OK, I will show you why it is important to know all the levels from MN! Remember what I posted about Understanding the Chart? Remember what I posted about the workings of the Candlestick? This applies to every Candlestick! So, I was plotting PTECZs, on the W1 EURJPY: {image} Nothing new, the old, usual way! Historical PTECZs. I switched to MN just to check: {image} And, enlightning struck, again! Damn, it is so obvious, it is the end of the month! Since there is some important Resistance at the top, the MN Candlestick is in formation! The Wick or...

What mean historical PTECZ on MN?

{quote} {image} I will never understand why people can't tell PTECZ from Break Out/Down Candle. When a Candle Breaks the Open level of the preceeding Candle significantly, that is a Trend Candle, a Break Candle. How complicated is that? Anyway, you can plot your Zone as you wish, just be aware what is what.
Yeah, well there was no image to go by in that post either and all of a sudden you are talking about PTECZ so no wonder I had no idea where to draw the zone.

I appreciate that you annotated my chart, I see now exactly how you are drawing these zones.

This pattern/behaviour seems very common on all timeframes. I like it.

I'll practice finding them and trading them.

Cheers
Healthy, Wealthy & Steady!!

It means nothing.
What you are trying to figure out means nothing.
There are no rules in this Market.

PTECZ is local consolidation.
Price can always do 3 things:
1. Consolidate (No Trend),
2. Break Out (Trend Up),
3. Break Down (Trend Down).

What is important in trading are also 3 things:
1. Trend for your trading style,
3. Risk which you can afford to lose,
3. Money & Risk Management.

That is all. There is no other truth(s).

Nothing means anything, because the Market dictates not the chart.

The sooner you realise this fact, the better for you!

Right, that pattern is one of the strongest, because there is already a Break/Trend Candle.
But, it is also very often a false signal.
You must figure out which one is the strong one.

Also, please understand that I am not sitting inside your head.
You are reading material from over a year ago.
This is like eons ago for me.
I have advanced so much during that time, as you will see reading on my story.
I can't follow your steps, now, I can't think your way.
You can't think my way, yet.

So, be patient with my replies, keep on asking when you need clarification.

Dear Dadas
I'm reading your thread about week, I observe some contradictions. Earlier you said better choose the last PTESCZ and wider, where there was a great volatility, now you say means nothing. The examples you choose or the most maximum or minimum. What is better?

Better is that which works best for you.

There is nothing "better" or "worse" objectively.
Every person is individual and must find his or her own way that works for them.
I have written about this many times in my thread.

I am also telling you one more time, that you are reading material from more than a year ago.
I am not living in one year ago.
I am living and trading now, in the present!

You can follow my thread from the begining and learn as you go on and practise.
Or, you can forget it and go somewhere else.
I told you before, 2 or 3 times, that you need 3 years to go through the whole process.

You are looking for answers and truths, but there aren't any!!!

The market will move the price where it will move it, and there is nothing we can do about it.
No level means anything, no Price Action means anything, they are just signals, but it is your choice to act.

I am tired of trying to make you understand the obvious!

Trend+Risk+Money Management=Profit

If you want to play it this way, I won't help you any more.

When did you open the SL on EURJPY?
When Price started going against you?
Because it isn't there on your first image.
You never move your SL to more Loss!!!
You must always place your SL immediately after opening the trade.
Still, this never gives you any guarantee that your SL will be placed.
Sometimes the price will move so quickly against you,
that you will not be able to place SL, like 100 Pips in a matter of seconds, or shorter.

What about the GBPCHF trade?
