Thursday - 04 Dec 2025

Took another position on GBP after the TP on EUR. Both GBP and EUR tapped the swing low for liquidity and started to move upward, aiming to take the swing high. Unfortunately, EUR failed to sweep the swing high, while GBP managed to sweep the swing high created during A2 — giving an SMT divergence.

I was still looking for shorts since I was anticipating a pullback. Once the market shifted, I missed the initial pullback and waited for price to break through the FVG. When it disrespected the FVG (showing strength), I placed a sell limit on the FVG. Targeting Asia’s low. WIN.

A+ setup: liquidity, SMT bearish, CHOCH, disrespected FVG.

Thursday - 04 Dec 2025

Yesterday was a strong bullish candle — the 8th consecutive green candle. Asia started with a pullback/downtrend from yesterday’s bullish move. Then, before London opened, it began to CHOCH to the upside with strong volume. It didn’t show any pullback after the BOS and tapped the previous high (liquidity).

After the A2 session and the liquidity sweep, my bias shifted to a reversal/pullback for correction. I waited for confirmation on the 5M, then dropped to the 1M for the FVG. There was also an overbought RAI on the 5M, and the 1H closed below the previous high, showing weakness. I placed a sell limit on the price imbalance, targeting the untapped BOS from A2. WIN.

A3 session: A-setup — liquidity, confirmation, and RSI all aligned. Be patient and wait for confirmation.

Tuesday - 02 Dec 2025

Yesterday formed a graveyard candlestick that closed green. Price expanded upward during A2 up to A3, then corrected during A4 and continued into A5. Overall, it was a roller-coaster price action day.

After the strong correction, the Asian session consolidated. Then before London opened, a surge of volume pushed price upward, sweeping Asia’s high, followed by manipulation that tapped the 1H demand zone.

I entered a position when A4 began. Price swept A2’s liquidity, creating a bearish SMT, while DXY showed a BOS to the upside. I waited for a CHOCH and then executed a market sell on the pullback after structure broke. It was an A+ setup — liquidity, CHOCH, bearish SMT, and balanced RSI — but still resulted in a LOSS.

Price was seeking the premium zone, and I failed to wait for it. I lost patience, even though I managed to stay disciplined earlier in the day.

Lesson:
Be patient. Respect premium/discount levels, demand and supply zones AT higher-timeframe narrative.

Tuesday

Yesterday continued the overall downtrend. During Asia, price showed an accumulating uptrend. I marked the discount level, and before London opened, price swept the 15M swing. A 5M CRT also appeared, but I didn’t take that setup.

I marked the swing low and viewed it as liquidity. After that liquidity was tapped and the 15M candle closed above it, I immediately entered a long position without waiting for lower-timeframe confirmation (CHOCH or CRT) on the pullback. Price then dropped, swept the previous low, and the trade resulted in a LOSS.

During A3, price tapped the previous low and then started to pull back — which I anticipated, and was the reason I took the long position — but it later swept A2’s high.

After that, I marked liquidity incorrectly again. I labeled the 5M accumulation sell-side liquidity as my main level. I was experiencing FOMO in the bearish move. I didn’t notice the 15M structure and focused only on the 5M timeframe, where I saw an engulfing pattern and immediately went short. When I switched to the higher timeframe, I realized it was a healthy bullish trend. LOSS.

0/2

Lesson:
Look for 15M liquidity first. Higher timeframe liquidity = higher probability. Then wait for lower-timeframe confirmation (5M CRT/BOS).

Good bias, wrong timing. Wrong liquidity placement. FOMO. Not patient enough.

Friday - Nov 14 2025

Yesterday formed a bullish candle that swept the existing 15M swing and closed while still respecting the 15M swing low created earlier. RSI was overbought on the HTF, and price tapped the 1D supply zone. My bias was to expect a healthy pullback (short).

From the A5 to A1 sessions, price showed a healthy pullback while respecting the BOS created during the expansion session, which also formed the previous high. After the pullback, a 15M supply was created, and price tapped into it before the A2 session. After the tap, I waited for confirmation such as a CHOCH on the 5M. On lower timeframes, specifically the 1M, there was a fresh FVG where I placed a sell limit. WIN

I took another short after a manipulation occurred and price swept the Asia high created before A2. All the bullish candles had no pullback, which was not a sign of a healthy bullish trend. After the liquidity grab, price tapped the existing 5M supply and then formed a bearish engulfing candle. I took the short immediately after that bearish candle, targeting a 1.5RR. WIN

A+ setups. RR 1:3 and 1.5RR. Good trades before A2 and A4 sessions. Clear CHOCH and pullbacks into FVG.

Wednesday - 11 Nov 2025

Yesterday showed a daily continuation of the uptrend. After the previous candle closed, the Asian session continued with a slow, accumulating downtrend. I marked the swing low, expecting it to take liquidity before continuing to the upside.

When price reached near my marked liquidity, it formed a 15M indecision candle, supported by a 5M CHOCH and confluence with an FVG. I placed a limit buy on the FVG-CHOCH area and targeted the swing high. WIN.

A+ setup: Liquidity grab, CHOCH, and FVG on the pullback.

Nov 11, 2025 – Tuesday

Yesterday formed a Doji candle, signaling indecision after several consecutive green candles. On the higher timeframe, price was nearing the overbought zone.
During the Asian session, price consolidated and tapped into the demand zone, creating the session low. Before London open, price pulled back and then broke structure (5M BOS) above resistance. After a healthy pullback, it started to move into an uptrend.

I took a short position after price nearly swept the 15M swing high. At that moment, DXY had already broken structure (BOS) on the same swing high, and GBP was showing bearish SMT divergence. RSI was also near the overbought level, which gave me confidence to short.
Result: ❌ LOSS

Looking back, it was obvious that the long setup was valid after the CHOCH and BOS formed in line with yesterday’s price action. I was too fixated on my bearish bias and ignored what the chart was clearly showing.

Lesson: PRICE ACTION IS STILL KING — respect what the market is showing, not what you want to see.

Weekly Plan (Nov 10–14, 2025)

Market Bias:

Short-Term: Uptrend — expecting bullish movement on EUR until GBP reaches the Daily Break of Structure (BOS) and EUR sweeps sell-side liquidity.

Overall Bias: Downtrend — maintaining a broader bearish outlook after liquidity objectives are met.

Notes:

Watch for potential reversal signals once GBP hits the Daily BOS.

Monitor EUR for liquidity sweep confirmation before looking for continuation setups in line with the overall downtrend.

Monday, Nov 3, 2025.

First trading day of the month. EUR is in an overall downtrend. The market opened with a gap down, followed by price accumulation. Before London opened, it swept the previous day’s swing high and then dropped lower.

After the big move, I placed a limit order on the 5M Order Block because of a CHOCH and a clear BOS, expecting a pullback.

However, my position got stopped out as the price sought the CHOCH level again before distributing even lower. LOSS!! Ganun Talaga guys!

Be patient. Look for the perfect opportunity. Always wait for liquidity.
