EURUSD · SHORT · 27 Feb 2026

Model 1 + SMT divergence

TP ✓
Context
Price ran above the high of the day into a premium zone. The dollar index printed a new high while the euro did not — SMT divergence confirmed the buy side was weakening.
Trigger
A liquidity sweep above the range and a close back below the Model 1 level; an inverse FVG added extra confluence.
Entry & management
Short after confirmation, stop above the sweep extreme. Executed in MT5 exactly to plan.
Result
Price expanded back through the whole range to the target. Plan followed.

EURUSD · SHORT · 25 Feb 2026

Run into Prev Day High, fixed 1:3

TP ✓

Entry & management
Short at the retest, stop beyond the extreme, target fixed at 1:3. Three hours in the position without a single intervention.

TP 1.17832 hit in 81 minutes. After collecting the liquidity, the market drove through the range without hesitation.

GBPUSD · LONG · 6 Jul 2026

PDL sweep and return to range

+3.0 R
Context
D1 bias long. The Asian and early London sessions pressed price into the previous day's low, where liquidity was resting.
Trigger
A sweep of the PDL and a quick return back inside the range — the sweep candle defined the Model 1 level, confirmed at 10:30.
Entry & management
Limit at the retest of the level, stop beyond the sweep extreme (12 pips), 0.5% risk. 1:3 target, no moving it.
Result
Target reached within the day. +3.0 R, plan followed — the public journal's first record.
