Hi, C-12,

I have been following your thread for quite a long time. I love your strategy and the entry is very easy to take.

However, the exit is the hardest part of this strategy, as you switch your time frame from M1 to H1 for large swing,

would you mind to let me know the strategy how you exit the trades to maximize the profit? like any tools? or pure price action?

also, you took many orders, you take all retest trades when the price bak to the zone? hows the trade management, seems very hard.

looking forward to your advice!
Thanks a lot!

I think it's a good idea to look at risk / reward ratios for exits. If you get 2 or 3 to 1 in favour then take the exit.

Sometimes PA will develop in your direction so you can hold on longer. I like to take 3 entries and leave 1 position on to run if Daily / H4 PA is promising.

Unfortunately I'm not much a rules trader so I sometimes will take retests of levels, sometimes not. It's mainly about what I think about the overall direction on higher time-frame. As far as tools it's just zones and PA.

I don't recommend anyone trading off M1 for sanity reasons.

Thanks for your reply! I wonder how you set the initial stop loss on H1, do you usually set it above the supply zone or below the demand zone a bit?

And when you usually will move your stop to breakeven? like when it reaches to 1:1 risk to reward?

I like your trading style, however, I am living in asia and i cant trade half of Euro trading time, you think I still can trade this strategy?

May I ask when most of your trades occur? during what time? I am thinking to trade the H1 like you do and monitor more pairs to compensate the less trading hours.

Thanks again!

UCAD was pretty tidy. {image}
C-12,
This one make me puzzled,
daily zone looks pretty bad to take short, we just keep engulfing upward

and still you took it on 1h chart short and grabbed 100 pips~

I am confused...

Just took this one on a demo account,
swap on D1
and H1 gives me new Supply/Resistance areas.

GU is another confirmation for my GJ,
also S/R level, I took the fresh supply zone as entry and it's retest for second position.

Been on holiday for a week so had wrapped up most swings.

This one I had high hopes for and didn't disappoint.

This could work out nicely but I'd be careful here as GU has established fresh daily demand with PA.

Bit of a "flip" area around 1.5340.

Nice, thanks,

Are you looking at longs in that situation or just play on the sidelines?

pretty nice following this trade progressing,
especially because it was 1-2 pips from my SL and removed previous demand level.

I'm still in this one. It's what you might call the 'long game'...

To answer the question. I was sidelines looking for some PA to go long (closer to newly formed daily demand).

Unfortunately I didn't get my entry but looks like you did.

Ah,
I was talking about UCAD, not GU,

from the daily I am not surely understand why you took shorts/look for shorts,

anyway I hate USDCAD more than GBPUSD
I always think twice before going into that rollercoaster.

Oh right yes, UCAD was showing a daily and weekly supply level (on S&D indi). In hindsight it wasn't really amazing supply.

I saw H1 PA and jumped in with a tight stop, then flicked to H4 / Daily and saw a fresh zone form with PA which gave me confidence it was good.
