Sometimes you get a candle's body that is 10 times larger (or even more) than the previous candle's body (like MARUBOZU candles). There is always possibility of going against that signal candle the next day if traders did not maintain the momentum. ...

The engulfing pattern is not a requirement. Body is simply difference between open and close. So the body length of the signal (the 3rd candle) must be greater than the length of each of the previous 2 candle bodies. And for going long, the signal ...

This is the strategy I use the most. Pinbars are candles that have bodies near to top or bottom of the candle where the length of the body is about 1/3 of the total length of the candle. The rate is about 70%. Again, your broker is different from ...

No I have not compiled a result table. I would not call this system my favorite but it is one of the systems I am actively using

Hi ChilliPipper, I do not count economic news as a criteria for this strategy. And the reason why I prefer daily is there is usually less noise and more clarity with the daily than intra-daily charts . It is just a personal preference. According to ...

What part of the rules you did not understand so I may clarify it?
- ashraf999 replied Jul 30, 2010
Thanks for your comments. I used to look for any indicator there is before I realized that price action is what I should have concentrated on. I have a journal called "Daily Charts" that posts actual live trades. However, it is not pertinent to one ...

Your broker is different from mine. So if the pairs you listed above conform to this strategy, then they are valid. The only way to know whether they are valid or not is to post them

My rules for this strategy do not include that body should be 1/3 of the candle. As long as the difference between open and close is not 0, then it is a body

From what I have read, it is a lot different from my strategy

Can you post the link?
