good day,
please let me know if I am on the right track here,
USD/JPY, new low for the day (red circle) and the next candle has not gone lower, but has tested.
could we possibly look for a long entry?
Thanx.

I was in the GU 3 times over on HOLO, one loss and two for profit, then this 123. Monday kind of trading, smash and grab.
Weird, weird, day...GU went long...AU went short, lol...I think the Greenback was just going along for the ride today.

You've got a lot of ''stuff'' on there that doesn't help in the slightest with running 1-2-3. I'd start by loading up the template (either keep it as TS' or strip it back even more) and then start running your checklist and let us know what conclusion you come to...

1: Did H1 bar make new High / Low?
2: Did next H1 bar test but not make a new High /Low?
3: If answer is ''no'' to #2, then did I enter as price crossed back over the level of the bar #2's Open?

Let us know here and help other newcomers understand your process.

You have GBPYEN still running????

Nope. Lately I have been taking 50% off at +5 then setting the stop to BE. And guess what, I usually get stopped. But not always. I used to leave my stops to original and caught better runs that way. Still in the JY at +5, NZ +5.

Yep, there are probably better methods of trading, or at least other... And some have the coolest indicators that don't work that well. But for bare bones trading many kudos to this...

Completely missed this one from my Wild Bunch - but it shows a perfect example of how the indices tend to top-and-tail the day...

Yeah, think so. Stick it on and see what appears. If it looks like what you're seeing here, then, yep, that's it.
