Composite Operator's footprints [VSA]

I am going to start posting daily VSA/Wyckoff scenarios of what I see daily in the currency market. I mainly follow Yen pairs (specially GBPJPY, EURJPY and USDJPY). This thread will be acting as my trading journal and the only reason to do this is will be to create a space in where I will be analyzing my rights and wrongs and hopefully keep getting better. Of course, everybody is welcome to join and share information/opinions.

Background about me: I've been trading in the currency markets for about 5 years and just 1 year using VSA and Wyckoff methods. I am not new to this business but I consider myself an always-student-of-the-market. I am trading on a Live account with IC Markets using the cTrader platform (which I think it's one of the greatest retail forex platforms), I usually am waiting for set ups during mid-London session thru the end of NY session.

These are past examples of what I am looking for in the charts:



Update:

Basically I am looking for a combination of SOS or SOW in H1, M15 and M5. When I spot one or two SOS/SOW I then go to the M5 and look for a No demand/supply bar in the right zone with the background confirmed.

Thank you for reading. Cheers.

So, today I was looking to buy GBPJPY but I did not see the set up I was looking for, I like to look for stopping volume , test and no supply/demand bars to trigger my entry. Instead I just saw a minor no supply bar, which is good if you are looking to go long but not good enough for me, I am searching for VSA set ups and not isolated indicators.




Price bounced nicely from those levels and looks like I missed my opportunity. Oh well, this is a game of patience and I am good at waiting.

Today long trade in GJ:



In H1 chart I spotted stopping volume with a bullish reaction confirming it, what I liked was that the stopping volume was at a demand zone from last week's action.



In 5min tf I spotted a series of signs of strength that got me into a buy position this morning:

A.- This bar was a shake-out with the next bar bullish confirming it.
B.- Stopping volume right at the demand zone.
C.- No supply bar confirmed by a bullish reaction, I should note that THIS was the perfect place for a position, you can see is right above the creek [Wyckoff term]. Unfortunately this bar was at 4:00 AM in Mexico so I was sleeping at this point.
D.- I woke up to see another No supply bar with a super bullish reaction and this was my entry trigger.

Pretty straight forward VSA set up. Right now my position is still opened with SL at break even and 1/3 of the size already in the bank.

Wow , great Trade ! great thread !
