The 2nd mechanic

Trade mechanically, 0 bias

Rules:

1. wait for a 1h pivot to form in trend direction
2. orange/blue candles = prepare to sell or buy
3. green candle = enter on the next open
4. SL - pick one of the previous 2 lows (at most 2 - 2.5x ATR)
5. I don't have an exit rule yet
6. don't enter if the entry is far from pivot (like 3x ATR)
7. if the signal candle is red, add a buy-stop above it's high

1W 0L

1. valid entry, but don't think I would've taken it

5-1 FTSE

1. consolidation broken by big red candle
2. break of support line
3. losses happen

Zoomed out view
- price at yesterday's unbroken low and last thursday's high, basically short position at a support area :|

US100

1. same as uk100, short into support
2. non-tradeable day maybe

USDCAD - mixed feelings

1. look left - mark support/resistance areas from yesterday
2. respect the pivots

DAX, 5-2

1. live demo trade

EURJPY - I should've tried again
