This is not my idea, just happened to see it and post to share and ask for opinions on whether is this really profitable?
Description:
This is a 3-bar setup, but only one of the bars determines its direction on the next candle. Where the first two candles will produce the PIP range for a TP Target. This PIP Range can also be used for Stop Loss Levels so this approach becomes a 1:1 reward to risk.
Buy set up:
Bar (2) needs to close higher than the previous candle's high.
Bar (3) during its development, or when the candle has fully developed, price must touch Bar (2)'s open.
IMPORTANT: It MUST be the same bar type, in this case since both Bar 1 and 2 are Bull Bars, the 3rd bar must be a Bull bar on its close.
And this 3rd bar must close higher than Bar (2)'s close (preferably its high).
Enter a Long Trade/Buy on Close of Bar (3).
Calculate from the Low of Bar (1) to Bar (2)'s high.
This will act as your TP and SL Level.
Sell set up:
Bar (2) needs to close lower than the previous candle's low.
Bar (3) during its development, or when the candle has fully developed, price must touch Bar (2)'s open.
IMPORTANT: It MUST be the same bar type, in this case since both Bar 1 and 2 are Bear Bars, the 3rd bar must be a Bear bar on its close.
And this 3rd bar must close lower than Bar (2)'s close (preferably its Low).
Enter a Short Trade/Sell on Close of Bar (3).
Calculate from the High of Bar (1) to Bar (2)'s Low.
This will act as your TP and SL Level.

==========================
I go back in time to find the exact setup and so far, the results are quite good!
