Anyone here ever had a problem with their MT4 not activating orders? I placed a bounce trade (short) on the USDJPY last night and set my TP at 94.200, woke up just a few minutes ago and noticed price got down to 94.187 but my platform didn't close it out. Price eventually went back up, turning my trade into a big loser. It's only a demo account but I'm worried this will happen when I go live.

that has nothing to do with MT4 as a platform.
it is your broker....
do you know what is slippage?

both H4 entries look good.
manage well and watch out when London close in 3 hours...
weekend ahead so you need to decide if you will hold these trades open over the weekend.

Thanks...When these trades will go +15 to 20 pips I'll probably put BE+2 on both trades and wait next week.

inside bar (IB) are just market consolidation. the smaller the IB in relation to the previous bar 'mother bar' the better for a breakout.
the more IBs like double IB, triple IBs are better consolidation setups for breakouts.
we look for when volatility returns and price action showing momentum.

"PA is king"...remember this. The use of both TDI and Stoch as trading aid to support and confirm our reading using PA.

Important when trading such breakouts is to have a Plan A and a Plan B in situations when the first breakout turns out a fakey.
Also breakout candle is usually very fast and furious, se we need to get an entry in lower TF like H1 is good in anticipation of the potental breakout.

Breakouts are usually event driven like news/data release. Try GDBPUSD next week and practice how th trade the GDP data release on Wed 27 Mar.

Hope this explains.

look to your left ... there is support and resistance to add to the reasons for higher probability of any setups.

also do not forget to look higher TF for reconciliation.

Thank you very much. I just looked into H1 chart for all the three setups . G/J and 2 E/C
almost all these trades broke out just before LO .
After watching E/C second trade(today 1H) , i understand what you meant by fakey.
There is a support just below the DIB bars , so one should avoid taking it i guess

It is important to use multi-timeframe analysis and reconciliation in all trade decisions.

You can fine tune entries in lower TF like M15.
when in M15 chart TF, you look for
- PA with TrendLine Break (TLB)
- Flag and Pennant chart patterns
- PA and TDI divergence.

These three are very good fine tuning entry methods. It will get you into the market and with smaller initial SL hence your position size will be better.
Remember it is a money management game we play with the market. But first we need to get into the market at a good price.

Learn these and practice, practice, practice.

Great. I just eyeballed for some setups. Just like you said, smaller the inside bar the better is the breakout.
I will defintiely add this strategy in my trading plan . I will practice a lot thank you.
here is a recent DIB on GBPNZD. I understand what a fakey means. I will look into M15 first rather than 1H.
