AUDUSD Trade Follow-Up: In Profit Trade ManagementAUD/USDOANDA:AUDUSDCashFalconAction Items - Monitor price action around the current swing level and wait for a clean bullish indication above it - Decide between two take-profit targets (roughly ~3.2:1 at the nearby green swing level vs ~4.52:1 at the higher target) - Keep the alert on the backside of the base candle (drop-base-drop) for a bullish momentum signal - Update viewers when I take profit Context & Disclaimer **This recording is a personal trading journal for self-reflection and review, not trading or investment advice** - This is for accountability and review (and to help friends/family who are learning) Trading Background - I trade trends (uptrends/downtrends) and avoid choppy conditions - AUD often correlates with gold, so gold strength supports my bullish conviction here AUDUSD Trade Follow-Up - Opened: August 10th (trade has been fluctuating but held as long as key levels were not broken) - Current status: In profit and pushing higher — now managing the trade - Stop loss: Moved up behind the current swing level as price has risen - Protection level: Stop is protected by a daily swing level (green level = slightly less confidence than a first-touch black level) Technical Notes - Daily chart shows a drop-base-drop pattern (extra weight from supply/demand background) - Price has printed a higher high (bullish strength) - I’m counting bullishness from bodies pushing above the swing level (not an unfinished candle) - Key risk: If bodies close below the current higher-low swing level, that would signal a bearish shift - Wicks below levels aren’t a break to me — often liquidity sweep behavior - I’m cautious in this area because it was previously marked as potential resistance Trading Methodology (ICC) - Indication: Body breaks above a swing level - Correction: Pullback into the broken swing area - Continuation: Re-entry above the swing; stop behind the swing; target at daily levels - Workflow: Daily levels for roadmap → 4H for swing markup/ICC → 1H for correction detail → 15M for observation only - Swing levels are only marked on 4H and above - Color coding: Blue = longs, Red = shorts, Black = highest-confidence daily swing levels, Green/Gray = secondary levels - I keep a minimum reward-to-risk standard when targeting daily levels
