I notice on most charts posted here people do not take the fake breakouts on the H1BOC but the opposite successful one. I understand that RSI confirmation on H1 and H4 is enough for direction, also a 15 min candle close outside the box as another confirmation. But even on the fake ones we do have those confi's. Please clarify, thanks..

I am not sure of your question, but if it is "how do we avoid fake BOs?" even with confirmation of RSI and close above/below S/R on M15 chart..the answer is that we can't always.

Here are two charts I am currently watching to enter short, everything looks great and confirms a short direction...yet the market will do what it wants to do. We can only give ourselves an edge, then move on. That's what we are trying to do here.

The two white M5 candles will keep me out of this trade, at least for now. That is the beauty of this system.

That was exactly what I asked for LG. Appreciate the quick response.

Here is the short trade I took this morning. Notice the long BO? I am glad I missed that, I would take it which turned to be a loser.

Update 1: Closed half lot, free ride now. Will let run.

M5 Chart (don't know why TF is not printing)

Now, I will enter this trade short. I have given myself ever reasonable edge for a winning trade, but still can't be sure it will be. That is just the nature of trading.

Are you Saving your chart as a "Picture"? If yes, it should print the whole chart

Another one for the immediate watch list. RSIs are telling us where it is "supposed" to go. Let's see.....

Yes, saving as a picture. It does print the whole chart on my other computer...odd. Thanks though.

LawGirl,

At some time you said you are using different bars to do your readings... I just can't seem to find the post - can you direct me there?

I see your red and white bars and like that - but I believe they are different...

I have no idea what post that was MDF. But I have started using Heiken Ashi bars which are average price bars available on all platforms, I believe. They smooth out price. I really am liking them a great deal.

LG, do you use HA bars for entries also? If so, how exactly? I have trouble seeing the actual scout/break below points with those suckers. I agree though, they are great for exits to keep you in the trade longer.

I do use HA bars for entries too..still marking the scouts/wicks with a horizontal line. The only trade entry I have found that they do not work well for are Gaps...really can't see them with HAs.

Thanks Darren and welcome. You will have to do your own backtesting, demoing, etc. to determine if this works for you. All I can tell you is that I make money when I follow the system and generally don't when I move away from it.
