Lower TF M5 - M1 , yes i trade daily..there is 1 or 2 opportunity in a day.

Higher TF M15 - H4 , i trade based on setup like below.

Daily, Weekly & Monthly TF is the reference.

A break & where the decision been made

An important demand been consumed & move to the next base for a liquidity
This is the reason on sharp drop..Good opportunity.
A good risk : reward, with a beautiful target.

Before
After:
As EU..likely the same but this time..the order was twice at the same level..got a red card...hmmm
Yes , i noticed that & actually must wait for a confirmation. The only major consideration i practice is risk & reward. We ha
have to accept the
risk by considering the ratio. More rewardd than risk is better. Sometimes make a silly mistake but thats all i got haha. Forex is about risk &
reward. Whatever technical analysis might come into consideration...i mean whatever technique..not just SND. But i just like a blank chart
with only candlesticks
esticks & price..That’s why am choosing SND.

For a touch trade, the decision is important. Every single base have it's own decision that make a move from base (balance area) to
another base thru imbalance. Sometimes it make profit & else just a stop. Not many choice i have except i know exactly the order .

Here is some great move today on lower tf & higher tf :

Something about the price movement.

Sorry Simond..i make too many posting on this thread, i only describe in a chart for a discussion,,Im not realy know how
to write it.
This is last one..price will tell
Same as GbpJpy.

batus,, what I'd add to the above is that I think we trade more or less the same levels; i.e. were looking at (and out for) the
same imbalances, however, our entry criteria are quite different. As I've stated previously, I always look for PA at the
levels. There is a caveat to this in my own trade plan but it involves price already having tested the level and moving away,
and is quite specific.

I would actually like to try and expand my trading method to trade a little more like you do on the touch side of thing
things; I
think I miss a lot of good opportunities by not trading touch at certain places. I've also noticed you trade quite varied
timeframes. Having said this, I've refrained from asking you (or any other trader to be honest) the specifics of your method
because
use after 4.5 years of working things out for myself, I know how much effort is required. I think it's unreasonable for
traders to put others in the awkward position of asking them for something that they quite rightly wouldn't (and probably
shouldn't) share.

In many respects this is why I sometimes post levels in advance of the fact. I think it helps with the general discussion but it
also means traders have a heads up on where others are looking/trading while of course being totally responsible for their
own entries, exits and money management.

Oh..clear enough mate i thought my trade style interrupt your method..way of trading haha..btw we are using the same supply & demand
..and actually our levels almost the same..Yeahh .

Yes , i use varied timeframes

imeframes according to the setup either scalping or intraday.

There is a reason why sometimes i trade before or after the news. Actually its a simple rules. Buy at demand, sell at supply & always look to
the left. Simple rules but works in my trading.

Picture before on Gbp Manufacturing PMI that price actually at supply..thats the reason i entry before news.
But for CAD Core release,, the price was nowhere and on higher tf it was at strong ressistance. When price attempt too many times, the
ressistance considered
sidered weak. So the best is wait for price drop to fresh demand...then only the best entry for long. For that, the entry sho
should
be after news release. Here is the trade entry for USDCAD today
A demand been engulfed :
When all demand consumed, price drop sharply
An important support & ressistance with important demand.
As long we noticed the high liquidity price & what Price tell us..then its tradable ..

What it tell before :

What it done after :
Currently Yen is strong, all xxx/yen are weak.

For CADJPY..the important demand has been engulfe

Some drawings from what i understand :

Basic is important :
An important movement :
The important zone :
Drop zone :
I just express what i understand ... its variety of trade using SND , it's your decision to choose..thanks

I just beleive Risk to Reward Ratio in forex...thats all i got.

The more reward than risk ..the better it is..
Price tell about decision :
Its a decision that matters:
What i see, the liquidity is at the fresh zone, that’s why price move from base to base to find liquidity.
Base = high liquidity / low volatility / low spread / balance
That’s why there is a specific price in the zone itself.
We look for a Decision Made/Freshness/Great Imbalance to find most liquidity price in a base.

