Hi LeM!

Nice chart! :D
Can I ask you where do you enter on a chart like that?
I mean.. the S/D zone was above the current open so the candle was green. I know that it’s just a matter of pips, but you would be trading against colour at that level..

Thanks!!

Hi Mira.

There are two main points of entry on that chart. Out of the Supply Zone and out of the Upper Wick Zone.

I always consider DWZ above all else. I look for price to leave that zone. With the Supply Zone above, it's unlikely that I'll see a long move, so I am looking to play short all day.

I will consider the Weekly Open. If I am above and looking at shorts, then I will simply not look to hold anything for any length of time (which I never do anyway, so it's kind of moot).

Daily Open is of secondary interest.

OK, so now here's the shocker...you may want to be sitting down for this...I very rarely pay attention to other candle colour \:D/ ...

Well, that's not strictly true. I will know what the H4 is if I'm looking at the H1. However, running WZ means that I am constantly running contrary to the previous candle (I very rarely trade H / L breaks) and that takes precedence over everything else. Other candle colour is just a small part of what I scan as I decide whether to go in or not - and in fact, probably plays more of a part in how I exit a trade, not enter. Going against an H4 colour would make for the likelihood of a shorter trade than one going with that colour.

What I am trying to say is, it doesn't stop me from entering if all else I look at lines up for me.

I don't think I ever consider Weekly or Monthly colour. H4 for H1 is as far as it goes.

e-mini-dow was sandwiched between 24800 and 24700 today took the dip out of an SnD Zone at 24700. Sometimes I jump the gun and don't wait for a proper candle close for confirmation that usually leads me to trouble... patience is rewarded with many pips :) interesting to note the higher volume on the bearish candle that lead into the bounce

Thursday had a tempting entry point when it bounce off of 24600 just before my allotted hour had started, and the other actual entry came late in the hour. another interesting spot to check for is the close of the market 14:30-15:00(GMT-5) there is higher volume than the open of the market.

This trade was a little different as it did not involve a session extreme, but it did involve the "W" bounce.. I've learned to be wary of pin bars early in the session. none the less, all signs pointed towards the downside, bear break of the range before the session, inability to break 600 (twice), close above line and close below :smt117 Happy Friday everyone, enjoy the beautiful weather if you have any.

Quite risky today, but I followed the rules. close below 400 then a test to a 20 pip bounce away. I took that as a valid short entry, and kept my stops tight:)
