Does anyone know why there would be a delay for the 'Daily Line Boxes OC' indicator to draw in the lines for the current day.

After about 20 sec to 1 minutes it eventually displays it. Just a little frustrating.

Thanks!

Not sure maybe theres a lot of data already loaded? Did you try closing all charts and reopening them?

Also is the number on top of the lines the number of pips difference?

Lawgirl, thanks a lot for the PA methods. Truly a great way to learn to trade naked.

Would this be a valid 3 Tap H4? or do the candlesticks have to be the same direction as trend?

Longs need TL below candles in upward direction. (ie the last three green candles on your chart). Reverse for shorts

Hello people, took a few days off to breathe and refocus, now back full swing again..
Nice BO here, now looks like it might be turning into a ZC trade..

Excellent gap trading, Cristian.
Thank you LG. closed my last 4C H1 BO trades, major US news is coming up at 10AM

EURUSD long -18
USDJPY long +4

EURUSD gap filled but the 4C H1 BO i added as a separate long position never hit my +30 TP so I decided to close it because of the news.

I thought the retrace would be a little wider here. Will probably exit depending on what the open of the next H1 candle looks like.

I took 30 pips out of this pair last night. Am hoping the retrace is brief and that there is a continuation down.

I did not have a SL on that trade. I was watching PA and the RSIs.

Gotcha. I have one question for you that I thought about over the weekend. I know that most breakout systems are centered around a particular open (i.e, London, NY) but this is looks at the start of my trading day according to my broker's time. This works great for me but I'm wondering why it does :-) In other words, why do I only have to concern myself with my broker's time though it may be two hours before or four hours 'after' a session's opening? I hope I have articulated that question correctly.

thanks for your time.
