When there is a large wick split the wick in quadrants. Bottom - top - 25 and 75% and equilibrium. Then look for 3 bar swings gaps and break of structure at those HTF levels on the LTF. Pick of your positions nimbly and exit sharp.

Giving advice is a good manipulation tactic.

No one knows where price will reverse before the day begins. We just have couple areas in interest and confirm them on the lower with a 3 bar swing and gap. The mastery comes in exiting realistically. Hence why distance is important. Its How far do you think price runs in favour.

Distance. Alot of us was not taught distance in trading. Just time and striking. But never distance.

Maths matter in these markets to execute positions How many pips have you moved during the day? How much have we moved the past week and month? It matters for sure Youd be surprised how many people dismiss it in the markets. They are over ridden by what we all hate. Impatience

EURUSD : Buy model: I have limited my trades and its working quite well. Using the daily quadrant on the August 1st candle to trade from. So Pinging off trades from the daily candle high low 50% and quadrants is what I been doing since we been in the range.

How the candle closeds matters alot. I was taught in the beginning that it doesnt matter until I got more experienced and saw that the close inside a range after taking out a major term low means we maybe looking to take out a short term high or closing above 50% of gap is a SOS

EURUSD : Buy win. Today should not be an expected large range day. We took out the prior day low so a turtle soup at that area can be an okay model. However I had no high probability analysis for it to take a short term high until it breached 50% of that range I display.

Take a 1month break from trading. Unload your stresses. Let your biology reset. You may be in constant "Go mode". It is not healthy. It wasnt for me. Nature will help with that.

Most of my losses are due to me trying to be cheeky with placing a stop at a 1min low instead of below the 15min gap because I want to be out the trade quicker. The smaller the stop the smaller the take profit entry. However based of statistic the larger TP hits too. All mental

EURUSD : Nice Buy I took today. When I was younger I would have tried to make sense of going into the fractal one mins and picking off a 3 bar swing gap but when you see price range long time and also its in a daily area that can expect High resitance then HTF stop is better fit

We are in a US government shut down. Have been for a month now. So dont expect 75 pip range days everyday. Reduce it. It will protect your need for large continuation models.

If Tuesday does not make the low of the week then Wednesday is the next highest probability. If coming of an inside week prior then Monday is higher probability than usual to make the high or low of the week and we just expand in one direction. This is what I have collected.

EURUSD : Once we filled the gap and hit equilbrium we have used that 50% level as a support and resistance and have no taken the other side out today. Perfect Thursday reversal profile. The profile of the days are so important for you to just not pick of any random GAP.

EURUSD : 1.15261 Level got hit last Friday. This week we have hit equilibrium of that daily gap candle on the left hand side. Best to split that candle in quadrants and 50% levels to work within small ranges. Nice stuff.

EURUSD : That 1.15261 Level is close. 13 Daysss and counting...

EURSUSD : While US government is shut down price is very High resistance and tight. We are in a 90 pip range in the space of 6 days that should tell you to not push the button heavy. I just have one trade this week and I will be satisfied with that. State the condition first.

EURUSD : 6495 Level hit. We then close beyond that level and I then bought to my next array yesterday which was the Zone above and the reached into my last line of defence which is that Gap where we have today rejected however I have no trades. Its Friday so passive is best.

EURUSD : Buy trade : 80% of my position is exited and stop moved to BE. The target for the remaining position is that 6495 level.

1-2 Trades a day. Not everyday. Thats my rule and the 2nd trade is usually because the first was a loss and I split risk on it to at least recover half of the losing position. Most people cant stick to this foundation. We are all in a rush. Time matures the trader I hope.
