Atm i'd be holding because the red line is a weekly broken zline and i expect some power from it.. however it is already twice over my target, so i'd be taking profits at the first bearish sign.

I usually get high spreads only during the first hour (so I don't trade @ the first hour). You will still have opportunities later on :D , like this:

Expansion as it happens, quick pips.

Nice drop :shock:
I was watching it live and in the first hour price spiked to the upper trigger, you entered in the second bar but would you consider the first move as a fail? Or was your bias short before price moved?

Thanks guys!

If you feel lost then HTF zlines is the answer!

I’m just doing paper trading because I have a lot of exams in these days (why in the hell I joined the university at 28 lol).
However i feel like I’m going back on track with simplicity and market structure.

Potential short setup from the upper line to the lower one.
Obviously I always will wait for a H1 Doji zone away from my lines and I’ll avoid everything “in the middle”.
That’s the rule.

You say you have a rule to avoid everything in the middle and I get that but would you not see how you could be trading the Daily Wick Zones in those "spaces"?

Just a thought.

Yes, I entered at the second candle and exited it at the candle close (it had a very small wick to the downside when it closed so it was still going down). If I hadn't closed it like this it would've eventually hit the maximum SL in the next hour.

Regarding the first move as fail, well, I have 2 ways of closing a trade earlier. If it closes within the buyzone, or if it reverses a substantial amount (this could happen inside or outside the zone, so it's either a small profit or small loss). In this case it was only 4 pips, so according to my rules I wouldn't consider it as a 'substantial amount'.

On the bias, I don't. At least for now, I take the trade at the break. Is it a mistake? Well, I don't know. I can see why you'd want to pick a direction and stick to it (remember the rat, eventually you'll be right), but if I aim for the range expansion it can really go either way throughout the day.

I was looking at the pivots and the weekly candle color to see if I could use them as bias but I'm not sure yet.

Thanks guys!

LeM, yes I see the daily WZ. Price made a powerful bullish move and broke the line in fact.
However I’m trying to go step by step to not create confusion in my head :lol:
At the moment I’m focusing on daily/weekly zlines to trade away from a H1 doji zone.

BlindMan, thank you for sharing your view and for your help!
I’m learning very much about it.. I’m working on it and I really hope to make it work because I like it [-o<

I get that, Mira and agree that it's a sensible way to do things. However, what I would say is that you don't need to actually enter trades via DWZ as such, instead you can simply use the knowledge that price will look to leave that WZ.

Because of that, you can see that if you have a selection of your set ups come along, one is inside the DWZ, one is outside the extreme and one is inside the body of the Daily Candle, you already have the beginnings of a bias factor.

By that, I mean that the one inside the WZ - you can be pretty confident that price will be on the move sooner or later, to get out of that zone.

The one outside the high or low of the Daily Candle, well you could say that the move has already happened. I'd then be more likely to think I'd be getting a pull back soon and wait for that (if it comes).

As for the third, the one already out of the DWZ and inside the candle body, well now you are going to bring the 50% line into play (or a Z-Line if it's appropriate).

Very beautiful analysis.
Now I don’t know anymore why I was looking for a short and not for longs :lol:
