Some additional context: I used the "fractal" entry style, so I entered after seeing the fractal on the 11:06:30 candle become engulfed, and I based my price target on the low of the 11:09:30 candle (2RR). It's possible this was just a valid loss, but I'd love to learn if anyone avoided this trade, maybe based on a rule they've found helpful that I could have missed.

@Mark Clarno good points. I reviewed the best trades from those 20, and I think I reasonably squeezed as much as profit as I could have from those. Trade 1: CL Long, 1min, 5.3RR (although it did reach 9RR by EOD) Trade 2: NQ Short, 5min, 2.0RR (maybe reached 3RR) Trade 3: CL Long, 1min, 2.0RR (maybe reached 3RR) Trade 4: CL Short, 1min, 0.3RR (missed 2.0RR by 3 ticks, manually closed for some profit before price retraced and would have hit SL) Trade 5: NQ Long, 5min, 2.0RR (didn't go much higher than 2.0RR) One difference between the example from the recording and my trades is timeframe - the example used the 30s timeframe, while my trades were all on longer timeframes. Including a screenshot of the 5.3RR CL Long trade from 5 Nov as an example. In terms of profitability, it seems these factors are favorable: lower timeframe (30s or 1min), entry on 5min order blocks within 1hr demand. In terms of profitability, are there any factors that you've found to be favorable?

@Tim Morton working on it...

@Kyle Henris I agree *in theory* about not changing strategy, but in reality, sometimes a strategy simply doesn't work as well over time, and I believe you have made alterations to entries (i.e., using different timeframes). Please correct me if I'm wrong and/or provide a little more clarification on what you mean by strategy hopping. I would love to stick with one strategy, but I'm struggling to build confidence in one strategy and have been trading for 2-3 years.

@Kyle Henris yes, I agree. Although that idea is separate from identifying a profitable trading strategy and making changes to that strategy as necessary. Even the best trader can fail to generate profit when using a strategy that does not have a consistent advantage.

@Mertik Trades thanks for sharing! I was watching this area as well. I think we might have different entry criteria and ways of drawing zones, and I didn't see a 5min Superman NQ Long entry on Friday. Including a screenshot showing how I drew the 1hr demand area and my reasoning behind it: when I saw the Friday 1 Nov 9am 1hr candle close above the Friday 1 Nov 1am 1hr candle (fractal), I drew the 1hr demand. So, now I'm waiting for price to reenter this 1hr demand and will look for a possible entry on a lower timeframe when it does. Mind sharing more detail on how the setup met your criteria?

@Mertik Trades thanks for following up! I backtested this area just now, and I drew that 1hr demand slightly lower, so I didn't see this setup. It looks like you may have used the LuxAlgo indicator to identify that 1hr demand? Definitely looks like a good area...in blue, I highlighted what appears to be an unfilled 5min order block at the top of that 1hr demand, which is right where price started to bounce on 31 Oct. For my 5min Superman entries for NQ, I generally use an arbitrary risk of $200. In this case, I may have missed these trades (since one was right at end of day and the other during Asia session), but I would have found entries at 3:55pm and 10:10pm on 31 Oct. I'm improving the way I find higher probability areas of liquidity by looking for 5min order blocks within 1hr supply/demand, based on what I learned in Kyle's 26 Oct recording (link below) - thought I'd share in case helpful to you and/or anyone else in this group. https://www.skool.com/investceo-with-kyle-henris-4723/in-case-you-missed-it

Sounds cool - how does it work?

@Kyle Henris thanks! I'm still interested in learning more - would you mind sending me that video?
