24 Jan 2025 (Trade Example): GBPUSD

 GBPUSD long trade on 24/1/25

Pre-Analysis:

- Trade based on counter trend.

- As GBPUSD direction is down, upon buyers active on this pair to push price higher (this also mean a pullback/deal coming in) we can temporary trade for a long up until max of previous seller area on higher timeframe. In this case daily.

- This need to be a very careful trade.

- We only can consider this if the pullback came in strong, indicating there was buyers pushing this price.

- Strength meter for GBP and USD

Entry:

- Entry time around 10:00am (Asian session)

- The red line in above chart indicate previous seller's area that possible to use as take profit area.

- Trade based on trend pullback.

- Currency strength EUR = +4, CAD = -4

Entry:

Post Analysis:

- Another scratch trade.

- This was a FOMO trade.

- Immediate strength meter also not at the required level.

- I believe my understanding of trend pullback concept still not there. There was no 'deal' in this trade. I myself label it as a 'deal' while in actuality was not.

- I may change to look for a 'deal' from daily timeframe. As now Urban Forex has their market analysis session every Monday, I will take their input to find my trade setup.

- Will also abandon calculate for strength meter, but will focus on the flow of market and correlation.

- In mean time, I will trade also my scalping trading system with always target 1R profit.

- Update (28/1/25), price did went up starting on 24/1/25 and only able to make slightly new high until 25/1/25.
