I see price setting up for level 2 consolidation and you getting locked into the range...setting up for a gap move on Monday....

Since this is a level 2 rise, the gap "may" be to the lower side Monday, before rising to level 3....

In your count, you have marked the stop hunt as level 2. You can't have 2 levels of rise on 1 day, which you have done with levels 1 and 2.

You will need the gap down Monday to exit this trade if it plays out that way....otherwise it may go against you....

Hi guys
just fantastic thread
I guess putting in a lot of screen time will pay off

There isn't enough volume to move price much today...look for price to range to the close....same situation with the other pair today. Not trading anything myself.

I was not sure I could spot the M's and W's, so I pulled my charts out so I could see the passage of a lot of time. The shapes leap out at you when you do that.

I placed some vertical lines at the start of the second leg of a few so I could find them again when I went close again to see the detail.

Sure enough, there is a pinbar or rrt there every time.

Look at the charts across the higher time frames as well...you will see ample trading opportunities for taking longer term trades off the patterns...

This is also a great way to determine price direction and staying on the right side of it during trades taken on the smaller time frames...

Any chance they're waiting for London to close and traders to get tired before using the low liquidity excuse to move a level?

Anything is possible during low liquidity...still not trading anything here till Monday.

Good idea. I'll follow your example. I've a small buy on GU so might just move the stop to BE and call it a day. Have a good weekend everyone - give yourselves a rest from the charts so you your mind is clear & refreshed by Monday
