Third candle bounce

{quote} I don't claim to invent anything. Just pointing out a simple pattern. Third candle bounce happens. Sometimes it doesn't. The pattern is not a system. The system is creating rules about when pattern should work. That's why I go into refinement in LTF. Also since the pattern is fractal, it makes sense to create a dashboard that shows it on multiple timeframes to increase confidence and to catch it on multiple instruments.

hi @d5400

Good trading method and is profitable with proven money management strategy for entries and exits. This is one of my trade setup entries which I traded since 2018.

If you are looking MTF Fractals you can consider @FerruFX' Fractals until you develop your own dashboard.

Thank you sir, for visiting my thread. Your influence is on many of my favorite traders. I respect FerruFX very much and would seek his help with my dashboard when I figure out the specs for it.

d5400, thank you for sharing this method.

Please find attached a simple indicator to markup the candles.
-The diamond means the 2nd candle is a HH or LL.

  1. The second candle is to be the same direction as first in this version of indicator (can be changed later).
  2. This occurs in realtime as current candle fulfils the rule.
  3. Then we wait for the rule below to be fulfilled.

-The arrow means candle 3 low of high is lower / higher than the candle 1.
-Obivously there will be situations where 2nd candle is a HH or LL but the 3rd candles does not meet the rules. So need to wait for the arrow to appear.

I have not incorporated the 3rd candle being a HH or LL yet; await feedback.
Looks like some filters are needed.

This is a starting point and the indicator can be developed further.

regard, R.

Thank you, developing specs continues. Here's the chart where I marked third candles. Crosses mark candles that are not considered because they open on the other side of the 1st candle wick and never reach it. I also marked inside bars. An inside bar marks the mother bar before it, and any bar after that is considered inside bar until it breaks mother bar. Checks mark the candles that follow outside bars and reach the 1st candle wick from the right direction.

Safe entries are from the 1st candle wick. For long, third candle needs to enter 1st candle upper wick from above, and for short, enter lower wick from below.

1) Second candle needs to break previous candle, or mother bar. If this is an outside bar, then it broke both directions, but further rules may filter one direction out.
2) Safe setup: Third candle opens above or inside upper wick of 1st candle to long setup. Third candle opens below or inside lower wick of 1st candle for short setup.
3) Aggressive setup: Third candle reaches upper wick for long setup, reaches lower wick for short setup.

Clearly by working on lower TFs it is possible to find better income.

Be patient please. What means H&S ?

Quasimodo is a very convenient setup for refinement. Recently a bunch of setups breaking daily highs/lows on M15 were quasis.

Thank you for the explaination. Is it correct that the thrid candle open must be above / below 2nd candle close?

Hi, I am practicing. I have highlighted what I think are 3rd candles that meet the criteria. Criticism welcome.

Where did you get that indicator with the large candles?

This is very simple
This is not simple. There is another word starting with "s" character.
Let me ask you a question. What candles are? Candles came from Japan. There was a market of rice. Why it worked? Because the volume of the rice was about the equal each year. And what candles now? One candle has 1$ inside, next 1m$. So what you are trying to compare and what magic must happen to let it work for you?
You can create simple script that will check your magical setups and then you will see that it has max 47% winrate and never more.
Why 47%? Because all you need is 51% to be profitable, but that 4% are fees, spread, slippage, red news, weekends, fat finger issues, greed, fear and all the other stuff that works against you and for the broker. Casino never lose.

If 1st candle wick is non-existent, then it's body has to be considered. 1st. and 2nd. don't have to be bullish together, but 2nd candle has to be bullish to create a bullish setup, as long as 3rd candle opens above 1st candle close.

Sorry, "as long as 3rd candle opens above 1st candle close"... Do you mean 1st candle's close or 1st candle's HIGH (for bullish)?

Above high is too strict of a requirement. Can miss a lot of setups. But it does seem like a safer bet.

I tried on demo the system and what happens in that frequently the third candle already lose his force and the price comes back closing in loss, or at the contrary the trend is so strong that doesn't pick the high of the first candle and goes on without to open trades. Il you close in the day, you can make only very few pips because the force is already going in exhaustion. It depends by lucky. Or you do work also in minor timeframes to take advantage of configurations to anticipate the entries, as you have already shown, or the results will be weak.
