You'd have to think that there could be a Long opportunity here later. Onto the Watch-List...

Who is taking the 10 trade challenge the week of AUGUST 19, 2018?

During the challenge, you are only to trade the same pair.

Beginners do not get to trade multiple pairs until they have mastered trading one single pair.

GREEN PIPS TO ALL.
Cheers!

At what times would you guys break the rules? I am sticking to the rules for now but it happens many times that the setup is there but I have a H1 high or low breakout or even H1 higher price then yesterday.
Anything above the line is an uptrend, below the line is a downtrend.

I won't break the rules re a breakout candle. That's solid and I simply shift to 1-2-3.

I will. however, freely ignore where price is compared to yesterday's extremes. I will take other information into account when trying to see if I am facing any kind of runaway train.

And I thought that alert for the price higher then yesterday is "worse" than H1 breakout since it had EXTREME CAUTION

It is there because it will keep traders out of the way of runaway trains. Traders likely to be caught on the tracks are more likely to be new to the game. Experienced traders can read the signs pretty easily.

So for newcomers, then yes, that should be Extreme Caution, for experienced, if you get run over there then there's no excuse, you should have been looking where you were going!

clearly as a HOLO trade only, because the hourly bar didnt take out the daily high of 141.40
but its a good one, congrat
trading is like dancing, don't think and just listen to the music!

Hi Birdland
Thank you for your reply
I thought the hourly bar only had to test the high ?

As Birdland says, HOLO only.

High of the day came on the 06:00 UK time bar, so there is no 1-2-3 at this new bar.

Bar #1 is the 06:00 uk bar. That is the High of the day so far. Bar #2 is the 1-2-3 entry, short at the yellow arrow.

There will be no new short 1-2-3 until that high is taken out by a newer one.

I think the confusion may come from a bad read on one of the rules. You seem to be counting any bar that tests the High / Low as a potential 1-2-3 entry bar. This isn't the case. It is only the bar immediately after the one that sets the new High / Low.

Yes?

Any other bar after the Bar #2 Trigger-Bar would take you into HOLO territory.

Often it's just one small thing that needs to fall into place for the light-bulb moment to kick in.
