Last 2 weeks Ive done this when over 20 in profit, and that made me lost on my overall trading as many times they got hit.pablo101 wrote:Had a few losses before this one. I've no idea why Mondays are always a challenge for me, possibly because just getting my head around trading after a weekend

Where does your weekly demand originate from ?
The first zones on W1 that haven't been revited as I see them are
Supply: 1.7040-1.7310
Demand: 1.5060-1.5347 or even 1.4650-1.4842
Hi PTG,
I have a turn point on week starting from 2nd Aug. The area I marked is between 1.67207 to 1.67115.
I see this area as supply because the market significantly dropped away the following week, which I interpreted as more sellers than buyers.
Then today when the market was above this area, I saw the area as a support (demand) area and so my long trade.
I'm worried now, am I not looking at this correctly?
Ah, now I see, Pablo101 !
I haven't marked it. If I would have put a zone there it would have been from 1.6534 to 1.6714 (give or take), or rather from 1.6200-ish to 1.6714. It has been bouncing up and down in that area since early June.
From the W1 and D1 perspective your trade looks like a breakout trade (to the upside) which is not high prob/low risk. Waiting for a retrace on W1 or D1 would have been.
I had marked another area from 1.6934 to 1.6989 to be the next zone on D1 that hasn't been revisited.
I think that you want to find those areas in places where a) you can collect as many bodies as possible, b) where momentum ends and turns around.
Having said that, I suppose that everyone has different views. Let me know what you think !

Thanks PTG, this helps a lot. I do see why you mark up those congestion areas and it's wise to pay attention for future reference.
When I mark up what I see as good supply and demand areas, I seem to get good reversals for some good runs, especially when GU H4 just closes above/below these areas, switch to lower tf and look for momo away then trade accordingly. 3 out of 3 yesterday and 1 this morning. Anyway looks like I'm seeing different things from every one but its working for me so far touch wood
If I haven't said it before, thank you now and always
for the feedback. It appears as if you're essentially seeing the same things things that I do.
