Today was a good day but a choppy one. Took 3 sell entries and all of the were stopped out. Took 2 additional sells this morning at the open and those went straight to SL, traded a bit too tight initially this morning but the SLs weren't large at all took about a 3% L on those. The remaining trades were taken off of the -CHOCH (Change Of Character) and -BOS...
Pending order triggered over night based on the high of the 4H+FVG 3730.70. Goal is to take the BSL out but this trade is up over 2.5% if you took it. We will need to see price hold above the daily opening price for a continuation. I did not break this trade down into smaller targets because my primary goal is the BSL from the daily chart and I’ll simply take...
If we get back near the daily opening price I'll take a partial on the buy setup and just leave the rest of the Buy and Sell in. Up and down day, we've swung 700+ pips 3 times so far today. Took Partials on both of the setups and leaving the rest in with the stops in profit.
4H+FVG entry (pending order) Entry at the high, middle, and low with risk on each set 0.25% for the high, 0.50% at the middle and 1.0% at the low. Initial stop loss below the candle that created the FVG or below the last swing low. In this case I used the FVG candle low. If the high failed to be taken out, close partials, make sure stop is in profit or BE,...
Took a few pending order setups and still watching them off of the 4H TF. I had a -3% loss over the weekend, traded ripple with a stop loss a little too tight but its all good, nothing too big.
Took this trade with a pending order off of the 4H TF. Based this on the 4H-FVG (bearish) mid way point at 0.50765. This was a rejection and continuation to a 4H+FVG (bullish). I took partials at target 3 which is the high of the 4H+FVG and was stopped out just above the daily open on the remainder. All targets reached on the trade.
Patient with the news on the jobs numbers. Immediate drop on the news but it was positive. Being that it was, I decided to wait because there was an opportunity that it could have been a liquidity grab below 3720's equal low and a run for the buy side liquidity. Sold on news break and on times & sales response. Saw the order flow aim at the ask price and the...
Tried to catch a possible continuation. But so far doesn't look like it's ready. Set a pending order at the top of the small 15m-FVG and went about 100 pips in profits. Usually once I'm up 100 pips I'm trailing at that point or I'm reducing my initial stop loss. Most of my setups, if they are right, I'm good to go once I'm 100-200 pips in profits and I'll...
Other than this sell no trade so far this week. Market's been moving outside of my trading window and the one setup that i could have taken was yesterday morning. Nothing looking good in my opinion at the moment so I'm just sitting on my hands and being patient for now. VIX volume indicator coming off the high 32.685 SPX coming off the low as VIX coming off...
Took this drop on the open and closed out at 200 pips. Was looking for a cleaner entry on the buy. Was looking for a sell to buy off of a 1H imbalance. I was wrong and I was looking at the LTFs a bit too much but still got out in profits.
SPX Loss 9-30-22 Too early Today attempted buying and loss after jumping in too early with a tight SL. Only used about an 1/8th of my normal lot size so the loss is nothing major at all. Was looking for a move off of the 15m+FVG and it moved instead off of the 15m+OB. Wasn't being patient this morning with this setup and jumped in before the orders came...
News release dropped us but no clean entry until you get down to the 1m chart. Missed this drop but I'm okay with that. NAS is driving the charts today so far and not a lot of orders have come in on SPX so far. I'm going to sit on this for now until I see something heavy on the bid or ask before I do anything this morning.
SPX Sell 9/28/22 Didn't get a chance to post it and its already at BE and target 1 Adjusted SL on the open to 3688 Partialed at target 2 Mid-week expectation valid and from the highs we have dropped to the area we though it would push to. The question is still, do we stay inside the candle from yesterday on the daily...
So far we've rejected the weekly high and pushed down into the LTF points of interest. Going into the premarket and NY session I'll be looking for signs of rejection to return to the upside or a continuation of the overall trend. Mostly favoring a neutral to bearish point of view on this but I don't mind reacting on movement to the upside for a buy if the...
Today took a trade based on the 4H setup as the 10am candle opened. Saw that we had a LTF FVG on the 15m (bearish) that failed and became short term bullish and got the entry on the 15m-FVG(H). Order flow confirmed entry to the upside. Buyers hit the bid price at the entry and followed through afterwards. Stop loss in profits and partialed at target 2 so this...
So today I won’t be trading, I have physical therapy, but this is my 4H chart and this is what I’m looking for. I’m looking to see if we are going to trade above the daily into the FVG (Lemme see if you can spot it). If we do, I’ll look to try to take a sell from that area or at least look to get a response in that area. I won’t actively be able to reach out...
This candle creates the -FVG high. Use the low of this candle and extend out. This candle breaks market structure to the downside in the form of an impulse candle, bearish engulfing. The high of the candle following the engulfing candle sets the low of the -FVG and the candle should not trade back above through the candle high that created the lo. You can...
I'm usually looking for my trades between 7am-12pm. Initially was looking for a BUY but the sell setup took over and I needed to remind myself of what it looks like when a +FVG. Bullish POI, where I would normally be looking for a BUY entry and target the last highs made. Price traded through the Bullish POI, a +FVG, then we traded retested the lows of it...
