    Second TP objective (100pips) reached just shy of 4h bearish OB.

    Well that's the nice thing about this...doesn't matter who's right, as long as we're both profitable ;D ;D ;D USDX took out its stops. 1/2 off at 75 pips, and letting the rest run to the ADR/LC with SL at +40 on the remaining position.

    What made you switch your bias from the fiber chart you posted a few hours ago?

    Trading With 90% Setups & Consistency

    Had a pretty similar outlook on Fiber.... Price didn't make it down to the 4h, 1h, or 15m +OB I was waiting for. Price did hit the 61% retracement that happened to line up quite nicely with the CDR and shot up a quick 35 pips or so. I'm currently awaiting a retracement of that move and will...

    I thought you missed your entry by <1 pip, and I was just saying that when that happens to me, its very frustrating and I feel robbed. And those feelings have caused me to chase price in that situation. That's all. Matty

    Thanks Sqa. Price took until the very beginning of NYO to make it down to the level I was eyeing. It made a nice run upward and retraced for a NYO reversal buy. I got in just a hair above the OTE and price ran up about 30 pips. If this were a counter trend trade, I probably would've closed...

    MS up, retraced into a mitigation block, overlapping bullish OBs, USDX SMT divergence. Looking for a buy in LO.... My questions are whether price will move up to take stops above 1.5272 before making the true Judas down, and if we do get a Judas down to set up a LO buy, will it sweep the lows...

    Also, USDX in a MM sell model after hitting resistance at 94.62. Could makes a Judas swing up to 1h - OB and previous support turned resistance at 93.84, which is right on the 61.8% retracement, and then move down to sweep Feb 3rd's lows. Matty

    So I took two losses today...shoulda respected market structure more I guess. I think that I feel "smarter" or something when I'm trying to call the reversal of a swing and it makes me even feel like I'm doing more study and predicting so it makes me think that I'm cracking the code and that...

    Yeah, sure did. But I don't know how we know which liquidity pool price will shoot for on any given day, ya know? How come taking out the most recent double top was enough to fuel a down move on the 27th/28th but yesterday/today we had to take out the most recent and then just have a small...

    Guess I wasn't picking up on that divergence... In regards to my previous post, I guess the answer for me was...YES, you do trade a NY reversal. Price did sweep those highs @ 1.5270, and I used an ICT reflection pattern + that bearish OB I mentioned + institutional 1.5280 + SMT divergence...

    There's that big ol' bearish 4H OB sitting above the double (triple) top around 1.5270, but the question for me then becomes, would you sell into it for a NY reversal trade??? Matty

    ICT Style nightly review

    Yeah....so, looks like it pretty much shot straight up as soon as I shut the screen off :-\ Yes, I was going against market structure, but that's something I struggle with too. If you look at the 27th/28th, MS was broken to the upside on the 4h and daily just to take stops out above the 22nd...

    Also, just thought this was of note... Overlapping 61.8% fibs used for entry. So far its had a nice little reaction. Gotta go to bed to get some sleep for the real (only for now 8) ) job. Matty

    I guess I don't see the difference between the OB you posted and called a breaker and the two OBs I posted that I called possible breakers. Both seem to have been used to run price up to grab stops that could be used for a potential larger move downward, no??? Matty PS - just got in on the...

    Thanks for the thought GG, but the way I look at it is that they used that +OB you mentioned to push price up into that liquidity pool, and once they gobble up all those stops, they're gonna use em to push price down. And based off the 1H SMT divergences posted below, the Cable had no reason to...

    One other thought... True breaker could be higher up, and at a different OTE level. And I actually like this fib better, cause I'm not pulling from a minor swing high within the over all range. So hopefully LO will give more clarity. Matty
