it could of dropped.
i said earlier the 04-00 4 hour bar nearly broke the 00-00 4 hour bar.(.8 away) as in point 8 away.
i only enter trades on the actual break, the same with inside bars.
Trade well.

yes , i saw it, but i tend to stop trading if i have more than +20 pips/day. as you say, a new trade could always go against you and is new risk.

'Tis a sorry tale I relate. Not for the first time I have needlessly blown a hole in my trading account that will require several days of careful trading to nurse it back to some semblance of health. The day began well: I sat watching the Dax on the one minute chart; price moves past a level and I am in and my stop is the other side of a channel and I note where I got in ( I wont go into how I trade since each person trades differently here) which governs where I get out if proved wrong. Well, as the morning progressed towards 10am I had entered a couple of successful trades. Pat myself on the back for excercising patience in trade selection. Shopping with Mrs T and a tour of a DIY store as she collects paint and tile catalogues - hmm.
The afternoon Nasdaq -made a couple of good trades. But for some odd reason I thought that because the tv programmes were dire I would trade on my laptop as a diversion. 7pm onwards I was in and out of trades, on the one minute chart, like a maniacal ping pong ball in one of those old time gaming machines. Sins - let me see; Trying to anticipate the next price bar direction, one bar after another; doubling up in the wrong direction, ignoring my trading method/stops/discipline and all this resulting in far too many trades.
I was horrified when I looked at the chart - one entry arrow after the other !!
So, bollocks, I will have to eat humble pie and follow the instructions on the tin. To that end I have written a bullet list of things to consider
( tis only a short list but) before entering a trade and "Bold" line entry to stay in a trade until the stop is hit.
Hah ! I feel better now.

So sorry to hear of your woe Mr T.
It happens, Hands up time, i have done it myself many times.(ok a long time ago).

You'll be ok, lesson learned.

I have already put my 2 black 70 range vertical lines on the Highest High- Lowest Low.

I am currently short but maybe not for lonf.
The 00-00 4 hour bar low broke, i went short and it has made 5 but my position didn't close, lol
It might be a message from above . Lets see.

That would be useful as some may be confusing an MT4 4 hour bar?

t 08-11 Cable 4 hour chart just copied. i will start now with examples.
First Thing, when you see the gurus on FF or/and guys trying to sell stuff, they normally show examples from ages ago.
I am doing this right now, an NO, i am not showing my method, it can be developed easily.

1= 00-00 4 hour bar/candle. 00-00 midnight to 04-00 am UK time.
2 = 04-4 hour bar closing at 08-00 am uk market open.
3- 08-88 to 12-00 noon 4 hour bar and still forming.

If we had traded the break of No 1 bar 00-00 to 04-00 which i have.
Low broke and i am short. the bar is 13 points/pips range.
If it should retrace back up we go long at the High (you dont have to).
So we go long, we have now lost 13 points. but we have a potential 54 points to gain if the daily range is 70.

lets see how it goes.

this 00-00 4 hour bar range is very low. 13.
the 04-00 4 hour bar is 18.

13 range is rather low, so i may adjust it. ie ill manually say it is 20 for examople.
Movement so far is very slow.