Cheers
Sometimes got red card also, but its ok ..risk & reward is important to me.
Liquidity is a huge order that created by the big traders.
Understand how they create will be a great value for us.
In order to fulfill huge orders example sell order, they must create buy order
How they actually do..i can't tell .
But the basic is as below :

Trade well.
1. How your draw your zone (rule you use to draw zone)
- if the zone is small, draw from body to shadow
- if the zone is big, draw only shadow
- if the zone more than 2 candles & small, draw from highest or lowest body to shadow
- if the zone more than 2 candles & big, draw only shadow with highest or lowest shadow

2. How you analysis one pair (from which higher TF to lower TF)
- Top down analysis (from weekly to 1 minute timeframe)
- if price at the same zone on Weekly/Daily/H4 ... best for entry
- switch to M15/M5/M1 to find entry.

3. How many pair you have on your watch list ?

- Major pair & Yens...sometimes others.
I pay attention to this limit. Breaking this limit , it will come to my consideration on potential entry.
Thanks for being the first visitor dude

Potential entry & limit. Freshness is always an attraction.

Actually i am a pullback trader, on Daily timeframe seems like i trade a breakout, but if we do a Topdown analysis
we will find the pullback.
Here is a topdown from Daily to M5 timeframe & it shows where actually my entry on M5 timeframe.
Pound trade today.

Entry before the data release:

While the data release:
Entry after the data release:
Why i hold the short position:
@ the right place , @ the right time ...
A Decision is a supply or demand zone that engulfed the opposite zone before, it only have 2 decisions either up
or down. In that zone it creates a Limit.
Limit
A Fresh Zone is a supply or demand zone that still untouched by price either from upside or downside by movement of consuming or
engulfing.
Why for the sudden price move up or down? here is the related chart on Decision & Freshness of the zone.
A chart below explained & yes we can use whatever method as a filter as long we understand the method.
A little rules that i applied, a third rules is "look further to the left" . A first & second rules u can refer to my blog .
When u look further to the left , u can see what price react to ..
i) a previous supply or demand
ii) a previous support & ressistance or support/ressistance flip
iii) a previous ignored supply or demand
iv) a gap
v) a high or a low
vi) a confluence
& etc

Well, this kind of information is useful to determine what actually PA tell us & for purpose of entry especially.
Price spend most of the time in balance rather than imbalance. Sometimes u can see it flip across SNR. It creates a key level.
Thats make an unfresh zone also an important zone. U can see below the zone that i draw referring to a first SND far to the left.
By maintaining the origin zone, i can see what did price react to the left. It takes time to understand. No hurry
More details on my entry pullback type..below u can see 2 points of my entry...at the beginning (im using lower tf) & at a large
pullback.
Depends on scalping or day trade or swing. And every timeframe have its own decision but the best with a large imbalance.
This is how i draw support & ressistance level
A little brief on SNR ..
It was very interesting actually. From my point of view SNR occur on trendline & horizontal line. From where the price came & to
where the price heading is important. At point that price meet a TL & HL SNR is a critical point. Usually it consolidate before a great
imbalance. I usually monitor this point.
When it met at a right place & at a right timing as below, a great imbalance occur. Selection of pairs also important pertaining to the
event.
But i guess what i was trying to say is that i'm still wondering if what we call a "fakeout" is truely what it is though ? Because it
ultimately reaches a maximum pain level. but it doesn't just spike nowhere. It just goes to a slightly better bett price. Or
maybe it still can be considered a so called "fakeout" since it probably triggers many stop losses.

Hi Achlys, yes you are right & your english is good

The words that i highlighted is true. What is the main objective & why the big investors entry? IT's about ORDER.
The main objective that they invest in a quiet huge sum of money only to gain a profit.
Where do they entry? with a huge invest, they need a huge order. How did they do that? By creating the order.
Ever heard about fear & greed? Below is the chart explained about it. It's not the big money invest there , i just want to show an
example
Here's my point,
What actually my little rules related to the risk & reward.
Thats all i have on trading fx.
Below is what i saw on Ecad & relate to my little rules
Mertc
Some description on entry.
The best rule is : YOU MUST KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING
Because : THERE IS ANOTHER SIDE DOING THE SAME

In the eyes of buyers & sellers there are a difference perspective but with the same chart.
Whats on it?

Below is the same chart ... but with difference perspective.

There is one point in the chart that is very important.
