Long CF +5 locked. Have been in this trade several hour finally panned out. I have been looking at some filter techniques lately and this is an interesting one that could go either way. Often when you get this consecutive new lows or highs it can indicate a continue in the direction of the trend. But as in this it gave the 123 reverse. So nothing revealing yet but I have been watching playing these moves with the trend during the starts near London. This set up showed a slightly different pattern.

The DAX is trying hard - but I am dying of boredom, lol.

I keep taking a couple, closing it down, re-entering, add another couple, yawning a lot. Ho hum...

one filter i like to use with 123 is the need of a breakout through the asian range.

as my trading day starts with the london open and ends with the london close my "asian range" is defined from the start of the day plus 10 hours till the london open. there i like to see first an "asian range breakout" and then start looking for 123 signals.

for EU and EJ i accept a breakout of the range one hour earlier after the frankfurt open.

Makes sense. Conversely, a non-break of the Asian Range would indicate that you could be in good HOLO hunting grounds, with price trapped in a narrow channel.

this UCH long trade for example was a perfect 123 and HOLO trade, both criteria met.

HOLO: the trigger was the m5 bar close below the H1 lower open line followed by a break through H1 lower open line of the day.

123: the trigger was a failed new daily low followed by a break through H1 open line

hope you see the detail in it...

Before anyone asks, yes, I entered short straight away, not waiting for any test of the High. I was looking at Supply on the H4 as well as this H1 here.

I took +5 off that same pair a while back, I have been favoring those longer bars lately, with decent results. 1 pip is much better than a -10 loss, I can atest

That's for sure!
I have to revisit my MM. I'm getting a lot of trades that go +5, I lock +1 in only to get stopped out.
Maybe I'll try your MM approach. Not sure my platform can do partial exits...
