{quote} Those are not part of this system. Your ideas could be used in another system. Why what for the 00 lines? How often do you see a close at 00? Traders move price away from 00 lines.
At least the first part of my question could be considered as a possible part of this system - using some multiple of the hourly distribution mean as an optimal target/stop?

Traders have the knack for taking simple systems and complicating them thus destroying them and their accounts. Currency pair price is in flux and should be handled accordingly. In the moment and at the time is trading. Every tick a decision is made. Between ticks decisions are made. Wait? Enter? Exit? Monday morning quarterbacks exist everywhere. More hindsight than foresight. Woulda, coulda, shoulda, blah, blah, blah. Traders trade, some win, some lose and that is that.

Above each candle, top green number is pips (high - open) , bottom green number (close - open) and below each candle, bottom red number is pips (open - low), top red number (open - close). The pips are there for those with the guts to trade.

Profit is to be taken swiftly once the pair stops moving

How long of a time period defines "stops moving"? When do you exit when you are not in profit?

Price starts and stops moving. Enter a trade. Price moving in your direction, your trade P/L goes from red to green and price stops moving. You exit. When trade P/L is red and reaches your trade risk amount, you exit.

Sounds a lot like Linuxtroll, a complete hack of a trader, but great marketer.

You've yet to show anything useful in this thread so I will discontinue my engagement in it. You have been nothing but vague and leave plenty of reasonable doubt as to whether you actually trade like this, which leaves your entire motive for entertaining this thread rather suspect.

Sounds very discretionary, which is ok. But price often "stops moving" and then continues leaving you with one or two pips as you watch it pull away.

The exits are discretionary. When profit presents itself, a decision must be made either take it or risk it. Just as often, traders wish they had taken profit when they had the chance. EURJPY moves 11 pips per H1 bar most of the time. Take away the 3 pip spread, 8 pips remain. There is no shame exiting with 3 pips.

Have noticed your almost naked chart from post 3622 of "As simple as possible: 00 level trading". Would like to study. Could you show me how to set up the chart?

Use the sweetspots gold indicator. Mainlines input set to 10 and sublines set to 5. Nothing else absolutely necessary.

No one gets their head bitten off for asking a question in this thread. Courtesy and respect for each other is how we conduct ourselves here. No need for rudeness or belittling. You may want to include the "multi_meter_candlecolor" indicator (that is a partial name you can use in a search engine to find).
