It’s 8am and how the price reacted within a period of 8hrs is that price made a turning point at the bearish FVG but made another turning 50% of the bullish inverse head and shoulders range which took the price to the upside trading higher then the bearish FVG. This caused price to break out of the M15 downtrending channel.

Lesson from setup: What I learnt from the setup so far is that when price is headed somewhere as a result of a FVG and there don’t seem to be another FVG anywhere, it means that the price is poised to create the same range it created before a high and a low would be created after a range, vice versa for a bearish range would be ‘the low and high created after the range’.

With the current M15 zoomed in setup, I see that for the past hour and a couple of minutes counting, price has been bearish as a result of mitigating a bearish Order block. Now as opposed to the previous bearish Order block where price made a turning point an hour after mitigating the bearish OB understanding that it happened because of the imbalance created by the price on its way to mitigate the bearish OB; this current bearish OB to be mitigated did not leave any bullish imbalance. There is no imbalance created anywhere below the 4805.031 & 4762.193 price levels which together create a zone. In that zone however, there is a lot of sell side liquidity.

The beauty of a top down analysis is that directional biases correspond in different timeframes.

The thing about how I trade is that I cannot take a risk of placing a trade without know the range that I’m trading whether it’s a bullish or bearish range regardless of its length. Right now, price has mitigated the bearish order block and has been bearish ever since. Two things may play out here.

1:Price might go back to mitigate the bearish FVG it created on the M15 with this bearish range; have an imbalance in the bullish range where price mitigated the bearish FVG first, followed by the bullish imbalance(FVG) then take the price to trade higher to the bearish unmitigated FVG in the H1 timeframe.

2:Price might mitigate the bearish FVG and continue trading lower.

Either way, I’m always waiting on the other side of the charts for price to leave some footsteps.

I am currently waiting for a buy signal from my template.

Buy signal recieved, I’m placing my buy trades
I rode the first wave but the picture below shows that price took out a spike before triggering my orders. This is one of the reasons why I like to place a couple of order immediately after a signal confirmation. It’s so that when price takes out a spike at any time, I would be in already as price collects my orders and moves.

However😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣price just left a bullish fair value gap(price imbalance) in the M5 Timeframe.

I’m in🤧🔥

Final war positions…

Now we hold and wait

The first spike is out

I’m waiting for the price to continue moving in this directional bias

I should see a bullish spike on the current small candle before 10:05 on the M15 timeframe.

Results

Price has mitigated the M15 bearish FVG. I’ll let the price play out for now… I’ll pull up the charts again in 3hrs

Boom500 Buy Signal

It’s currently 18:01and I Just placed my trades according the bullish FVG on the M15 timeframe and my template giving out a buy signal. Price hasn’t satisfied the directional bias as yet. It’s still ranging around the bullish FVG. See the chart below.

Results are loading…

I opened 20 positions with 0.20 lot size. I did this so that I can fill the Imbalance with my orders and instead of opening 2 positions with lot size 1 and accrue a lot of losses from one specific level, it’s better to open my trades with the amount of positions that are still equivalent to lot size 2 in total.

Price has trade past the Imbalance it is currently trading in the middle of an M30 bullish order block. Price still hasn’t satisfied the buy signal that my template took out after I identified a Fair Value Gap. Conclusion, I’m still holding.

However, some of my opened orders are closed and will continue closing if price continues to fall.

I also see an M5 Timeframe bearish FVG that I missed. That’s the FVG that drove price down this hard and at that time, there’s another M1 bullish Order block that I identified.

This means that the bullish Order Block and the bullish FVG were invalid in this case. When price mitigated the bullish FVG, it went up a bit and mitigated the M15 bearish FVG then went down from there. I think that it’s headed for the Order block identified around the 4785.510 price level.

But I seriously didn’t think that price would fall that hard after mitigating the bearish M15 FVG because price didn’t fall

Price kept on closing more positions in my account which decreased my balance as a result

As price kept on falling to the point where it left my account at an initial balance of $5 from $113, I ended up analyzing for more reasons that wouldve drove the price that low without trading higher as a results of mitigating the FVG identified and the Order block. Price was actually looking to mitigate the support level, make a 123 touch on the downside before trading higher to the bearish OB identified on the H1 timeframe.

The reason why the bearish FVG was invalid was because it had no other bullish order block or FVG that would make a price continuation. And price had already created a 123 touch on the downside.

