According to the criteria in the PDF the second bar has to have a higher low, in which case we would not trade it as it would not be either a DBLHC or a BUEOB. Could still be a false breakout though.

That was almost the HIKKAKE in the works. LOL

Think I am going to demo this as a TT on the H1 with a 20 pip SL.

An hourly close below and I am out.


Reasons for the TT are, a strong daily uptrend, H4 close above and the H1 BUEOB.

I'm sorry, what is TT?

it is a Touch Trade meaning, when price touches this are where I have the green line which is 0.82064

I am in.

May not work out but, we shall see what happens and then work on it.

You will note a 3 pip difference in the actually price I bought at when price touched this area, that is because of the spread.

Around half of that, on my live account that is.

This is a new methodology I am trying to get down.


We got the H1 signature albeit not a great pin.

IF this can develop into a red one i'm in.... prolly take it now if it was closing like this to be honest (well almost - prefer stronger close) a lot can happen in an hour and a bit.

H8 can be very powerful people.... i didn't take the long position from swing low cos the H4 PB wasnt a PB.... look at it on H8.... a beauty.

I'm cross i didn't take it - i'm happy i just learned something.

Here is a trade I took yesterday . I am posting it more in sense of capital handling , than for an example of a nice trade . What i mean is that it was during the inactive sessions , when i usually sleep and don't open trades (took the idea from Mike ). So what I did was to cut risk to 0.15% . I do this sometimes when i want to exercise my trade management . No better way than some forward testing
So what do you guys think ? Do you endorse such kind of experience ?

This zone I was watching anyway , but didn't got a nice trigger to enter a full position .

hope this current bar gets bullish and closes above 1.6015.... super 8H pin formed off BRN if it does.

Should be out of this trade after the H1 close below.

I am going to give it a little more room and use the H4 CB as the take out.

The reasons for this are, 1 strong daily UT, H4 close above, unconvincing H1 close below.
