I know

For a small range, the Asian High and Low is green, for a medium range, it's yellow, for a large range it's brown,for a full move it'll be red.

So then we base the rules around that, green usually means there will be a breakout from, a tight range......

So why the heck did I go long off the pivot, answer to that in the first post, it's because my rules aren't written down, and taking a break just as I was putting it together, not such a good move, so here we are, let's get some done.

General Rules
Look at what the price action is tellinbg you, small wicks we'll take as more predicable and more likely to trend out, large wicks it's more likely to continue in range.

Yesterday's rule.
Yellow Rules.
It's yellow a medium range you can go off the pivots. for now we'll put it at 50/50 for breakout to the extensions, keep an eye on price action and look for double top or bottom support/resiatance.

Green Rules
Ignore Pivot. (I'll put that on the To do List for the indicator, no point in it being there if we don't use it.
It's going to breakout on way or the other, the only question is which way.....
If there is a breakout and then back into range, it will breakout the other way.
Enter trade at high or low to breakout if the general rules apply.

That is some of what I observed running this for days on end on the Strategy Tester.

Red Rules
It's most likely going to consolidate with the high's and low's of that range becoming tighter.

Brown Rules.
They'll come to me...

Ok, the indicators, here's the code, you can then make your own changes if you like, I can't do programming and trading, too much of a distraction.

I think that's it, BSL.mq4 is the EA to go in experts folder then the other mg4 in indciators then the mqh in includes.

That will give you a full test environment in the ST, you can place trades, move sl, I will do video to show, unless someone else can.....????

The current rule I'm working on is with the news, I believe the major US news announcements have a bearing on the price action, it's something like, it's more likely to range until the time of the announcement.

The other one is, after a News announcement, it often goes in the direction that it's going to go then retraces back and off it goes again, not traded this live, well not correctly anyway, but it's one to observe, see if we can have a trading plan for it, wouldn't that make for an easy life......

All this is with charts going back 3 years on ST, and they are pretty constant, if we can clarify, simplify and learn then I'm pretty sure it will be a strong trading plan we have here.

REMEMBER, it's co-operation not competition that did the heavy lifting to get our civilisation to where it is now.

Some psychology stuff....

Compensating for bias, breakouts are more memorable than ranges.

Accept that 9 times out of 10 the trade you wanted to enter, the price will come back for you, it's just because you've seen the excitement of that fast breakout the goes on and on making loads of pips that makes you try to enter, it'll be most foremost in your mind, that's how the mind works, it will store the most successful thing for you and attempt to repeat, or something like that, have you any idea how much of an achilles heal that is coupled with a touch or two of ADHD, I'm sure if it wasn't for that one thing, I probably would have been quite profitable by now.

As in first post, EURUSD 5M, stick to it, that is my main focus, and anything that is not in my main focus I won't be distracted by, by all means you focus on the 15M if that's what's best for you, but I can't comment.

can you share your template?
Anything above the line is an uptrend, below the line is a downtrend.

Well yes basically, so looking at today's chart in review, how should we have applied our rules.

General Rule First and Foremost.
The price action is spikey, big wicks, that isn't going to go anywhere end of..... but it always could....
That rule overrides the green range rule which expects a reasonable breakout from a small range.

Now this is where skill and psychology comes in, identifying that touchy market as a ranging market, and being pragmatic that you are not going to get that break until some regular pattern of candles turn up at the very least before a breakout is realistic.

NOTE - how much the second breakout low is similar distance to the first high breakout (false breakouts if you like), this happens time and time again.

So... first General Rule - it's 'spikey' price action so ranging, short off Asian High to Low.

Then long off the low, triangle shape for entry, notice how most of the price action is above the Asian Pivot, always look at crossing that.

But first General Rule
No consistent price action, price is bouncing up and down in small range at LO, we can go short at AH.

Going into NY same applies from bottom, go long.

My advice is always just concentrate on one pair, EU, but it will apply to all pairs, if one pair moves they all tend to move, if you're getting more pips then you're probably using a bigger SL, swings and roundabouts, but I always stick to EU.
