Some simple PA setups

hi all, i have been away for a some time as FF dint really had a purpose for my trading (except the calendar).

Just wanted to add some social input/output into my tedious routine.

A long breakout in play here. Would have like it more in NY as these hours are not perfect for a strong directional move.

Was a good scalp.

One thing i have observed over the years and proven very helpful is that its always better to get into trades when low volatility periods are about to end and high volt is about to start. That way your stops are very small as ranges and High/lows are near by and lots of SR/AD zones to protect you stops and as market jumps into high gear and if your trade is in the right direction, your TP could be 3-4 times bigger than your SL.

On the other hand when i open trades in high volt sessions, SL have to be large and TP's not so much. As you have large directional moves and spikes, your stops have to be much wider in order to find better hiding spot as big/strong supply/demand zones are left far behind.

apart from the simple breakouts like above i trade this reversal trading setup which at times can have a 1:4 RR.

here is a setup i missed last night. setup is a mini breakout in itself but with a variation to the rules.

What i do is to look for pairs that have broken out of their respective range / are trading at the edge of the rang / had a quick move in one direction but failing to cont.d

Towards the end of the trading sessions these sort of situations tend to see a reversal when for example sellers (for an upmove) will start to give up and remove their orders from the market for various reasons but an obvious one being the end of the session and volatility decreasing.

After the unloading starts there are two usual outcomes, a single move of 10-20 pips which is about 1:1 RR for me. The other one is when profit taking and bailing out turns into a stop hunt and you something like in the charts below. A decent guess could be made as what could be the possible outcome with amount of space price has for the move. Also varies among different pairs as volt is diff among them.

Stop at 850, entry 863, first tp 865, second tp is 880. And if the stop hunt looks very possible which did in this case you could than wait for 893 of even 900 as there are always stops above the round number.

could be interesting for a short @ 334 if 350's are tested and respected.

359 long breakout also inplay, would like to see 352 tested and respected so that buying is in control.
.

Played out very well but just 1 pip or even less profit. As i mentioned above i dont like these hours for breakouts.

NY will be interesting with Audusd looking like a reversal opp.

audusd is ready. looking for a test of 7654.

Details coming...

if we fail to hit 3383, 3357 looks good for a reversal short entry.

cable is setup nice for a break to either side. though downside looks less strong in opposing.

short at 1m supply.

Edit closed at 3 pip loss. order set for long side now.

where do we go if we cross 75?
