PA have 3 options for all TF
up
down
side-way
what you need to look for is that side-way move: for example GOLD @ this moment potential side-way move in 1810 - 1798 range
H1 @ indicate losing buy momentum @ 1806 - 1808 support for that is 1802 - 1798
PA should not break 1798 to stay in buy mode as you can see in this chart where PA have a nice support cluster on H1 & H4
what you need to find is how long signal continue and how much pips that TF can move
SL is in same position as mine
EDIT
D1 pattern on GOLD
up to 1791
side-way for 18 days
up to 1861
side-way for 7 days
down to 1791
side-way - current 2 days
up to 1844 (1810 will tell on Wednesday - new month)
Forex can only be understood backwards, but it must be traded forwards.
