{quote} Look at the circles you drew. Was there an entry that followed the rules? Socratic method is named after the classical Greek philosopher Socrates. It is a form of inquiry and discussion between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to illuminate ideas.
I *think* so, but I am very happy indeed to be corrected. I see the first green candle in the circle going above the Highest H1 open, the next green candle opens in the AOI and the wick dips below the highest open which suggests a short would be triggered. Or am I about to have a eureka moment ?

Yes, by not trading at all.

Or by scratching the trade.

This is trading.
Sometimes, you win.
Sometimes, you lose.
This is trading.

Hi.
If I may TS....
As you can see on my chart, prior to the new hour opening, the area of interest was between the Highest H1 Open and the Daily High AT THAT TIME.

Once the new candle opened, it printed a New Highest H1 Open price. (A)
Then went on to BREAK the previous Daily High......which is a "Breakout". (B)
Once that breakout occurs then there will be NO valid setup for the rest of the hour, as a new Area of Interest is yet to be determined and therefore you will not be able to validate an entry without knowing that.

I hope that helps.
Cheers

Hello, here might be the missunderstanding that part of traders think that breakout candle is only candle A at 5 min timeframe and because candle B did not break previous candle high and did not make new daily high trader can enter trade. For me this was not trade because of trending price

Totally agree mate They appear to be concentrating on the M5 time frame for "everything" rather than referencing the H1 which as you know is King with this strategy.
Happy trading

The candles print more quickly and provide more “action” on the 5

Hi TooSlow,

Thanks for that.

Just another question though, when placing your stop loss, do you put it to the low/high of the session (London session for me) or do you set it to the low/high of the current day which for example could be a couple of hours before (which would be during the Asian session)?

Thanks again

PRICE IS EXACTLY THE SAME ON ALL CHARTS.

What chart period you use doesn't affect the market, it affects only your interpretation of the market. Ditto for most indicators.

Cheers!

“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


Price Action #advancedalientrading

1) Price will either breakout of the high, low or both of the previous bar
2) Price will not breakout of the previous bar.
3) Price will either close above a level (line) or not.

Contrary to what most others say, place your stop where your risk management strategy tells you to put it.

Of course, you can change your lot size, if you place your stop where the method tells you to place it.

You must control your risk per trade.
