Asia, because it is the setup for the day

Question 2

Vector candles that push price out of the zone mean what in terms of the previous accumulation zone that just got moved away from?

A push to the upside in order to trap more traders

Question 7

The only way price can move lower is what?

The final third of the session, after they have indicated their intention

Question 10

What determines a block?

Answer 11

True

Question 12

The last third of the UK Brinks gives a good opportinty for what?

Answer 12

For a block trade

Question 13

When vector candles are recovered quickly (in the same block), what just happened?

Answer 13

Price got pushed without the longer-term intention to come back any time soon

Question 14

What is achieved by understanding the Asian session?

Answer 14

You understand the behaviour of all subsequent blocks that happen throughout the rest of the day

Question 15

When price is choppy and your scalping, what should be your trigger for exiting the trade?

Answer 15

The cross of the 5 and 13 EMA. If they don’t cross then the trade isn’t broken.

Question 16

When assessing the position with regards to a large vector candle, specifically if you enter at the end of a vector, what are you looking for?

Answer 16

The subsequent candle and whether it recovers more or less than half the vector. If it recovers more then price is reversing (get out) and if not, then price will continue in its current direction (stay in)

Question 17

Why don’t you trade into the peak (or into the formation) ?

Answer 17

Because they are moving price out of a zone, always from the peak
