EJ this AM LO Session... Decided to filter short setup, though it looked better. Reason was that it appeared that EJ had done its thing to the downside, zoom out analysis, and I could see there was a chance of getting principle C. Even taking the short was not wrong, and if you are a beginner you should have taken it, but ignoring the long was a mistake if you did, because long was supported by many factors, including the principle c rent that you might have just paid. I decided to pick the top of this trade when exiting, i cannot explain how I do this, this is certainly a feel for the market, experience and the mathematics!

Today a GU Setup on M1.
IT was a setup that said to me.
M5 would be in wave 4 but at the same time it pushed down and pulled back which created this nice wave 3 on m1 and wave 4 had a fruit at the peak of it. Took the classic setup short and targetted TZ1 for closing half the position and trailed aims levels. The result was not lovely 1% account growth. YD was not so good so what... its not a day's game... its a long term commitment composed of not 10 not 100 thousands of little trades. Pictures shown below without dots for those who can ride without the little

I was not available for London Session but managed to get to my charts a bit later and found a couple of setups. The setup on GU was trading the "4th wave of M5" so it was not HPT! however the trade on EU was in the direction of trend on m5. (Setup on m1 was also above m5 gator)
