The 1-2-3 pattern repeats itself.

Hard not to sound like a broken record. ( I wonder how many more years before that expression disappears? )

Exercise caution when trading. Look for a "why" not to enter. In this case, higher low follows higher low. Trading short at this time may prove detrimental.

Just as trading long here could work against you. There are 5 pips gains to be made if that is your "thing".

I've got most of TRO's indi's but I don't remember seeing that one (showing the high and low of the current candle). I'll have to look again.

Is this a re-entry? Again a rejection of the earlier established daily high?

It was an entry on current bar. The current bar failed to make a new daily high and retraced to current bar open and kept going down.

There are times when waiting for the next bar leaves too many pips behind like when the bear turns into a bull. Brown line at open price of bar where bear bar turned into bull bar.

I'm confused. So what are the steps to this system?
This really isn't a system per se. From the first post:


A sell below the H1 open of the bar immediately following the bar making the highest high would have resulted in profit. In summary, a bar makes a high and closes. Next bar fails to make a higher high and reverses. Sell when price drops below the open price of the current bar.

A buy above the H1 open of the bar immediately following the bar making the lowest low would have resulted in profit. In summary, a bar makes a low and closes. Next bar fails to make a lower low and reverses. Buy when price rises above the open price of the current bar.

One, two or three candles. When a new daily high or daily low is made, price will reverse or retrace. This almost always happens on the bar making the new daily high/daily low. Waiting for that bar to close usually prevents early entry and loss. The next bar shows whether or not price makes another new daily high or daily low. When it doesn't, it is time for entry.

a new daily high or low on what timeframe?

Daily high or daily low is independent of timeframe.

can you please show an example on a 1 hour chart with control y showing the daily delineations vertical lines....

I apologize but I do not understand your question. What is "control y"? Here is a chart showing the entire day so far.

Daily high or daily low is independent of timeframe. The chart is M15 timeframe. Please notice the daily high and daily low lines are exactly the same as the H1 timeframe chart in the previous post. Hopefully, that clears up any misconceptions. I apologize if my answers have not been understandable. Thank you for your questions.

A buy entry at the brown line, after price made a new daily low this bar[0], would be 10 pips in profit. Dagoods, does this help answer your previous question?
