M1 Buy Micro-MAB Winner, +2.01R

This M1 Buy Micro-MAB took about 7 minutes to form but had excellent structure and context.

Price was moving up towards the top of a H4 KeyZone@13240 so this was a good setup that was likely part of price making it’s way up.

The GZ was at the top of the KZ plus when you look-left the Role-Reversal (point B of the earlier M5 Buy MAB) was perfect. I entered using the Trade Tool with the 2R target just above point B, at the top of the next KZ.

This was a fast moving “Must Take” trade…

Missed M5 Buy MAB

I was away from my desk when this M5 Buy MAB took place.

Well spotted Joel!

It was a decent buy setup that would have been a 2R winner!

M1 Buy MAB, Small Winner, +0.17R

Price reached the Daily 13167 level as anticipated and then broke above it.

I took the M1 Buy MAB as shown. It had:

  • Good structure.
  • Good context – Buy setup.
  • The KZs were in play in at points A, B and C.

I trailed my stop once price broke back above 13175 but it failed to hold this level and took me out for a very small winner.

The only thing against the trade is the zone between 13167 (Daily EQZ) – 13176 (H1 EQZ), this is taking time to resolve. When you look left on the M30 and H1 charts you can see this has been an event zone between the bulls and the bears.

09:55 Update: The 2R just came in!

Daily Chart

It’s been bullish overnight with 13167 the next target for the bulls.

Just above this level is the H1 EQZ@13175

  1. Unlucky with the Buy MAB Phill. When this happens to me I usually critise myself for meddling with a trade where leaving the Stop Loss alone would have resulted in a winner, however in the circumstances it did look like price might be turning, that long bear candle down through 13176 would have put me on edge too!

    Did you manually place your stop behind the H1 EQZ/ 13176 level or was it automatically trailing?

    • I manually placed it just below the 13176 level reasoning that if it fails it could continue on down.

      Either way I really liked the trade as explained above, in particular the A-B-C confleunet with the top/bottom of the KZs.
