Hindsight is 20/20.
What bars would you have entered a sell short?
What bars would you have entered a buy long?

The question before us is DO WE FILTER OUT SOME H1 HIGHEST/LOWEST OPEN TRADES?

There are 3 trading sessions per day.
There are 6 H4 candles per day.
There are 2 H4 candles per session.

The second H4 candle of the session will either:
Continue in the same direction of the first H4 candle of the session or
Reverse direction.
How can we use this to our advantage?

Highest H4 Open / Lowest H4 Open

Longer wait.

Only 6 possible high/low levels per day.
What would be missed?
What would be gained?
What would be lost?

Hi TooSlow,

Thank for the H4 open version, you're star. For above example of GBPAUD H1, price does open in area of interest, but confuse me a bit for not wait for candle close rules which shall I Sell at the next candle open at 1.7604 or after the candle reverse 1.7566?

Personally from my observation which usually H4 will dominant the trend of the day, if I use above charts EURUSD H4 as example:
1. We have H1 & M30 candles open within our's area of interest and close below indicate a reversal more likely happen.
2. Based on your method whom we are looking for price extreme and reversal setup, the H4 Higher Open chances can be the highest open and HIGH of the day.
3. H1 & M30 candles show sign of resist from both these H4 Highest Open & High level, and when price move away from these 2 level and true reversal will happen.

* I am still in a learning phrase, correct me if I am wrong, thank you and Good Day.

POSSIBILITIES The highest H1 open can be: Higher than the highest H4 open Same as the highest H4 open When higher, an area of interest is created. Enter sell short when price drops to highest H4 open. The lowest H1 open can be: Lower than the lowest H4 open Same as the lowest H4 open When lower, an area of interest is created. Enter buy long when price rises to lowest H4 open. Consider this a "breakout trade". The wait may be even longer.
Thanks Too Slow,

Wouldn't the risk increase from the highest high to the highest H4 open (or the lowest low to the lowest H4 open?)

Using H1 HO/LO our risk is lower, but if we use the H4 HO/LO our risk in terms of pips would increase?

Thank you

and for the benefit of the followers of this thread, can you please tell us the right answer or how would you have traded the scenario posted?

we are trying to study the strategy and have read all the rules. we may have not understood, but your guidance can help us. you tell us we are wrong yet you do not make remarks on what was wrong. a simple question about a certain rule can be answered by yes or no. so then we can proceed to trade by that rule and not trading it thinking that it's the proper way as we interpreted it.

i'll go with @stychong question as well, as this confuses me. "can you please elaborate more on "do not wait for the bar to close"?

RISK = POSITION SIZE * STOP LOSS.

Risk should be kept CONSTANT.
The larger the stop loss, the smaller the position size.

There is no "right answer".
One time the result is profit.
The next time, the result is loss.
Trading is not certain.

Sell short at the highest H4 or H1 open.
Buy long at the lowest H4 or H1 open.
"Wrong" is when you do not enter the trade at the highest/lowest open line.

When deploying this method, you DO NOT WAIT FOR THE BAR TO CLOSE to enter the trade.

a simple question about a certain rule can be answered by yes or no.

Only if it is the right question.

Alright, asking the right question is essential. So please answer the questions you posted, as I would assume that they are the correct questions. This will give us more clarity regarding this method.

edit: by the way, the question is not for @TooSlow alone, but to the rest of the traders following this thread. To be honest, im a noob here. i do trade price action, but the beliefs still creeps in. beliefs like price formations, s/r levels.

You don't need 4 charts.
You have the indicator that draws the lines you need.
Strive to keep trading simple.
