I am in it.
I was just about to post, take caution as you may see some minor pullbacks as it's at some resistance. Let us know how you manage and go with this trade

Hi Lawgirl,
do you only trade H1 if there was a 2 tap on the h4?
I took a close look at H1 and find that you can trade it separately from any h4 setup. Is that your experience as well?
Yes, absoultely CC. This early in the trading week, there are few good H4 3 tap set-ups. But when trend is clear, look for other ways to enter.

I do not only use H1 BOs for 2 taps on H4. One of my favorite entries is on the H1 4 candle BOs. (now included on Page 1 of this thread)

You are right P23, PA has tried to push through that big number 4150 about 6 times on the M15 chart and gets turned back each time.

Yes that's what I meant - the h1 4 candle entry. It can be traded without consultation of the h4, is what my backtesting experience shows. Correct?

Thank you for all of your efforts.

I love the theory, your charts are almost identical to my own.

Trend trading using support and resistance. I love it.

Hi lawgirl21,
Thanks for sharing this strategy and dedicating time to following this thread.

I have a question about the initial scan of the pairs. I see you mention that, on the first scan, you look for pairs that have RSI(3) on W1+D1+H4 either all up, either all down.
As H4 might already be on the countertrend to forming the 3rd tap, don't you agree it's possible to have W1+D1 opposite to H4, and yet having a "worth watching" pair?

Check the atached chart.

oh yes! clearly shows your expertise in this. But I missed it and could not get in at the start of it. anyway using your system of S/R and trend line and also H1 BO I am gaining confidence in the trading.

I also traded Live today in EURUSD going short using M15 BO and HI trendline and made +40 pips after a string of losses previous to your thread..

Thanks !!

Hi LG, did you take the EURAUD long on the H1? I entered too late and ended on the close of the h1 candle, which was right at the top...

Thanks for your advise.
Glad to have you here lookas.

Of course, one can have any pair they like on the watch list. But my initial scan is to narrow down that list, in other words, I don't even look at a pair that, at the time I scan them, does not conform on all time frames. THEN I go back to each pair individually and "see what I can see" i.e. look for set-ups. Sometimes at this point, the trade has been missed, sometimes it is just starting, sometimes there is no discernable trade.

I don't generally care which pair/s I trade. If you are watching a particular pair, however, yes it is possible to have H4 in a countertrend as you are watching for that 3rd tap. Hope this makes sense, it is the middle of the night for me...

I did. I posted that chart on the last page, I think. I did adjust my TP down a little, because I was tired. Looks like that was a good move.
