The way I trade gaps is by the book. They act as support and resistance, and once price gets there, I expect a rejection,a nd I confirm it with PA. They tend to be filled, and although GC gap got filled, there was no rejection. I took another one, ...

Hi again, Strat! Thanks for taking time to answer and clear my confusion! Your reply definitely helped, and i am most certain not only me, but others as well. The link to that document is here. And you mention many times terms like 'break', ...

Hi, Huatzhi! Thanks for your comment! Yes, that is correct, the candle can go higher than the previous one, spot on! I actually wanted to state this when I was describing my candles, especially the long legged doji and the dragon fly doji, I wanted ...

Hi, Strat! I first was under the impression that, according to your teachings, we need a close in order to validate a swing. Then after that quarrel with BTS, I saw on the path that you talked about the candle having to take out the low or high. Now ...

Hi, Strat! Thank you for the explanations and for the warning! In my defense, I wish to state that I posted about that type of formation because when I first interacted with it and learned about it, it was and still is presented as price action. And ...

It is nice seeing you here, old friend. Thank you for the reply and for the valuable explanations, Strat! Although I do not agree with your opinion about that thread, I completely accept it and respect it. I know that when I am dealing with a ...

Hi, Rub! Yes, he is a trader that I follow with great interest. I agree with you, a new high/low (and candle close) defines a trending market. And he enters when that high/low is above/under the resistance/support.

Thanks for the reply, Strat! About thread hoping, actually I am hopping from there to here, not the other way around. But that thread has been my home for many years, and I simly cannot forget that, and neither the traders who helped me there. About ...

Hi, Strat! I had a few entries on some GBP pairs. I think the second entry on GU was not so good, because I bought high (based on the fact that it broke the last high), instead of waiting for a retracement, in order to buy low. Fear of missing out ...

First of all, you should not have gotten so aggressive, because that thread is certainly not the Realm of Hell, and posting there does not make one worse than the Devil. I think you missed the point of that post, which is exactly what is happening ...

Hi, BeyondTheSea! I may be wrong, but from what I understood, we validate a swing based on a close of the candle, not by having the low/high taken out. There were no closings above/below the high/low of the lowest/highest candle. If I am wrong, I ...

Hi, Iddd! Doesn't it look like it is unable to make HHs to you? Watch the blue horizontal lines. No? Then switch to line chart. Now you know it is in a range. And when you entered, you were at the midway between previous high and low, thus giving ...

MN BEEB and space to fall, W1 BEOB. Your emas look as they should, too. That pin from the week 13-17.08 would have kept me out, but that is not part of my question. I was not referring to Big E's rule of entering on the first or second candle, I was ...

Hi, Emm! The cross occurred earlier. Why the late entry?

Hi, Emm! I have to admit I am intrigued by your post. Isn't that selling into strong W1 support? Wouldn't it be safer to wait for the level to be broken, then a retest, and then a PA signal, making it PASR?

Hi, Emm! On my broker, it is just the other way around. That is why I said it was not a WRB: W1 24 is 256 pips and W1 26 is 254. It depends how it closes. If it does not break and close the low of the W1, then it will be a Strat's WCC. The way I see ...

Hi, Emm! At this very moment, I see that as consolidation, based on the IB on D1 and MC on H4. By the way, the W1 candle is not a WRB per your your rules, as it is not the biggest in the last 3-4 candles (if I remember correctly). it is actually a ...

It is the Strat shadow, but with different colors. Watch out, because Stat doesn't like when someone is looking for shortcuts. If you catch him in a good mood today, you may be lucky and not get banned. He expects people to read the whole thread ...

Still trying to understand Strat's M5 strategy. Small gains this morning on EA, EU and EC. only 62 pips. And a lost one, GJ, 43 pips.

Hi, everyone! Still trying to understand Strat's M5 trading strategy. Entry when the most recent support got broken, and adding-on on retracement.
