I have thought about this and I feel there is nothing wrong in giving it a try.

I will stop it if its hampering my personal trading.

Yes , I will share my trade ideas /thoughts here without cluttering other threads.

I mainly use XARD System , Pivots ,Volume Profile , Market Profile & Supply Demand Areas.

There are no fixed/strict rules and people who like strict rules are not welcome to this journal.

Trolls, Jokers and Josi stay away ! I will stop even if I see them in their anonymous forms !

Here is my weekly plan ...for various pairs.

I mainly trade US30 only.

But I have listed other pairs if it benefits anyone who trades them.

I will slowly explain as I go forward.

My Non-XARD TEMPLATE US30 FUTURES CHART

7pm UK Time FOMC OPEN PRICE is my FOMC LEVEL : Price above it is bullish bias and below it bearish bias till the next FOMC Meet.

Very Interesting take and analysis, look forward to more insight on your trading methodology. I am curiuos though about the FOMC open price you have highlighted; how does it influence the direction of price going into the week ahead? l see you have also marked the relevant supply and demand zones, the charts look nice and clean.

Errol,

If you mark out the 12 FOMC levels of last year / last few years and back test it , you will understand.

Bias forms an imp part of my analysis. I size my trades accordingly.

Thanks for the heads- up will give it a try, very interesting take and makes sense since FOMC results in a lot of manipulation and stop hunts.

My Monday Plan For US30 :

In brief i check out Volume Profile (VP) , Market Profile (MP) , Camarilla Pivot and Central Pivot Range (CPR).

So basically we are using Volume , Time , Open , High , Low and Close for Bias and key levels.

I am assuming that Monday price open will be near the Friday Close, Unless there is geopolitical news to change this.

In Summary my analysis based on Friday is telling me that it is bullish bias. ( Unless the Monday Open Changes drastically)

I always keep the levels posted by Vol and Market Profile in mind. They are my TP /SL or get the phuck out areas.

The above post is my daily ritual before starting to trade.

After I have this data /levels I use XARD system for trade execution and management.

It takes about 5 to 10 mins to fill out my excel sheet for 1 instrument.
