    Having analyzed the trade, I decided to return to trading on the 4th СP. The main goal for June is to increase the number of transactions, preferably by 2-3 times. I will devote more time to test trading + evening analysis of sessions. I take it apart at the end of the day and I don't always throw it in my diary. Why do I need it if I keep all the selected information from the parse in my head (from which something regularly wets out, and the necessary information, I think, at double speed). Therefore, regardless of whether there are transactions or not, mandatory analysis in the evening. And after each analyzed session, draw a specific conclusion and describe it here.

    There's only one deal today. Having analyzed the 1H structure, I saw a downward trend on it. Although I can see now during the description of this trade, I was not sufficiently focused then, because according to the rules described in my TP, the uptrend was not completed, and all I observed was just a very deep rollback (about 80% of the impulse). I'll still describe the deal as I saw it then. In the 1H screen, a red arrow marks the entrance point. I was expecting to come in on a rollback then. After breaking through zone 1, the price formed a beautiful and weak pullback to it, which led to the entrance to the shorts by 4 candles. Details on 1M, also after a slight rollback. Anyway, the problem is attentiveness, and the deal is terrible, contradicts one of the first and most banal points of my TP. Fortanulo today.

  2. Evening analysis of the session.

    USD/JPY

    Trend on 1H is upward, but at the beginning of trading the price could not extend it, one more wave up. You could see the customers' weakness.
    Zone 1 prevented them from continuing their trend. I have not found any distinct moments for TP entry. But there are a few things to look out for. I'm not very fond of trading in figures, but at the moment it was formed, if I'm not mistaken, by head and shoulders. That is, the zone triggered after 2 full breakthroughs in both directions, after the turn (marked the zone (1)).
    The next obvious point, but which I often do not pay attention to, is (2) what could have prompted the price reversal. The shadow of the previous candle.

    At 1H, it's an upward trend, with a pretty deep pullback.
    Such a deep pullback imposes on the thoughts about the end of the trend, but in such situations you need to stay cool and act according to the rules prescribed in the TP (as I did not do during trading))). I've already described this situation in the analysis of deals. Found one deal. The price shows the strength in upward movement, passed zone after zone. It's not a big braking in front of the area, for me, it's a little hint that the area is likely to be breached. Further, the price forms a weak beautiful rollback at 1M + in the 1H structure it looks like a continuation of the upward movement.

    On 1H side trend, with a better chance of going down.
    5M down. Zone 1, was important to me and expected it to bounce back down. Now, as I describe it, I'm starting to notice a little mistake. I entered at the marked place with 5 candlesticks, waiting for the area to bounce down and continue descending. Deal in - by 2 points, there is a complete mistake with the exposition. What not taken into account : 1. the zone is tested 5 times already and in this situation, it is no longer very strong and one should expect that it can be punctured. This point should already somehow influence the choice of expiry time (its reduction). 2. there is a minimum strong recent one, which I did not notice (the price has turned
    exactly at the same level). These 2 points, at least, would have had an impact on the reduction of expiration in this transaction.

    On 1H upward trend. The price, yesterday made a strong impulse of 1200 points. I was expecting a downward correction today.
    When the price approached Zone 1, expected a bounce. The zone was very important to me. But it happens, it doesn't work. Came in for five candles.
    When approaching the equally important Zone 2, the price showed a slight slowdown. Entered on a rollback of 1M, after a short descent down.

    Highlighted an important zone 1. I was looking for entry points near her.
    Performed 3 entrances down from her.
    In the first case, the buyers encountered strong resistance from the sellers in the zone. + We couldn't continue our movement upwards, we could see by candlesticks at 1M.
    In 2 and 3 cases, the same reasons to enter. But I couldn't choose the right exposure. Came in for 20 minutes.

    The downward trend on 1H. Waiting for zone 1 to break through and move on. We had to find proof of exposures. Found them in a rollback at 1M, which was not quite weak, but was quickly closed by sellers.

    The price went up to the important zone 1. The first time I missed the opportunity to enter. For the second time I saw the weakness of the buyers and the expediency of entering downstairs. The entrance is 5 candles down.USD/CHF

    On 1H side motion. During the analysis, I saw a couple of hints that when the movement leaves the BC, it is likely to move down. Pushed it out of the way. At 5M, after a slight downward movement, the price also got stuck in the sidewall. Looked for entry points from zone 1 to support. The first entrance, the weakness of buyers at 1M and the entrance to the shorts for 5 candles. You're lucky.
    In the second case, after the support was broken down, I wanted to see the buyers' weakness. That's what I wanted to see. Entering the shorts for 4 candles, waiting for a strong impulse down. The price went up for the Zone 1 test and collapsed, completely breaking through the support.

    The downward trend on 1H. Waiting for the completion of a small rollback at 1H and a rebound from zone 1. Performed two entrances from this area. But the price quickly turned around and went for a second test.
    There was also a strong zone 2 at the top. The rollback on 1H is deeper than I expected. The rebound from zone 2, was considered a good idea. Entering from zone 2 by 4 candles down.

    At 1H, at the opening of the session, there was a strong short-term upward momentum. Expected a deeper downward correction. Zone 1 was not the ideal zone to enter from. But he was still looking for an opportunity. I saw the weakness of buyers, which at that moment testified to me that it was impossible for buyers to break through this zone and continue the up impulse. Entering down by 4 candles, presumably to the next zone.

    It's a very similar situation to the last deal. Just saw more weakness when approaching zone 1. Entering 5 candles down.

    The price came to the important zone 1. It expected a rebound from the zone in the direction of a larger trend by 1H. I slightly overestimated the bounce speed. I expected the instant, because the test was repeated. I opened two deals down, the first one by 4 candlesticks, the second one by 5.

    Here on 1H is the opposite situation, that is the trend on 1H up. But before the last impulse I noticed a deep retreat and on the last impulse a strong slowdown when approaching the zone. Next, come out of the sidewalk and return to the lower boundary with a very weak pullback. Entering down by 4 candlesticks, the next possible price stop was in the area of zone 2.

    On 1H you can see a clear downtrend. At 5M zone 1 was marked. Zone 1 is an important area. When the price fully entered the zone, decided to enter down. Performed 2 inputs on kickbacks (1M), towards Zone 2. Then expected a breakthrough of zone 2 and continuation of the global downtrend.
