yongezy, it would do you good to read the rules of this system. No candles in the box are good to trade. If you glance through the rules you'll see why.

english is not my main speaking. My charts showed boxes that i have doubts to trade. That's why i posted for help.

You are an experience trader, hope you can help.

Both charts have 2nd candlesticks showed outside the 12ma but their bodies are not "big" or "full." in these cases, how?

Thank you.

here is another real chart showing all rules are met, but i think now when the body is small, it is best not to trade. What do you think?

According to the rules this is a no trade becouse the first candle that have the open and close aboue the 12 ma "zones" didnt make a new high, the next candle looks like a possible reversal candle, adx is below 22 and its friday a no-trade day. You should re-read this manual becouse clearly your not making it by the rules

I would say that your box is in wrong place. the candle on the very left edge of your box would qualify for entry. there is a close above emas just before this candle. Then the next candle opens and closes above the emas and makes a new high. the adx changes from a down slope to a upslope. I would have entered on this provided it wasnt on a friday. I think people are thinking that you mean the last candles shown on your chart. Go back a few candles to where the orange box is drawn.

No, it isnīt a valid Candle-2 because it does not make a lower Low from Candle 1.

Here is a valid candle 2 ( I donīt check Friday = no trade because I will trade
on Fridays if I see a good setup) :

The second red arrow just means that candle 3 fulfilled condition 2,
but the entry would have been at the close of the signal candle (first red arrow)

The latest version of the dashboard and indicator have been uploaded.

Apart from the fact that there's no trading on Fridays, i think i found a nice setup this morning. What do you think?

Very nice setup.

And the Dashboard or Cobra-indicator would have found it for you and alerted you.
There were 3 candles which met the conditions for Candle 2 ( a red arrow is drawn when a valid Candle 2 is there ).

Yes I saw the resistance, and this is my interpretation of the chart. Like you said, who knows?
Exactly.
Nobody knows. Maybe a fortune teller ? I doubt it.

But you entered on a valid Candle 2 and if you set the SL at the bottom blue band, your SL did not trigger, but look now ...... green pips

iah,

My thought was that the candle to the left of the box did not close out of the 12MA. Now i know what you meant.

Thanks for pointing.

I got it now due to my mistake. Will watch out for "lower low" condition.

I agreed with you on taking a good set up regardless Friday or not. One can just close or move SL to BE when approaching closing of the week.

Like fxtr51 opinion, you could take the good set up trade and make some $ or the worst BE at the end of the closing week.

I attached a candle time indicator.

The support-resistance-H4 indicator is very good. I have it on all charts
and price does respect it almost always.

Yep.. price went nowhere all day but now stop at BE and away we go. Just have to trust there won't be a big gap down over the weekend but I think breaking that resistance means there is a bullish bias now.
All opinions stated are purely opinions.. I may be wrong!

When do we move SL to BE?
Can someone point to me in the manual?
Of course I will read again to see if I can locate it.

Reason ask is to prevent from losing a trade like the image.
Any idea?

the huge spike one the left is a warning sign that price might enter a resistance area....buying into resistance is never a good idea even a system gives a signal... for eurusd 1h timeframe a conservative strategy is to move to be after 30 pips but it's not the same for every pair and timeframe ..just my 2 cents