Trading week’s lesson.

FVGs and OBs showing where the price is likely to go. Remember not to buy at a bearish Fair Value Gap and don’t sell where there is a bullish FVG even when my template takes out a signal contrary to the direction of the FVG.
Same applies for OB’s.
Only take signals that share the same directional bias with FVG’s when price is trading next to the FVG’s or OB’s.

18 December 2023 Trading Journal

What a dramatic night I had on Sunday trading Boom500 after church 😂😂😂hehehhee!

Kept on adding balance on my account for me to hold the running trades that are in losses so that I don’t get taken out of the game😂🤞. Long as the template gave me a confirmed buy, I don’t care how long it sells for, I know when it comes back it’s coming back heavy.

Price just took out a sell signal and I sold with the smallest lot size using 4 positions. This sell signal was risky because I’m selling on an uptrending market in all timeframes.

That is why exactly 1minute after I sold, price took out a spike. I made a $1 loss. I’m placing more sell trades but this time wihh a 1lot size using 2 trades because I just got another sell signal.

The reason why I’m choosing to sell is because although the spike came out after the first signal was given, price respects the first signals short term directional bias.,just as it did a lot of times in the past.

Opened 2 trades with lot size 1.00. I get $6 @take profit level.
Price took out a spike before hitting my tp🥵🥵

Lesson, place tp of a sell trade at the last bearish candle before the low because sometimes it doesn’t turn at the low but turn slightly before it. Especially in an uptrend. If it’s an uptrend then place tp at the 2nd last candle.

After price took out a spike it took out a buy signal. I placed 4 buy trades with 0.20 lot size. I’m holding until price hits tp or I’ll close with partial profits.

I slept around 3am, I just couldn’t take it🥵🤞I had a long day. I just woke up now and yeah, I’m waiting for a buy signal.

Otherwise, the last two trades before the one that’s about to be given were trades I could’ve ate from. The buy signal had 3 spikes but I held I think I would waited for 2 small candles for me to be satisfied with the fact that I’m holding a buy trade, otherwise I would’ve closed with the first one and the sell signal provided 13 candles for me to eat.

Price is currently trading at an M30 IFVG. It touch this level the first time byaking a turning point exactly on the low of the first bearish candle. Price went up and came back down again to trade inside of this M30 FVG.

I placed one 0.20 buy position because I’m also expecting a buy signal on the M1 timeframe… A spike just came out as I am typing this…

Was waiting for a buy continuation but the price kept on falling down back down.

Price just gave out a signal. I won’t be placing any trades because price is currently trading at a previous relevant high point with a confirmation candle and at the same time, it’s next to a low. If I open using a big lot size and prize happens to take out a spike then I’d be in trouble. Below is a picture showing the high and low respectively.

Now because the template took out a sell signal and price decided to trade towards the highlighted low, I was waiting for a buy signal. Price didn’t even have to mitigate the low in order for it to take out a spike.

I’m scaling in my buy trades as price falls.

A spike came out, and….

I just closed my buy trades with losses because price is about to give me a sell signal, there I’m not holding the trades. Another reason for closing is that price had already taken out a spike after the buy signal which satisfied all positions. Hence there is a high probability that the sell signal will likely reach the other low. As I am typing this, a spike just came out again before price confirmed the sell signal. Therefore the sell signal is invalid without confirmation. Price just took out another small bullish spike. This spike serves as a bullish confirmation. I’m scaling in my entries as price starts to fall.

I have a bit of a tough one here. My template gave out a sell signal and as it did that, price took out a spike immediately after confirming the sell signal. That spike was followed by a buy signal which was also confirmed. It a spike never came out. The template then went ahead to send another sell signal. This might be because the first signal that was confirmed was a sell signal. Now because I haven’t figured out the quality of this trade and it’s probable outcome, I’m staying out of this one.

I have to check on which other instance did the price behave like this in the past.

What I didn’t notice about the above mentioned price behavior is that the signal came out when price was trading at a low and we do know that lows and previous swing highs are relevant points that I have to take note of when I’m looking to sell. After the spike came out and my template gave me a buy signal, it only took out a small spike which didn’t satisfy the entire bullish sentiment and the price kept on falling. What I’m looking for is a buy opportunity to ride the wave surpassing the high that the template took out a signal at.

Ohkayy, I have to attend to some other things for the rest of the day.

