply level is consumed and price could breakout and go higher. The initial R/R was attractive about 2.85R and the price action suggest another retest of upper supply or in fact a breakout. I cut trade at previous high due to lack of bullish momentum.

I thought, this would go north. Anything I overlooked?

In my opinion it's just one of the setup that didn't work. However, if we look on M15 there was hardly any value considering spread of about 2 to 3 pips and there were two FLR in close proximity and chances of price reacting to one of these zones was high and low R/R.
