{quote} Thanks mate, appreciate the good vibes. I’ve been around the block with what I trade... started off on EU and GU back in the day but just got tired of sitting around all day waiting for something to happen. Switched over to DAX for a while cause I liked how fast it moved... but I remember blowing £80 down to £10 in like a flash, then caught a lucky trade and flipped it back to £80 againThat’s when I realised indices weren’t really for me. That was around 2015 or so. Went back to EU after that but got bored again. Ended up hopping...

{quote} This wasn't a nova entry but I was explaining in some posts before that using the London open range, price will break and retest the high or low for an entry. It was more of an experience trade but I thought to keep it there to help. Of course there's a lot that I do myself that I don't show here in terms of muscle/mental memory trades so I thought to show everyone what I'm thinking when I see these things. Regarding rules, it's not rules per say because I want everyone to use nova for themselves and what works. However, for me... I enter...

{quote} Sorry I may not have explained it properly before The Alert Threshold setting works when you set up momentum crosses in the tradingview alerts. So if there is a certain amount of volume you want to see before being alerted I.e +20 or -20 on the histogram then you would select 20 in nova for alert threshold. You need to setup an alert for both bullish momentum and bearish momentum cross and then use once per bar close. You only need to set the number as 10, 25, 50... Whatever you wish in the nova settings and it will handle the rest when...
Apologies if I didn’t explain this clearly earlier — here’s a better breakdown regarding Alert Threshold settings when using momentum cross alerts in TradingView with the Nova system.
How it works:- The Alert Threshold value comes into play only when setting up Momentum Cross alerts.
- Example: If you want to be alerted when the histogram crosses +20 or -20, you simply input 20 in the Alert Threshold setting in Nova.
- Nova will then wait for:
- +20 volume to trigger a bullish momentum cross alert
- -20 volume to trigger a bearish momentum cross alert
You must create two separate alerts:
- Bullish momentum cross — with “Once per bar close”
- Bearish momentum cross — with “Once per bar close”
The Nova script handles the rest once your threshold is set.
Important:
- The Zero Line Cross alert does not use the Alert Threshold at all — it simply alerts when the histogram crosses the zero line, regardless of volume strength.
Hope this clears things up!
Let me know if any part still seems unclear — happy to clarify further.

This is just an educational post to show where I would mark or be looking for as targets on both sides during todays moves.
You can always target the simple 2R but these areas marked would be where I'd be looking for price to head to for reactions.
So during the small uptrend on M1 it would look like this:
Then when the EMA's flipped bearish I'd be looking at these areas

For the last downtrend on Gold M1 there could have been a monster 17R in 1 single trade.
In reality most would close earlier and so would I but still possible lol... and also profitable even if you keep taking 2R on each!
The first loss wasn't a valid entry because of the ema arrangement, the 100 EMA had not crossed but still marked it as an example.
The final loss was also not a good entry either because the previous push down didnt break the low so you'd have to be cautious in those situations.
Hopefully as I create these posts it just gives you a good idea of what I look out for and thats all without me even mentioning the london open range

Can see how this entry goes now on gold
There were 2 possible entries but kept the 1st one.
