This video breaks down a EUR/USD short from May 2nd.
The day prior we had a very aggressive reaction to the false break higher that occurred during FOMC. This type of aggressive reversal and subsequent follow through tends to have follow through the following day.
The following day we had a stop run of the Asian highs during the European session.
While this would not satisfy the criteria for a stop run reversal, it does give us insight into institutional trading activity, and more importantly it offers a very high reward to risk based entry which is critical to successful trading in my opinion.
Check out the video for a complete breakdown of the live trade setup, as well as exit.

Sterling,
It would be great for you to do a video on trading psychology. I know you have one in the “add on videos” of the course and you have also written articles about that subject in the past. But it would be great to hear your thoughts about that subject again. Its certainly an issue I’ve had to deal with and is ongoing. Any more information and tips on how to maintain a healthy trading mindset would be most appreciated. Maybe you can offer some different or fresh perspectives. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment and I’ll put psychology on the list!
Awesome! Like you always stress…..it’s probably one of the bigger keys to success.
Hi Sterling, the setup you’ve mentioned earlier in this video.. dealing with prior day’s low as the first point of failure that can be used as focal point of retracement,can’t a chart tool simply identify it as the 4th wave of an Elliott wave pattern,thus making it easier to enter a market order?
In short, no. Elliot wave has nothing to do with the setups I take as Elliot Wave only works in hindsight.
How does this work on a 5 min chart, how can you tell those moves.
I just did a nice video yesterday that further clarifies your question.
