GJ update.

Closed all GJ and reloaded. So we can decided not too waste pips if we like.

Could this be true? I am really exploiting Dadas ways of seeing PA.

The Zone Candle
I hope that by now, everybody who has been following,
can see the actual Potential of the Zone Candle with Index and Pause.

1. It can be used as the Larger Tf Background for refference,
2. It can be used as the smaller Tf Background for refference,
3. It can be used as the TBCZ Indicator,
4. It can be used as the PTECZ Indicator.

I have shown a number of ways for you to use these ideas.

You are welcome to think and create your own combinations.

Please, share your ideas with everybody!

I am in Long on EURUSD.

Could have entered earlier, but was posting and looking at other pairs:

As you can see, the Price is reacting to PTECZ levels as if enchanted!

My logic for EURUSD today was based on:
1. D1 Candles: day-before-yesterday and yesterday,
where the refference background is the D1 day-before-yesterday!
2. H4, H1, M30 confirmation on that refference background.
3. Daily Range indications.

Thus, I knew the Support Zone of the D1 refference background is the best Long Entry Zone.

I was a bit late for that!

Of course, just a little above is still good enough!

Today, I have optimised on the new way with Custom_Zone_Candle_with_Index.mq4:

The clue word is "flexibility".

So, I have turned it around for Day Trading.

If I like to Enter from the M5 chart, that is where I start,
just the plain chart with my little helpers:

Now, I want to see the important levels, so I look upwards (M30, H1, H4, D1, W1, MN),
I look for previous Candle setting the important HL levels
in relation to where the price is now.
In this case I find the Candle on H4, so I plot the Custom_Zone_Candle_Tf = 240,
Custom_Zone_Candle_Index = 2, and Pause_Custom_Zone_Candle = true:

Then, I switch chart Tf back down and look for confirmation signals in the Support Zone.

Now, I can switch back to M5 and make entry decisions considerring Daily Range:

I can, now, either help myself with extra PTECZ, or I can just watch out for PTECZ!

And, this seems to be the best way, so far!

Now, there is a M30 PTECZ, so I Closed at 20 Pips Profit and will see what next.
Generally, DR is still low and the NY session is yet to come:

Hi Dada's,

Still reading your thread with attention.

- That means you are looking for short? Cause the H4 candle (index - 2) you choose is red, so its not a PTECZ candle?

- The next H4 candle is green (index -1) and have almost the same body = PTECZ candle for long ?

- the 2 H4 candles (index -2 and index -1) form a indecision zone? looks like the one start on 15 mars.

Now, I do not want to be preaching, but just maybe we should be careful,
because the Fat Guys might be wanting to take our SLs just at the NY session?

Looks like you got lost, confused a bit, maybe.

No, I am not looking for Short.

I am looking for the most important refference Candle.

Since I see the Consolidation or indecision, I have now
the refference background where the Support is.

Price Action inside the Support Zone shows me Long for that part of Day.

H4 Zone Candle shows me that recently in history Price went up fron this level:

If you are looking for Short on GBPUSD, you have to look on MN Candle:

And then relate accordingly:

Still, shows Long for Day Trading.

If you are trading longer terms, maybe you want to wait for Short?
That is your choice.

PS.
I was talking about Entering Long in Support Zone, not at the top!!!

Now, is where the PTECZ comes useful, to see where the price is going next!

thank you for explanation and your patience.

Yes, that confused me is that you choose a red candle in a down trend. If you had choose the green candle just next (this candle have exactly the same body), this one could be a PETCZ. Its seems too me more logic, for a long.

But probably what is confused me a lot is english

I do not mean to abuse you in any way, but I want to comment on what I see on your chart.

Yes, this is some kind of PA trading, but I see that, maybe, you do not understand Price Action
in the way I present in this thread.

In your chart, there are 4 trades shown.

You deleted the arrows.
You forgot to delete the lines.

Those 3 trades are terrible!

The 4th trade is OK, but you opened somewhere and closed somewhere.

Please, read this thread carefully, it will help you trade better.

Yes, you are right.
I could have chosen the PTECZ.

I chose the TBCZ, because it was Trend Begining.

I chose the TBCZ, because it was the last red Candle, so it made the Low for Bears.

PS.
I have a distant relative in France.
He is or was some important person in AT&T.
