getting back to retrace trades.
Chart below, cable 15 minute bar.
00-00 range is 28.
Low broke at 1. then retraced back up.
Anywhere in that 2 area we can short. if we did we would of gained some points.
Remember , this can fail. Like yesterday ,the High broke then just dropped with no turning back.

i took me now 10 years to find out a simple way of place a buy/sell stop order with mt4;-) just right click on mouse, then go to "trade" and you will have different order options like buy/sell stop. anyway, normally i order "at market" but since i trade the BB i need the stop orders.
If you hedge on MT4 your broker may also allow the Close By order. When you close one against another you will only pay 1x commission. Every penny counts especially with Brokers..

Info below might be useful:

Close by Opposite Positions
Opposite position towards the given one is a reverse position for the same symbol. If there is one or more opposite positions among the open positions, one can close the selected position by and together with an opposite one. To do so, one has first to open the "Order" window (as described above).

https://www.metatrader4.com/i/help/t..._close_met.png

Then, the "Close by" must be selected in the "Type" field. After that, the list of all opposite positions will appear in the lower part of the window. One has to select an opposite position in this list, and after that the "Close... " button will be activated. It allows to close two positions at the same time. Only one of two opposite positions with different amounts of lots to be traded will remain. The volume (amount of lots) of this position will equal to the difference between lots of the two closed positions, and its direction and open price (short or long) will correspond with those of the larger (in volume) of two closed positions.
Multiple Close by Opposite Positions
Multiple close of several opposite positions allows to close more than two opposite positions at the same time. To perform this operation, one has also to open the "Order" window (as described above). Then the "Multiple close by" must be selected in the "Type" window. At that, the list of all opposite positions will appear in the lower part of the window, and the "Multiple close by... " button will be active. It allows to close opposite positions. Positions will be closed in pairs, according to the open time, and they will be closed as described above for two opposite positions. If the difference between the sums of volumes is not zero, a new position will be opened as a result of the operation, the volume being equal to this difference. The newly opened position will participate in the multiple close process, but according to its open time, and so on until all positions are closed or the last resulting position is opened.

Attention: After opposite positions have been closed, the corresponding records will be made in the "Terminal – Account History" window. At that, overhead information about closing of opposite positions will be entered in the "Comment" field.

Great info Billy thanks. Whilst this method can fail like yesterday, you would still potentially lose less if you entered on a retrace instead of straight break.

Over the years , i have said this often.
A retrace trade is a standard method used for years and years, it wasnt invented by me.

Yesterday was a good example of a fail once in retrace. It doesn't always work. but the following short trades were good.
Actually the high was triggered and price immediately fell, this was a catch by brokers.
i didn't long that as i had a feeling, lol.
Had i, i would of fixed it with thye shorts.

Messy price action on GU. Range still only 38 for the day. Will we get another 10+ today or will it remain like this?

I have orders either side like Claudia. Targets being daily pivot to the upside and DS2 if it breaks low.

EU has had a much better day so far.

Not a million miles away from the weekly high. Wonder if that will get tested, or even 1.3850.

Hi TS, when i chase part of the daily range, i used to say i get a modest amount.
I now say 70 points. and 70 seems good.
Hope you are well.
