How to use the 169 to trade a large gap down and a strong trending move
Ranging PA and how to identify it early in the session
When it’s good to trade counter trend
When inside the neutral zone, there can’t be an Imp/Corr sequence so how do I trade M1 TLs?
Why it pays to keep long term price charts in mind
This is what the PA looked like before a break down
Imp-Corr structure breaks and the trend reverses
Anatomy of the 4 Jan rally (NFP day)
Effectiveness of 169 for finding value in a tight market
The magic of fibs
Failing 3Min Bolli fade means we’re trending
169 on M15 is powerful
Five KLs within 13pts of one another means it’s time to stand aside
Thinking through scenarios: anticipation instead of reaction
While above CBOL, trade on the long side looking for value buys at KLs
While above CBOL, trade on the long side looking for value buys at KLs

Should I be using Zones instead of levels? Or a mixture of both?
Ex-gap from a low is irrelevant if the market approaches it from above
Buying pullbacks on a strong open needs to be part of my plan
ON TLs provided support – often seems to be an important level
Using zones instead hasn’t worked too well so far

A case for a support zone around SUP 1
Question today was ‘where is there a really good value buy?’

Impatient entry cost 1.5R
To fade or not to fade when the market hits the 169?
J-Lo fails and then broken triangle reversal sets up for a 7R trade
Trading the 169 on the M3 Chart
Trade took 7 mins to set up and I talked myself out of it
When the 3Min Bolli fails, look for an Impulsive-Corrective structure
J-Los that didn’t work, but were they valid setups?
Using probability-thinking to trade a break out
The key to making STE at 1:1 work for me is precise entries
Reactive 169 trades that don’t work (and weren’t likely to..)
Using a triangle at the 169 and below a level to trade a break of it (H-C-B)
Triangles and compressions are the best way to trade breaks
Why trading breakouts using traingles above or below them is much safer
Reading market flow to choose the highest probability 169 fades
When the 3Min Bolli fails but presents an Imp-Corr structure opportunity instead

Perfect spike at cash open but doesn’t run
Once price has broken out, 3Min Bolli loses big time
Jigsaw trade – which ones were valid?
Using Rule of 3 for Jigsaw
Market opens above CBOL – so how do I get on board?
Retest of a strong, strong level
Twice today the best setups were not Bolli Bands
Unspectacular J-Lo marks the final long for the day
Jigsaw counter-trend vs. with trend

Strong ON and trending but market also reacting to levels so H-C-B and 3Min Bolli claen up
Possibilities for 3Min Bolli 2nd chance entries
Jigsaw example
Taking a straight break is a recipe for disaster
Just buy Fut close (twice)… that’s it
Jigsaws with-trend are so much easier
Is gap fill outside Bollis two trades or one?
Too many entries at a sub-standard 3Min Bolli
What would have worked?
Selecting retests according to PA context
Using second spike to take 3Min Bolli entries
You could never say that this was a fantastic Jigsaw setup
Triangles below KLs
Triangle below a level scores again
Triangles are a great way of trading a broken KL or TL
Imp/Corr short makes 4R but looks invalid on the static chart
