On Tuesday, we hit TP, but the price retraced back up during the NY session. Here’s how we approached the setup:
Key Steps: Pre-London Setup:
The first candle closed above the marked zone. Analyzing 4H Rejection:
A massive rejection wick on the 4H candle indicated this could be the top, suggesting a possible retracement. Fakeout Anticipation:
The next candle closed below the zone, which we anticipated could be a fakeout. Weak Confirmation Post-London Open:
Another candle closed above, but it lacked strong confirmation. By this time, London Open had already passed. Waiting for Clear Direction:
We remained patient, and the next candle closed below the zone again, solidifying the bearish bias. Entry Execution:
Placed sell stops at the break of the current low on the 30-minute candle after confirmation of bearish price action. Stop-loss (SL) was initially set at the previous high but adjusted to allow room for price movement. Confirmation and Results: Continued monitoring showed candles consistently closing below the zone, confirming the bearish trend. Woke up to a 106-pip profit—a solid trade executed with patience and discipline!
