Really? Got some research to share about that? Seems they move together, I highlight the Daily but check out time frames.

{quote} Regarded the timing. This is always difficult. Here in my humble office i have these times to understand: GMT UTC - not the same as GMT DNT - Danish Normal Time ?? - if there is a chat, where is the person located - timezone? Brokertime - this is the chart time. (Where the brokers server is placed)- summertime/vintertime - different in some weeks between Europe and US. So when I make a robot I always let the user input the wanted times, at his input will be read as the chart time (broker time). So you guys can play with the timing as you...
Done. It took me 10 minutes to make this robot. Hope I got the rules right, otherwise it is easy to make changes.

Monday I will test and correct the errors I always make. So I will release first testversion monday.

Hi Island,
Thrust bar defined as close max 25% from the extreme? I.e. up thrust has a close of less than 25% from the top.
Just checking ;-)

Cheers

This is a basic system that can be used to capture the market opening move. I have talked about this system before, it is nothing new. 5 SMA bands of high and low. Time frame is up to you. I use 15m but that is not firm. Rules for a BUY and SELL 1. Only place trades in the first 1.5Hrs of the market open 2. Price has traded outside the bands and closes off the high or low or closes as a thrust bar. 3. Enter on a close inside the bands. 4. Take profit at support and resistance levels. That's it. I will post a few charts, it' is up to you to explore...
2. Price has traded outside the bands and closes off the high or low or closes as a thrust bar.

I have some doubts now that I reread it.
Price has traded outside the bands - do you mean that both open and close prise have been outside the band?
closes off the high or low - do you mean that there shall always be a spike on both ends?

Hi Island

I found this description of a Thrust bar. An Engulfing bar but with some circumstanses as described in the article.

Do you agree about that definition? If you do, I will implement a Thrust bar filter. It has some requirements regarding Bull, Bear, Volume and smart money, so it will take some time. But I think it will be usefull.

Upthrust Bar | Volume-Price Analysis (https://www.marketvolume.com/vsa/upthrust-bar.asp)

Edit: We cannot talk about Volume on Forex, since the market is devided on loads of brokers, so I can look away from that part. It leaves us with a large Engulfing bar in the opposit direction of a nice trend and closing inside the band.

Hi @Islandfx911
I'm having some trouble to clearly understand the rules as per Erebus and RiskFighter comments.
Can I suggest to write the time for trading in GMT format so it's the same for everybody despite their location on the globe.
Thanks

Hi RF is it possible to highlight the THRUST BAR with a painted Colour and signal alert again how many bars will the 1.5 be or how many bars from the day opening can someone have before the appearance of the THRUST BAR. Thanks

I can mark the bars. Not by a colour but something that is easy to spot. A large Star. And possibility to switch this symbol on/off, so that it does not disturb anything.

But we need confirmation from Island. The OP is always the boss.

The start of trading and the 1st bar I will trade is the 2.45 bar that closes inside the bands.

I think it would be good to forget about alarms / alerts for the moment and concentrate on the basic setup parameters. I'll post trades this week and answer questions then people can get into RF's alarm / alert.

Hi Islandfx911

That's a setup I trade all the time, except I am first Long and then Short before you get your first entry signal.
Its my secret sauce 92% winner.

What is a Upthrust Bar? (Future's or Stock Market Bar)

1.. It starts with High Ask Imbalance with 2-3 times normal volume levels.
2.. Big players start to stack the Ask book with Sell Orders
3.. This triggers Type B Algo's to attack the Asks creating a Bullish thrust.
4.. Stops get trigger causing a instant move up creating a Gap in its place.
5.. No more Stops? - price collapses to fill gap creating a Bearish trend.
6.. Maybe it sells off now. RickM is out with nice profits for his Long then short and Islandfx911 gets in for his setup.
