hi noob question. how do i draw a box?

i'm using mt4. i drew a box by "insert" then click "shape" then click "rectangle".

however i was unable to set the box size nor move it
Right click on the chart, select objects, select rectangle, go to parameters tab. Once you see it on the chart you can also double click on it and hold down the left mouse button on one of the select points and drag the box or adjust size.

Well, look at that! Not only did PA retrace to the large blue box, it has retraced all the way to the lower level of it.

This is the 7th example in a row since last week that this has happened.

What does this tell us guys? Don't just subscribe and stay in the shadows, speak up and tell me your thoughts and observations.

Price likes to return to these boxes so maybe we can use them for targets as well as entries?

What does this tell us guys?

Ok. Well for me it says why we set shorts out of the box in the first place. Overhead resistance is very strong and I would not be setting longs in a situation like this:

Hi

Am I doing it right? Please see my chart attached.

Using the 1 hr GBPUSD cart I see a nice set up today was at 10.00am going short and at around 3.00pm going long? (all times GMT)

Good afternoon,
I am not new to trading, but I am very new to forex. I chose to join this thread and one other because they are clean and simple. The folks here seem very positive. There seems to be a lot of negative reports out there about forex brokers. Could someone here suggest a broker they have trusted for a while ? Thank you.

Views don't mean anything, there are threads with a million plus views but only a few thousand replies. This is an interesting and very clean method and it would be a shame for you to close the thread.

FH, i sure want to reply more in the near future, but first want to play around with it to get familiar with it.

I put the boxes on 4 pairs. Just moving them along when I have some spare time, wich is rarely. Meanwhile thinking on the amount of pips for box sizes for the other pairs. Maybe 2,5 or 3 times ATR is a good guideline (for me) but testing it.

The site of the box also seems a good TP point, but also figuring this out. Also looks like a previous box can act as a TP / SL zone.

The tread is still fesh, give people some time to test/play with it. I'm sure the number of replies (and quality of replies) will increase a lot faster after a while. Those 10 pages you mentioned before will sure be hit, and many more.....Patience

No-one is asking you to be a signal service. You post a well thought out and concisely explained trading rationale, which many 100's here (most in the background at the moment) are no doubt running with in their own time. I'm intrigued by your impatience, why threaten thread closure at this stage?

Ditto! ForexHard, I have literally just found this thread and though I am a noobie, I feel that this is a system that would appeal to me (it seems really simple).
As has been said a few posts back, I feel its a great shame if you close this thread.
Many MANY THANX for your time, effort and energy.
Bye

Hi Forexhard,

Is the correct for a short entry? My target would be 1.6000 support area
