Order Flow Crude Reversal/Breakout Using Momentum

I had two customers in the past few days ask me related questions. Although they are different questions, the answer is similar, I decided to highlight this with the Order Flow Crude Oil trades in the video below.

One trader was asking about reversal trades and the fact that I don't like them. That I feel trading support and resistance is fundamentally wrong because to get to support, the market has to be moving down. That leaves you always trading against the market.

I was discussing trading AFTER a reversal and the trader asked "isn't that chasing the market?". To better explain, I thought it was easier to show it than try to explain in words. So the first video is a trade AFTER a market appears to have reversed but it's still not chasing the market.

The other trader has been struggling with some of the drills, so I wanted to show momentum as a means of entry confirmation. Both trades here show using momentum to enter, one of them on a breakout. one on a reversal. One long, one short - at the same price area but different times of the day.
