thanks, i think i just misunderstood where you entered. your entry to sell for 2b was triggered in the area where 3rd arrow is pointing...

have you considered/tested trading the frankfurt/london open? or is it just unpractical due to timezone?

also with regards to transaction cost - now that you trade futures, there is bid and ask difference in price, right?

second trade was the 2b which lost third trade was the hat setup at same price as 2b. The us session has the most volume and we need a sessions work of PA to establish days trend. There is no spread just 4.50 comm per lot

Hi. Seems interesting thread Does this sistem work only with range bars? Is possible to have those range bars on Metatrader?
@Mag357 - it works best on range bars &, yes, range bars can be plotted in MT4, although you'll have to use the FF search function to find a free range bar indi & follow instructions as to how to set them up. NB. We are primarily trading CL oil futures @$10/tick here, & most of the "regulars" are using either Sierra Chart or NinjaTrader, both of which have range bars as standard (all in the thread).

Thank you for the answer.
I will search for the range bar indicator and try to follow you on CL CFD I have on my Metatrader (I guess cfd chart looks the same as future crude oil?).

both cases of more than 1 signal off same setup ... not many examples of this but seems to be reliable on the whole to take the second signal
