It had to go Lem. Was expecting up but ...... lol a break is a break. {image}
When trading the "break" of a "trend" do you wait for a H1 candle to "close" over the TL before you enter? Just like you do with the DPV?

Not trading break of trend trading break of a range. Once an asset has been in consolidation for some time it has to break one way or another. Sure you get false beaks.

The t/l is not that important I'm more interested in price and any news that might affect it.

Billy uses 4h bar.

Be careful it's likely due to broker server times your 4h bar will be different. Use the last 4 1h bars.

4 hour bar... a lot of info says Asian session is dead, which it is BUT to me very important, just check it out looking for Daily High/Low
SEE LINE,TRADE LINE..PRICE HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE,,, PRICE WILL GO SOMEWHERE.

thanks Billy, Just to be clear so I'm not using the wrong bar......the H4 bar starts at 00-00 and ends at 04-00? You would then start trading at 04-00?

Oh Ok Claudia, I was under the assumption that you traded the T/L. I too like trading the CZ's more. Thanks for your help, as always!!

Worth mentioning that if the Asian range is high (say 50+) then keep away ?

When trading the Close over on the DPV line, is it worse when the H1 candle that closes over closes over by A LOT of pips. Is it better when the H1 candle closes over by only a couple of pips?

You tell me. Go do some visual back testing see what you come up with.

{quote} Hi, in its simplest form yes. i am also looking at the 00-00 4 hour bar too. The counter will hold the original loss and i will then look at the 00-00 bar or even the 04-00 at times. The trade is like a machine

I will! I actually have already to some point...lol That is why I asked that question. It seems like if the candle moves tooooo far past the DPV line, it gives less room for it to continue on.....that is unless there is some news to support the continuation. Thanks Claudia!

You got the right idea. What you got to do is try and figure it out yourself then you gain confidence - I'll always answer questions as will Billy and Lem.

Good luck !

Hey, does anyone have any info on when to sort of stop trading until the new year? the market is getting worse and worse imo by the day
I would normally drop off in the week before Christmas and back in the week after NY. May run it different this year as I'm trading The DAX - and may just play that one trade set-up.

All fed-and-watered. Happy camper now after a loooooong day.

Just had a look at how The Monster did today. As has been the case lately, the v1 would not have panned out, as price gapped quite substantially.

V2, however, would have worked out very nicely. Bias was long and so the entry would have been WZ Long into the body.

DAX 06:00 - 08:00
