I HAVE READ POST #1 AND THE EXAMPLE LINKS BUT I STILL HAVE A QUESTION

Hi all ,

Thanks for the thread owner for sharing this simple technique , I have a question about taking profit. when you open trade , what is the reasonable TP , do you leave the trade open until you have reversal candle or you have predetermined number of pips for each trade ?

Regards,

There is no reasonable TP. If you are lucky and can move your stop to BE+1, you can see how much the market moves in your direction.

If you look left, you'll see that price was always going to be looking to get back to that spot.

Hello Lawnman,
Did you take your trade at the open of the candle?
Look carefully, the preceding candle made a HH and LH, a clear indication that the direction stays long.
Happy to say that I finally got the hang of this method and the best give-away is checking for HH/LH & LL/HL. It's an instant observation.

Lem, Hercs, thank you. It was an impulsive move on my part, I have no excuses (or reasons).

Hercs, I entered towards the end of the hour, after it had made a new high (Hal Special entry).
Wow! I've got some experience to gain.

You have discovered one of the keys to 1-2-3 in that UC will give great opportunities at this time of day. Very repeatable movement.
