I wasn't at the comp to manage trade. I've never looked into trailing stops, maybe I should..

I wonder why mt4 creators went through the trouble of making a DOM, it's about the worst design I've ever seen... If it was static and you could edit the price levels and move the DOM up and down, it would actually be useful for entry/exit if one was scalping etc.

Not like it was going to shoot to the moon but a easily seen example of when to ignore an UT looking candle for reversal.

Risking 5 for 25, see if it can get back around the open. It was a strong open to upside and price has a few demand zones to break first.

hello hieronymus

i really love the way you trade , i found it similar to my own . I use vsa to confirm many trades , basically , the breakout of the highs and lows , supply and demand zones . I usually go after the ND and NS bars after the breakout to get a good shot .
Also on market profile , i trade the single prints by waiting any ND or NS to enter .
Anyway , i would love to discuss some of your charts , and use your experience to be more better . And i would love , if you accept of course , to share my charts here with you if it's possible , so we can share some knowledges .

Hey, thanks, you're welcome to share stuff here, I'm interested in how other people trade MP w/ VSA etc. Hope I can help, although I'm still learning everyday and have a long way to go.

This was great confirmation after the 15m hidden upthrust. Pullback was within 5.5 pips.

I saw this but did NOT take it, I was hoodwinked by the profile holding the lows with Lvt's and a spring-like candle. The 30 and 15 were screaming the short though. Stubborn me.

i've placed these trades on the supply zone . I wasn't at home to see a confirmation to enter , so i just let my sell limits there
Still a chance to enter , especially after that red candle with a bigger volume than the past candles

Short since ND around 1.1030 (on 5m chart), this was more confirmation to stay in, Lvt @ new POC.
Has a big demand zone to break now, took most of profit.

Now I'm wondering if POC moves here around 1.1008 or if price will try and reach it up around 1.1025, or the rather unlikely return to 1.1050 level. I suppose price could drop out as well.

I know no Bollinger Band theory whatsoever, and I won't be looking any up, but it's a nice aid for my style and how I use it so far. It just adds a tab bit more confidence basically and gives a sense of position in space.
