{quote} Thank you! I have another question. For the two attached charts below, Candle B is within the entry zone, However, since the open price of Candle B is also the new H1 highest/lowest open price, and the subsequent price never returned and closed above the open price of Candle B, Therefore, the entry conditions are not met on the M15 (Chart 1) and M5 (Chart 2) timeframes respectively, right?{image} {image}
The new Highest H1 open at Candle B created a new Area Of Interest (AOI) between the Day's High and that new open price.
Candle C and none of the following candles opened in the AOI, so no trades were validated.
Hope that helps.
Michael

Thank you for your reply. I executed a demo trade today and have some more questions to ask you. Please refer to the chart below. On the EURUSD M5 timeframe, Candlestick A not only hit the highest H1 opening price of the day, but also established the day’s high. Candlestick B opened within the AOI formed by Candlestick A. I entered the trade when Candlestick B broke below the todays highest H1 opening price. I placed my stop-loss 0.1 pips above the high of Candlestick A. Fortunately, I wasn’t stopped out at Candlestick C and went on to book decent profits afterwards.
However, I’m not sure if this trade complied with the rules. I read your explanation about breakouts in post #2718. In that example, even though the price also broke above the previous H1 high, there was no valid entry trigger during that hour, and the actual entry took place in the following hour.
Therefore, my question is regarding the entry timing: can I enter the trade during the hour when the breakout occurs, or should we wait for the breakout H1 to close and then look for an entry opportunity?
