    • Stop-loss placed a few pips below the entry zone.
  • Bearish Scenario:
    • Similar strategy using previous high and current shadow for entry.
    • Look for market pullback for entry confirmation.

Trading Rules

  • Trade between 9 AM and 3 PM London time (4 AM to 10 AM New York time).
  • Mark zones before the trading window opens.
  • Utilize smart money entry confirmation or reversal patterns (e.g., double top, head and shoulders).
  • Stop-loss set outside refined or unrefined zones.
  • Take profit aligned with the high/low of the current day's candle.

  • Bearish Entry: Enter at supply zone intersection, stop-loss slightly above, take profit at low before pullback.

Questions and Clarifications

  • No wick on the current day’s candle: Look for demand/supply zones below/above previous day’s close.
  • Inconsistent candle trends: No trade if previous and current day candles are not similarly bullish or bearish.
  • Ranging market conditions: Prefer trend continuation when last two days show consistent direction.
  • No pullback occurrence: Wait for the next trading day or look at other currency pairs.
  • Price exceeding previous day’s high/low: Avoid trading as it might indicate a trend reversal.
