I don't want to hijack the thread with 3rd party software. But with automation I mean you can pre-set your parameters and the EA manages your order for you. You still have to open the actual trade or set a limit or stop order. There is a ton of them out there I just happen to like the one I posted.
The Mt4 platform offers the same functions, I just like to have everything condensed and on one-click.

The disadvantage like all EAs is that if you lose power or the internet, you can not control it anymore. Some people use vpns for that reason.

But I think this leads too far for this thread. As we should focus on the method, the rest is just technicalities. Trust me, that EA will not make you more profitable trader. It's just a little helper.

You can write me directly.

In the meantime I wanted to philosophize about my "conflicts" I have with this method. It's the breakouts.

I am very reluctant to trade the reversal back from breakouts, once a prev. day's high or low was broken. I am looking to stay in a range of the prev. day. But that actually increases my chance of ending up in a breakout because the longer we are in a range the more likely we will break out.
If I do trade the reversals of the breakouts I have a good chance of not hitting the reversal bar but get caught in the up or down move.

The solution I have found so far is to move stoploss to BE fast. Which is the actual essence of the method.

But I also sometimes decide to not take a trade because of where the price is. This non-consistency and discretion is what I struggle with.....

Sticking to the rules will prevent losses.
During a breakout, it is best to let the candle close.
Which candle is up to you.
H1 is the safest.
M15 gives more entry chances.
M5 is for the daring.

Look at an H1 chart.
Find the breakout H1 candle(s) for the day.
After the dust settles, there usually is another H1 candle where you could have banked some pips.

The chart shows the daily highs/lows for the past 3 days.
Can you determine the ideal H1 candles to trade after the breakouts for each day?

How do you know a search for YouTube videos with the word "dance" in the title wasn't executed?
Never assume.

As I mentioned before, nothing is preventing you from trading the breakout.
Does not matter this is not a breakout method.
Use the right tool for the job.

Hint: yesterday's high/low lines are the only things necessary to trade breakouts today.
There are the weekly and monthly breakouts, too.
There are always trades to be made.

Thanks for the answers. I agree to trade the breakouts as well, esp. in the Asian session. To your question on post #1552. With hindsight I can say I would have ideally traded the green up bars, but at time I would not have known. So I go back in time, and try to find a bar that does not make another low, maybe 41 and 30. I could say 9 but at the time I don't think I would have entered.

Also, I did not say what date, just a date, unless you have no age. ;-)
