On the above H1 chart, the markers show the highest and lowest H1 opens each hour.

Do you see the HOLO opportunities?

“Now, 2 patterns of market behavior happen on a regular basis:
1) the price breaks to new high's (or low's)
2) the price reverses from new high's (or low's)
They happen regardless of time frame.
They are phenomena that can be exploited without the fear if found out by others, that they might cease to exist.” - H. Rearden

{image} ChatGPT wrote a HOLO indicator showing the progression of the H1 highest and lowest levels for the day. {file}
Tooslow, this HOLO indicator showing the progression of the H1 highest and lowest levels for the day. I added the indicator and I understand it when I open H1 time frame but switching over to smaller time frame like M5, it appears so many times.
Kindly look at it.

Look at the levels on your H1 chart. Then look at the levels on your M5 chart. Are they the same?

short lines in m5 appear as only one dot in the h1 tf (if you look closely/zoom in, you will see the dot at the open of the h1 candle)

Hi everyone, I have spent time coding an MT5 EA (I chose MT5 for various reasons, but the most important one is that it can perform proper backtests and debugging of EAs on historical data).
I had abandoned this EA for a while because it seemed to me that the EA was following the rules, yet it was still not profitable. However, I thought to give it one more chance by running it through this thread and getting it to work through a joint effort.

The compiled version is attached. It does not use any DLLs and can be considered relatively safe (in my opinion). However, I am willing to share the source in a somewhat limited manner. Suggestions, please... I am a strong believer that any publicly shared EA won’t work long-term.

Cheers and happy new year!

Lao Tzu, a Chinese Taoist philosopher, once said, “To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.” By stripping away the non-essential, we can become more in tune with our values and priorities.

The M30 highest open will always be greater than or equal to the H1 highest open.
The M15 highest open will always be greater than or equal to the M30 highest open.

The M30 lowest open will always be less than or equal to the H1 lowest open.
The M15 lowest open will always be less than or equal to the M30 lowest open.

Did you know this already?
If not, why not?

What do these simple facts tell us about price?
What, if any, significance does the distance between these opens have?
How can you use this knowledge in your trading?

1-2-3:

A bar makes a NEW DAILY high and closes. Next bar fails to make a higher high and reverses. Sell when price drops below the open price of the current bar.

A bar makes a NEW DAILY low and closes. Next bar fails to make a lower low and reverses. Buy when price rises above the open price of the current bar.

Let me rephrase in the form of yes/no or true/false questions.

1) Did a new daily high or new daily low happen during the previous bar. If YES/TRUE go to question 2, otherwise find another pair.

2) Did this bar test ( get near ) the new daily high or new daily low of the previous bar. If YES/TRUE go to question 3, otherwise find another pair.

3) Has price returned to the open price of the current bar. If YES/TRUE enter the trade in the direction price is crossing the open, otherwise do not enter the trade.

Sometimes a HOLO is a 123.
Sometimes a 123 is a HOLO.
That is why separate threads.

What is the actual difference? HINT: When can't you trade a HOLO and when can't you trade a 1-2-3?

If I understand what you mean, I used M30 Highest High and M30 Lowest Low to look for setup and this is what I saw but I don't think one can trade it because it is not H1 Highest High and H1 Lowest Low.
I noticed that M30 gave entry point faster than H1.
This is my observation.

Answer the rest of the questions. HINT: Use your eyes!

M30 open above H1 open...
If M30 is above its open, what does that indicate?
If M30 is below its open, what does that indicate?

See, don't think.

Cheers!
