<p><span>As displayed above, the price made a valid 1^st push-up on Friday the 18^th. After which, we began to trade for the 2^nd push-up according to our <a href="https://www.daytradingforexlive.com/intro-to-market-manipulation-part-1-the-smart-money-cycle/">smart money cycle rules</a>. The next trading day did not make that 2^nd push-up but it did create a more significant level from which we looked to trade from the follow day.</span></p><p><span>This trade was laid out in our Daily Market Preview.

<p><span>Going into the 22^nd, the price drove into our 1.2723 level during the New York session, creating a stop run and confirmation (candle #1 &amp; #2). </span></p><p><span>The entry was triggered immediately at the close of candle #2 (confirmation candle), as the price was just nine pips from the low of the formation. This trade had 20 pips stop loss, and the ADR was over 75 pips making 20 pips stop loss an acceptable standard for this pair according to our risk management rules.</span></p> </div>

<p><span>The price was hesitant at first, ranging around the entry price. Smart Money still had to build liquidity to drive the price further up.