Alright I’m back now and can continue doing my thing.

Today price has been moving in an odd manner resulting in my template to give me signals at lows that I would use as tp level. Personally I wouldn’t consider placing my entries next to swing points I use as tp levels because price can paint some spikes and as a result leave you to blowing your account. When the price is like this, it’s better to only take buying opportunities but it’s not safe. I’d rather trade quality over a large quantity of trades that are not worth taking the risk.

It’s 00:05 midnight and I’m already on the charts, why? Bcoz honestly I didn’t have any sleep, I’m done writing my thoughts and ideas down and thought oh well… I might as well check the charts. So I’m waiting for a sell signal.

Signal came now @@01:00am trades take and to hit. It was a quick one

Spike came out a few seconds after closing. First trade out the day was a success. 9more to go…

Today I’m not looking to trade for the whole day. I’m going to close my MT5 platform as soon as I need to go somewhere today. We’ll run it up on Monday. Today I’m just taking small crumbs.

Just received a valid buy signal. Spike caught 🔥.

Now I’m waiting for the 3rd trade of the day; sell signal.

The template just gave me another valid sell signal. I’m placing my buy trades.

Tp hit

Waiting for a buy signal…

I think regarding the Crash1000 and Boom500 asset class, I have come to a conclusion as to which asset class I’m going to focus on and that’s Boom500. This is because every sell that I get from this template doesn’t waste any time, it puts you into profits straight away. Even if the price takes out a spike after confirming a sell signal, it still comes back. The ability to grow significantly is very high with this Asset class as opposed to the Crash1000 asset class.

So I’ve decided. I’m no more trading Crash1000. I’ll only be focusing on 1 chart being Boom500.

Buy signal came in and was chopped real quickly. It happened so fast that I didn’t have enough time to post an update on it.

Mind you, at this point I had placed 4 trades and daily goal is $50 but I’m already at $30 and it’s 2am. Normally I’d take 10trades before getting here. Dilo di changitse. I think I have to adjust my goals based on the amount of trades I take per day(10 trades maximum) and just trade in a disciplined manner.

Now I’m waiting for a sell signal going for the 5th trade for the day.

On second thought, I have to get some rest so i’ll open my MT5 platform around 9am. If I would have not uploaded an updated journal then it means I ended up somewhere.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I’m up again. Just got a sell signal right now and I entered with lot size 4 and even placed my tp very closed because I got the signal next to a low and that’s a dangerous place to wanna leave your trades running still.

Tp hit. Trade 5/10.

Not gonna lie, Boom500 has been amazing but I miss Crash1000😭. That toxic ex…

Just got a buy signal from my template. I’m using bigger lot sizes next time😂😂. Otherwise I chopped it man.

My template just gave out a valid buy signal. I placed 3 lot size 1 trades.
My template just gave out another opposite signal(sell) but hasn’t moved in the direction of the first signal. I’m holding my buy trades.
I just transferred $50 from my profile for me to be able to hold the running losses.

A 2nd buy signal just came out and it’s a confirmed signal. Click the link to watch full video of my trade. Link: https://youtu.be/OdtkfPxB1Lo?si=AotxG7usu354ePi7

I just received a valid sell signal. I documented the trade but can’t upload it here because uploading a video that’s more than 5minutes requires a paid plan. Click (the link) to the video.

Final outcome, $20 loss from profits made today. Frankly, I’m far from making any losses today😂. It was a tug of war.

Just received a valid sell signal.

Tp hit

Transfered $100 into my profile and I’m pushing with $29

Just recieved another sell signal. Made a loss due to not exiting at my low. Price took out a spike after the low.

Recieved buy signals immediately after closing my losses.

I recieved a valid buy signal but price took out a small spike. I held the trades hoping that the price would take out more spikes but that wasn’t the case. I held the trades even when the price took out a sell signal after that small spike. I was punished for that bad judgement and as a result I accrued losses.

Lesson: When I get a signal and a small spike comes out, hold that buy only until I get a comfirmed opposite signal. That would mean that the buy signal I got was satisfied by the small spike.

It turns out that I have to go out with my family. I’ll open up the charts again on Monday.

I took some trades earlier before going out with my family. The trades were based on the template that I use. I managed to clap back on the losses I made and I hit my target for the day which is $50. I’ll start working from Monday 18th of December 2023.

Last trade I took🔥
