As price hits these levels im looking for my reverse entry setup (so if im short , i know if im in demand level and i get setup to go long. I dont want to be short anymore).
Simple.

Now this is where I always come to grief - do I take profit in this TF - currently up 55 pips or so, with demand level on this tf approaching ( 2 actually) or, as I entered on this tf but from a higher tf supply level, do I try to hold for more?
Thing is, it isn't as simple as that because:
My entry basis was from these levels apparent from the H4 chart, the H1 and lesser levels are nowhere to be seen. Now my entry was based on the M15 chart, and on that basis, the demand levels then become evident. However, to always fold a trade when a small level is approached would mean that the markets would always be mean reverting between small timframe supply and demand levels and would always range and there would be no larger move apparent on a larger timeframe: perfect scalping environment of course but..none of these things are true.
Depends on the type entry you're using. from your description how you entry then yes you wouldnt be able to exit in that manner.

There are two forces acting upon us: Suffering pushes us forward from behind and pleasures entice us and pull us forward.

Hi
I did this picture as reminder what are core principles and what are the supporting principles to the core principles.
In the picture there is only 2 core principles that underpins everything you do, taking rat trades at KEY LEVELS (open, close and 50%) with SUPPLY/DEMAND. Everything else is jsut support to this idea.

Been looking at different methods recording trade journals which i really do think is important. I found a good video about setting one up and what the minimum data is required. Seems to make sense and is logical.

Something i found interesting was way price doesn't seem to come back and close, too often, below 50% level while its moving up. Not untill its ready to come down of course. I call it Trailing Fibo S/L , any comments please feel free.
Its just idea at moment.
