I guess, the bulls are playing with the bears. A typical BULL play in a strong uptrend, buy the low. The bulls are eyeing the last two daily lows, IMO.

{quote} Check now, if it is working. I did not do the testing though. It needs to be placed in the indicator folder, also it only shows the EG. It's too complicated for me to include EF. I gave up coding a long time ago, still gave it a go. {file}
are you able to provide alert for the dashboard?

I will give it a go, over the weekend. Can't promise though, a few things have already been lined up for the weekend.

gold exit all but one due to upcoming news.
managed to average out the floating losses.
all due to groupings and spacing them out.

on floating loss.
if you are panicky, increase in heart rate, perspiring, then obviously your lot size is not right.
one would not feel uneasy observing when to put in the next group of trades.

on taking profit.
i find that it is difficult to hold gold profit for more than 100 pips.
it can easily come back to bite you.

{image} i got hit badly on friday. i was overconfident at the blue zone and put in big lot size. i think there is still a chance to go up monday or tuesday. {image}
oh gosh i do not know what to say.
i crawled back out from the lion's den.
this week has been phenomenal to me.

So do not be impressed and fooled by those showing more than 100% week return.
it is so much easier to do it with a $10 account.
who knows behind that one shown, how many failed ones before that.

yesterday gold was considered a ranging day.
just an experiment. all pips are rounded down to the nearest 50.

gold with 50 pips take profit in a ranging condition.
1. 200 pips movement can be a turning point.
2. average maximum to hold is 100 pips.
3. 6 down tp of 50 pips each is 300 pips.
4. 5 up tp of 50 pips each is 250 pips.

best condition for taking profit is 50 - 100 pips.

i do use quasimodo pattern for trade entry many times.
for those who tag onto my thread but not onto me, here are 5 posts on the subject matter.

{quote} QML is just an entry pattern just like any others, nothing special. They are all prone to failures. But how can one make it special and increase the probability of success? Every traders should focus on that. In my humble opinion, it is the higher time frame level location that makes the difference. The higher the time frames the better. MN, W1, D1 levels. H4 can be used for intraday. You are only to find the QML pattern at those levels. Not any where else like in the middle of an intraday mini trend. Later on, i shall post something on this. Meanwhile work on the htf levels.

You reap what you sow.
Your action has consequences.
Each person will be rewarded according to his own effort.
There is no exception to the rule.
