A few have inquired about longer time frames.
The chart above is daily.
The highest/lowest daily open for the past 10 days.

{quote} Not a good time to trade gbp pairs due to brexit, IMHO. London and NY sessions provide many chances. Stop loss should be past the daily high/daily low. Adjust position size to keep trade risk constant. It pleases me to see you are making this "your own". Well done.{image}
I will stop trading all GBP pairs tomorrow as my broker will stop offering any type of meaningful margin.
Will experiment with the stop losses some more as I go forward...

Hi to slow i have an idea and i like to ask you for a opinion the question is next: Your system is good but i thing that what is missing is the HH or LL of that day. So if i use the idicator wich shows daily range of pips for that day for the pair let's say here is AUD/USD so after nr of pips is fullfilled i have clear picture nou as you see in pic? What do you think about these, thanx and all the best for you bro

Unless you mean something else by HH and LL.

Egxactly daily h and daily L was my point?
D1[0] High is the daily high
D1[1] High is yesterday's high
D1[0] Low is the daily low
D1[1] Low is yesterday's low
Can you see those lines marked on the chart?
Maybe there is a misunderstanding.

WARNING
When price breaks through yesterday's high or low or makes a new high or low today, that is a breakout!
Trade the reversal with caution.

Hi TooSlow,
Could you please explain why it's not just
because if the current M5 / M15 bar is a breakout bar, then the current H1 bar is breaking out as well - and even if next M5/M15 bars don't go further and even fulfill Rule #3, we shouldn't be allowed to trade them because H1[0] remains to be a breakout bar till the hour closes and the OR condition in Rule #1 tells us we should wait (supported by Rule #5) .
That said, I've encountered many profitable opportunities if I bent Rule #1 by ignoring H1's breakout property if smaller TFs showed PA pointing to a reversal, especially short before H1 closed, forming a pinbar / fakey, while there was a considerable (SR? SD?) level causing the rejection. But I guess this is exactly the "make it your own" playground example, and can't be generalized by adding any if-then sub-rules.. this all makes me believe Rule #1 should only mention H1.
Sorry for this perhaps too stupid (and rigid matter) question; I'd just like to have this clarified because of proper coding.
Even more apologies if the answer is in the thread already - I've skimmed through it all but couldn't find it.
Thanks for everything you've done here so far
Rule #1:
No entry on H1, M15 or M5 Breakout Bars
Rule #1:
No entry on H1 Breakout Bars

Depends on which chart you are using.
Price is the same on all charts.
You can have a green H1 but a red M15 and/or red M5 when price returns to the H1 highest open.
One trader waits while another takes the trade.
The rules are guidelines to help prevent losses and premature entries.
