Easy Order Block Setup On EUR/USD – Major Bias Still ShortI see a possible Order block short setup on EUR/USD in the 4-Hour Chart. Last week, I suggested that the major 4-hour support has been tapped multiple times. We were speaking about how lines of support eventually break if the price keeps tapping the same price point. Well, we have seen a breakthrough. Now, we need to be careful of false breakouts. We have a descending trend line acting as resistance and we have seen multiple order blocks succeed in the past few weeks for EUR/USD. Taking all this into consideration as well as the fact that our bias is still bearish, we have reasons to look for further short entries. I have highlighted the order block zone in yellow. I always look for the most recent bullish candle before the price impulsively breaks to the downside. We can see that this particular order block entry lines up nicely with the descending trend line. We must beware of false breakouts. As we are so close to broken support, I would not risk my usual one percent or so on this setup. I would risk half of that. I would grade this particular setup as a grade B setup. We have all our requirements, rules and criteria met. However, because we are so close to broken major support and we do have strong bullish volume, this concerns me. So whilst I would trade this just like any other order block, my lot size would be smaller and my risk would be less. I am waiting for the price to push back up into the yellow order block zone. I always aim for a minimum risk to reward of one to two, or one to three. My stop loss would be placed a few pips above the high of the order block zone. My entry would be somewhere in the middle of the order block zone. My target would be the previous price structure which is the broken support level at the 0.991 price point. This is just one possible setup out of many. If this setup hits my stop loss, I'm perfectly ok with that. I simply move on to the next one. Remember, trading is a game of probabilities. We don’t know which way the dice are going to roll. However, if we know that if our edge wins a certain amount of times out of a hundred, then we know that eventually, sooner or later, we will come out on top and in the green. I hope you all have a great Wednesday. The Vortex Trader

EUR/USD Order Block SetupToday I am trading a possible Order block setup on EUR/USD in the 4-Hour time frame. Looking left, we can see that we had 4 wicks touching the previous support level. We then had a candle push through and close below that level. This setup is very similar to yesterday's post on AUD/USD. The same rules for the position have been met. I looked for the most recent bullish candle before the bearish impulse sending the price below this support level. I highlighted this candle from bottom wick to top wick and extended it right. This yellow zone is called the Order block zone. We can also abbreviate it and call it the OB zone. I am now waiting for the price to retrace back into this yellow OB zone before opening up my short position targeting the previous price structure around the 0.997 price position. EUR/USD is still bearish in my opinion. This means I am still looking for short entries. Depending on where we place our entry will impact our possible risk to reward. Some traders place their entry at the very bottom of the OB zone. Some traders use the very top point of the OB zone. I prefer to place my entry somewhere in the middle of the OB zone. My stop loss will be a couple of pips above that previous large wick. I use this area just so I can protect myself from any possible stop hunts. My risk to reward will be 1 / 2 Order blocks need copious amounts of backtesting. There are so many ways of trading them. Some traders will spot them in higher time frames and then use lower time frames to enter them. I am a swing trader and only have time to enter on the 4-hour chart. This is why I trade them as I do. Use volume to help confirm price movement and always remember to trade with the current trend. Trading against the trend is more tricky and can be hazardous to your trading account. Remember to be mindful whilst trading. See you on the next one. The Vortex Trader

Bearish bat Usdjpy has created a bearish bat pattern in h4 chart, we see the XA leg as an impulsive leg because the swing in A broke a previous low and this thing is really positive because shows that the sellers are becoming stronger and it could be a first signal of a Change of Character (market changed from bullish to neutral now). We have fundamentally 2 possibilities to trade this kind of setup , the first one has the imbalance as target, that specific zone is really intereasting because there is an orderblock whereas the second opportunity can let us make big money if price breaks the lat low and starts a mean reversion. Send me a message if you want to be updated and trade with me and my team! Enjoy your trading and apply solid MONEY MANAGEMENT RULES!! tHE ITALIAN TRADER!

AUD/USD Short Setup - Order Block EntryToday I am trading a possible Order block setup on AUD/USD in the 4-Hour Chart. Looking left, we can see that this major support level has been broken. This support level has been held since July and only was broken yesterday. We saw the price close below this level clearly showing a break in this level. I looked for the most recent bullish candle before the bearish impulse sending the price below this support level. I highlighted this candle from bottom wick to top wick and extended it right. This yellow zone is called the Order block zone. I am now waiting for the price to retrace back into this yellow OB zone before opening up my short position targeting the previous price structure around the 0.684 price level. Depending on where we place our entry will impact our possible risk to reward. I always like to use the middle area of the Order block zone as a point of entry. My stop is placed a few pips above the most recent wick to give myself some room should the price decide to liquidate some positions. I then like to take targets at a one to two risk to reward. If we hit the one to two RR then I will scale out and let the rest of the position run. These Order blocks can be fantastic setups and can present very profitable positions, but we have to make sure we trade them carefully. I suggest doing a lot of backtesting before trading these live. There are many ways to trade them and I think the best way to approach them is for you to determine what works best for you. This means, going back in the charts and demo-trade them across time. Then forward test them on a demo account. Decide how you like to choose your entries, targets, and stops. Once you come up with a strategy that works for you, then trade a sample size of around 20 to 25 positions and see if it is profitable for you. There's no rush. Trade carefully and slowly. Trade mindfully. See you on the next one. The Vortex Trader

#analysis 59 - Weekends endSo the weekend has finally come to an end, and we can see there's not much altcoin flied far. Now Bitcoin has come to a consolidation phase. Not pretty sure how it go, so flat now. But I did check the chart of FTT. It seems that pretty good if we reach the lower part inside the range. Look forward to going to the range high if we made a bounce down below. However, the SL should be at around the range low, not below the OB for safety. Why? The range low has already tested for 3 times, which is not pretty good for general cases. Also, now not pretty sure how Bitcoin go in the new week. We'll set it when Monday ends. So let's take a rest for another day.
