Some people asked for template and indis so here you have. The magenta line I plot on HTFs is duplicated in other charts with the indi superjolt. Place a horizontal line on HTF chart and change name ending with the word "copy"

This is the version I use right now - but I often change the settings in it - so it might change.

It's for mt5 - but does pretty much the same as ghbdr's

Very impressing results ghbdr! Your profits are very consistent. Thank you for your example trades, they help a lot. I have one question: I recognized that very often you really get in at the very top or very bottom of a move, so on m1 chart often before the wick has formed. Is it that you trade the levels which you know already that they will work without waiting of the candle close? Or do you observe the m1 candle while it is forming and decide because of micro moves within that candle?

Thank you! It works like a charm. MT5 with multiple positions is what I was looking for

Below last 3 days results on the demo I am running - the account is way to small for the min lot size and that do cause some big fluctuations - but as the account grows these get smaller. I'm also sure I do pick a lot of trades that Ghbdr most likely would not take, and I am well aware of this and am trying to restrain myself.

Best way its to spot good levels on HTFs (i use M5 a lot for that) and then wait M1 candle close showing the wicks rejection. I like to see some previous rejection on M1 canldes before takin the trade as in the picture

Nice.. The most difficult task is when to fix the rider's . Fixed it with +500pip today. I had +300 pips yesterday, while I was turning my head it closed BE.

For me is a simple managemenet. I dont give a fuck. If they survive the end of day/week I close them at that point
