Could you please let me know when you are in a trade, do you watch the PA in 1Min chart or do you flip between 1min 5Min and 15 min constantly ? I seem to loose pips due to (delay or early) closing trades. What are the triggers to look for reversal of trend. Quite often Alogos mess with the fractals do not go with direction. Thanks in advnce for your respone.

When i am in a trade i first find a strong support/ resistance area from my charts. to do that i have multiple charts with fibonacci channels (different channels on diff TF's) and the larger the TF the stronger the S/R. Also channel-clusters (multiple fibchannels-lines cross or meet in the same level).
This is target.
For reversals i look 5/1 min charts and the patterns on the fibchannel. 5min charts shows the pattern and i look for confirmations from 1min chart. If 1 min charts shows a rejection from fibchannel. Large wick on candle or engulfing candles etc. For further more confirmation i look how the price acts on the fibchannel that was previously broken (if downmove then the upper broken channel, if upmove then lower broken channel) on smaller TF's because i have noticed that this is usually the bounce point. If that previous line is also broken this confirms a reversal and i will exit for sure (if TP not hit). Because the smaller TF channels are close togeather (approx 5-10-15 pips each other) i don't lose very much from that trade

Hope this was helpful and understandable. Don't know how to put my thoughs any clearer.

By the looks of it it may test the 00 again. fibchannel upper line and 5min bullish div.
you also mentioned the 5min div. From my experance these 5min divs don't play out in 5 or 10 minutes. may take 20-30 min before making a move. so far 2 waves created. there might be 3rd lower wave making lower low before playing out (Waves on macd).

the 3rd wave may come because it is also making hidden bear div with the upper waves between the lower ones.

you are right, i see the range typically 15-30 minutes

97 is good enough for me.

Will upload chart
red lines bullish div with 2 waves
blue lines hidden bear div with 2 waves
You can also see the upper fibline (yellow)
This could mean it may go down to the 60-70 area and then bullsi hdiv with 3rd wave into play.
