EURUSD is having a setup resumed from Friday,one of the major pairs.I trade Asian session when there is only value.

If the pattern works only in certain markets,just trade it then,so what. SayWhat??????,you are stating points and answering them yourself,didn't realise that?

The system is low DD - read the rules...o boyyyyy the market just opened and here come negativity already .Please try trading it if you spend much time studying the market,as you say then post where its so difficult to make pips,700 trades,a good test......

{quote} The only way for this to work is for the CS2 Bar to Close and then wait for the Pullback. I think, hope this is what KepalaBesi means, it's certainly what I presumed.
Yes, we will wait for a pullback.
Do not repeat my mistake, before this I will do an instant order, right away when the CS2 closed by doing that im exposing myself to greater risk like using a bigger SL, and very bad Risk to Reward.
Especially when you're trading a candle with very big body.

But sometimes we cant avoid from using instant order, for example
If you trade on a smaller timeframe a small move ups or down wouldnt allow you to place a limit order or when you trade using a candle with smaller body, there is a high chance that you will miss the entry because you have no space to place your limit order.

im not really sure about this, this probably just a broker thing.

And another one i hate the most floating! Just hit my SL please

I believe an indicator already exists for this set up.
Check out this thread, there are three similar indicators to what you are attempting to show here. Non-repainting to. https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...humble-request

hi KepalaBesi A few things I would like to point out. This pattern only works on a trending market and breakouts. You will get caught on the fakeouts during an opening or news event. You will get caught in a choppy section. You picked on the trendy currency pairs (like Gold) to set your examples. What about the non-trendy pairs? This entry will result in a large stop-loss assuming it will be placed near the 1st candle's high/low. It means the s/l is a much as your first candle. Any stop-loss hit loss will result in a "deep" cut to your capital....
• This pattern only works on a trending market and breakouts.
• Yes, it works best in trending market

• You will get caught on the fakeouts during an opening or news event.
• i dont know how to answer this right now

• You will get caught in a choppy section.
• This is something that ive been struggling before, and this is one of the few flaws i found in this strategy.
my only advice is to trade either during london or us session, during this session market have the most volatility.

• You picked on the trendy currency pairs (like Gold) to set your examples. What about the non-trendy pairs?
• it works on any currency, i used to trade on all major pairs,
as an intraday trader i do not hold position for more than 8 hours, i will usually close all my position in the midst of US session
most of my trade are actually closed less than 8 hours, either TP or manually Closed
so picked currency that has more volatility, that is why im focusing on this four pair only.
it just my personal preference i just want a quick ins and outs

• This entry will result in a large stop-loss assuming it will be placed near the 1st candle's high/low. It means the s/l is a much as your first candle. Any stop-loss hit loss will result in a "deep" cut to your capital.

• yes this is another flaws of this trading strategy sometimes you get a setup with very minimal stoploss
and most of the time you get a setup with 30~50pips of SL, and on a trending market you get a mother of candles that cost you 100pips.
i suggest to any traders that want to try this strategy, please pick your trades.

there are few entry strategy to minimise the losses, but i just dont like to share it because often time you either missed the trade or get stopped out early,
this is why stick to this marked low high as entry point.

yes this indeed a work in progress, a 2 month old strategy actualy.

haha someone actually saw this, yes this trading strategy is aggressive as fork, pick your trade i cant promise you green pips but at least you can minimise your losses
if you pick your trades

i do not trade using this strategy alone
90% of this strategy as my entry point and signal to either go long or short
5% of Chart patterns to validate my entry, is it going this way or this way?
5% of Support and Resistant, will this zone hold or will it break, i mostly use this when using the type two entry
because it is the riskiest entry, would you catch a falling knives?
another use of S and R, is for the another entry strategy besides type 1 and 2 that i said earlier

sorry if missed a few things i will clear that out once i get a solid answer

such a big coincidence because i just "thought" about the same strategy last week. Entry points and setups are the exact same. The only difference is i wait for candle 3 to enter instead of putting a pending order during candle 2.

I believe you put pending order even when candle 2 has not closed right?

Also how do you put your stoploss? Just at the CS1 high/low?

no i will wait candle 2 to close, but today not a good example of that because i was little late to use pending order and use an instant order instead
you can see my SL there

only took two trade today GOLD and G/J, i leave the other two because of my account could not hold more than 2 position

{quote} Yes you are absolutely right, it is Open and Close of a candle.
No it's not Open and Close either, it is just Open. You're talking about the very old engulfing pattern. Millions of words and thousands of threads have been written about this pattern.

It cannot be used as a strategy on its own, you can use it as a trigger inside a more complex strategy. As a starting point, since it works better in trending periods you have to define the current trend, but also about this topic has already been told everything.

Just one last advice, if you cannot open more than 2 trades it means your lot size is far too high.
