Is this not the same move you got caught on earlier? Price is always going to want to move back to this area (look left). You got Zeroed-Out.

This was definitely FOMO, which are eating into my account more than basic losses. I'll get a handle on it. Just working on not being frustrated and negative, which, unfortunately are my default positions.

Wait 'til you see what I did right after that. (screenshot later)

On H1 chart. BAR chart, to show difference from HOLO.

For Sells.

1: Did bar 1 make a new high?
2: If so, wait for next bar #2. Did this bar test but not make a new high?
3: If so, enter short as price drops back down through the open level of bar 2.

Flip for Longs.

This is nothing to do with 1, 2 and 3 candles. It is 1-2-3 moves. Or even think of it as 1-2-3 questions.

You are trading lines. Bars make it about as simple as simple can be to see those levels. Left tag, High, Low, Right tag.

This is the mail confusion. What does it mean to "test"? If price moved only 2 (3..4) pips towards high and then dropped current H1 open. Does it mean test?
If current price breaks previous H1 high by only 2(3..4) pips and then drops to open? Does it meat test?

Yes, this has always been an issue. However, at its heart, it means ''did it make a new high?'' If it didn't - or doesn't look like it will, then you have a live go.

Pick a pair, learn it inside and out, up and down...how does it behave? Does it feature repeatable moves?

Use price action (perhaps on a lower timeframe) to see what is happening.

There is a certain amount of ''feel'' involved but yes, once you get a handle on it, you will not regret the time spent in studying and doing your leg work.

Getting that feel -usually by observation - is important. I have often watched Dow Index fly open on big candles then offer opportunities, to the quick fingered, to secure some points on the rebound of these big candles. Apologies for being off topic from 123.
