In post #12, you should go long on the break of the green bar on the bottom, instead, you mention shorting it again if the pullback candle gets broken, unless I misunderstood. I don't criticize the method, it just seems to me that when applied mechanically (as the rules are clearly objective), it won't make money in the long run. There could be some discretionary twists that you apply to it causing you to make money long term, I just don't believe that if you executed every single signal you would have a winning strategy (if yes, one could just trade this in an automated fashion...).
