Without trying to offend, what a BULL-shit I can come up with thousands of such patterns. Test it for future trades instead of back testing. Anyways, thanks for sharing

No offense, it's just an observation that I wanted to share. You can consider it good or bad, it does not change my life.

Without trying to offend you, but I bet my balls that you would never turn to a stranger like that in real life, otherwise you know how many slaps you would have taken so far Let's moderate terms

There's a number of things wrong here. First of all, what are you offering to those who take you up on your challenge and prove it doesn't work?

Now for the errors or unclear aspects of your strategy explanation.

1) Your opening graphic shows a line and "PO here" text with no explanation as to what "PO here" means. Further, the line marking "PO here" just doesn't follow the rules of your strategy from what I can tell.

2) Sunday days. Your charts include lots of small bars every 5 days which indicates your showing Sunday days. This can screw things up if your basing breakouts from a few hours of price action on a Sunday. Anyone doing daily chart analysis needs to ignore Sunday days and/or better yet get with a charting program and broker/server which shows days based on NY close (GMT +2/3) and therefore doesn't show small Sunday days on daily charts.

3) "Sell limit below" In one image you described a "sell limit order below..." when I believe what you mean to say is to set a "sell stop" order. Big difference.

I'm sure there's more, but, that's some of the erroneous details I've spotted so far.

Note: I think it's awesome people share their excitement about their strategy ideas here. But, as the saying goes, "the devil's in the details." And, as the trading market knows "those who don't nail the details go to hell."

Thank's for the correction. Sometimes I get confused between sell stop and sell limit, i'm not very good in english. PO is pending order.

Regard the rest, just observations. I'd like to see other backtests on other pairs, that's it. If it is "Bullshit" we'll ignore it and we will move on

Regard the "offer" i'm not offering nothing. If you lose you got something that could work. If you win it's still a good thing

So, NZDUSD would be a possible candidate... buy stop placed above 2nd candle from the right...

How do you define a fake breakout?

On the first picture there is no fake breakout. The price actually did break out to the down side.

That's the problem with this thread and the described "strategy." While well-intended I think there's some confusion on the part of the author of this thread. Accordingly, take it all with a grain of salt.

I can only guess at it but I think he meant rejection to the downside not fakebreakout.

But its just a guess.

So can we first get a indicator developed to identify this pattern/formation, cuz as of right now all I see is a rejection on some MA (not sure what period) and the pattern hasnt really been described. Or am I missing something?

Thanks for sharing to the OP.

You could also try:

1. bearish candle.
2. next, bullish candle that closes above the open of previous.
3. next, within the next few (1 to 5) candles, look for a candle that closes below the open of bullish candle in step 2.
4. then finally, enter sell and target the low of the bullish candle in step 2.

As another user mentioned earlier, you could come up with many other patterns by looking at the charts. I noticed this one a few minutes ago while I was trying to figure out the OPs description.
