So the current bar on which I took the trade it had to close below the previous bar open price, then on the new candle take the trade ? Because third rule says when it crosses then take the trade, or I dont understand something

{quote} You mean close below the open in the m5 time frame ? Or close below the previous H1 candle ? If yes then I understood the rules incorrectly
when you take the trade when just crosses you just put stoploss cause its an early entry or wait for the close below the open price
but wait for the LH-HH-LH to be formed to enter with good ratio to TP.

For GU pair the pattern is invalid till now cause the new high formed.

for the close point i guess the 1hour is more powerful
As i understood,, (TooSlow correct me if im wrong)

Eh?!

1-2-3

H1 time-frame.

1: Bar #1 makes new high or low...
2: Bar #2 fails to make new high or low...
3: Enter as price crosses back over level of Bar #2's Open.

That's it. Simple. Nothing more, nothing less.

Anything added comes with experience and is on the trade-management side of things, not the entry rules.

What all this other stuff that you guys are doing, I have no clue.

When price is above an open, it is up. Conversely, when price is below an open, it is down. It is a good idea not to short when price is up and not to buy when price is down. Naturally, most traders look for reversals but are impatient and trigger happy thus buying when they should be selling and vice-versa.

That's London open btw - the arrow.
Am I onto something ?
Maybe you'll know what I'm talking about, maybe you won't
Either way for me its worth exploring
I see potential here

And I appreciate your journal !
Thank you for bringing something "useful" up.

Ha ha ha. Whatever.

The rules were stated as plain facts. For some reason you took offence. Those who know me know that I will help above and beyond the line of duty. If you cannot understand the simplicity of those stated 1-2-3 facts, then I am sorry but it really cannot be made much simpler.

You're lucky I answered and not Too Slow, for he will not brook such rudeness.

Also, for that other question that keeps being asked about entry. You enter when price crosses the entry LEVEL. You do not need the #2 candle to close.

Take a Chill-Pill and have a good Sunday, lol.

Moly must have got out the wrong side of the bed if he sees rudeness in your reply or maybe he is not English speaking and fails to appreciate the various nuances of the language.
The rules are simple and are posted in the first page and repeated ad nauseam throughout the thread.
Never mind Lem - some people just don't know when they are being helped.

1) Did price make a new daily high/daily low last bar?

2) Did price fail to make a new daily high/daily low this bar?

3) Did I answer YES to Q1 and Q2? IF YES THEN ENTER AT H1 OPEN PRICE IN DIRECTION OPPOSITE OF NEW DAILY HIGH/DAILY LOW ELSE WAIT.


=================================================================================================


A bar makes a high and closes. Next bar fails to make a higher high and reverses. Sell when price drops below the open price of the current bar.

A bar makes a low and closes. Next bar fails to make a lower low and reverses. Buy when price rises above the open price of the current bar.

I have another question. Does the new bar after daily low or high I mean, must test that level(I mean almost touch), or just fail to make a new dl dh, no matter how close it was to it?

Go to Post 1. It is all there, if you keen and dedicated to make a go of this approach then make the effort to read from there.
The rules are not set in concrete -you have to make this approach your own, as Hal and others have, and exorcise some discretion on interpretation.
Read the whole thread and immerse yourself in it. The basic rules are above - experiment and make it your own.
