Higher Edge within a Single Candlestick

I have read everything that I could find that CP posted & the one thing that stood out was a post he made about Standard Deviation or something to the effect. I believe he even said those were his bread & butter trades, or something like that. I tried several times to get CP to elaborate, but he refused.

I would refer traders interested in CP method/methods to seek out the post he made about standard deviations & then take a look at VWap. Not sure if CP was using Vwap, he may have devised his on method using Vwap principals. Price will always come back to balance. Determining that balance is the challenge for the trader.

These are just my views & nothing more & are not to be considered as trading advise. Rest assured Ole CP was on to something in my view.

Best of trades to all.

I'm surprised this thread is still active after so many years, but I suppose it's a testament to CP's valuable insights. While his indicator properly help you to map the market structure, there are still particularities to iron out before being able to fully take advantage from it. What is the best time to trade, and why? Where would you enter and exit, and when would you stay on the sidelines? What information and data are missing here?

{quote} There is not a written in stone answer: it depends upon you and your mind. This is what I would do, maybe it can help you. I would stop at least for a while and understand why it happened: 1- was it my mistake? 2- was it one of those so called black swains? I'm absolutely confident with the effectiveness of my method (I would not trade it with real money if I wouldn't), so most often than not it would be the first one. Second step would be to understand what of my behavior caused me to make that mistake and think how avoid it to happen again...
Hello, I want to ask, is it enough to know market structure to see worst case to be neutral or need something more?
I found market structure, but can't figure out how to be neutral in worst case scenario in it. I can imagine losing account, and market approves it when I get in deep consolidation.
