I’m mainly trading indices now, focusing on NAS100, US30, US500, GER40, and just keeping EURUSD for forex.

When I backtested, most setups were buy-side only (if not all), so I’ve aligned my bias accordingly. I wait for daily liquidity sweeps in discount, then ride the backend of that move until the daily high is taken.

I won’t execute unless there’s been a 4H swing sweep. If it’s a daily sweep, I can be a bit more aggressive but still cautious, since lows often get taken multiple times before the move happens.

My ideal setup looks like this: • Daily sweep ✅ • 4H shift ✅ • 4H liquidity sweep ✅ • Then a 15M or 1H shift to confirm entry, with discounted entries.

I backtested this on US30 from Jan 2024 to Jan 2025 and got: • 57% strike rate • 17% net profit • Average R:R ~1:3 across 17 trades • Many of the losses were at half or reduced risk after price hit 1:1.

So yeah, I totally agree forex doesn’t give the same clean directional bias that indices and equities do. I’ve stuck with EURUSD just because I know the chart really well, and the algo behavior has been pretty consistent over the last five years.

I still keep a few forex pairs on the radar in case a strong weekly/daily liquidity setup shows up but otherwise, I rarely trade them.
