cześć fabiog.
Welcome to the thread.
It looks like you understand the method. But just a problem with the entry?
(But you made some cash, so well done.
)So you know rule #2. (No late entry.....not even 1 pip)
So to answer your question on this trade.....
After the new H1 Lowest open, candle A opened in our "area of interest".
Because you were using a Market entry, it would not have been possible to place a trade at that moment, because the ASK price did not = the H1 Lowest Open price at any time during that 5 minute candle..
So we wait......Candle B also opened in the "area of interest", and because price moved up at some point, this would have given you the chance to enter a Market Order when price hit the H1 Lowest open price.
(note. I think that this was the candle you entered the trade from, as this was the only candle before candle E where the ASK price was = to the H1 lowest open price. The different broker prices between you and me may change that)
If you didn't take the candle B trade, you would have to wait until candle E to enter a market order.
With candle C and D.......the ASK price would not have been = to the Lowest H1 open price at any time. So it would not have been possible to place a Market Entry order according to the rules.
I hope that helps my Friend.
Please let me know if that is not clear.
Thankyou
Michael

Hi all For those interested this is an EA to manage SL and TP i include a pdf file that explain how it works hope it help SB {file} {image}
Hi SB.
Thanks for these.
If my memory serves me right, didn't you buy an "EA hidden trade manager". Or was that Sniper.....I can't remember??
Anyway, this is just a repost of another EA trade manager that wannalearn12 posted some time ago, and I did a "how to use" document for it.
These clever little animals are good if you are trying to manage a few live/active trades and also trying to watch for new trades.
Hopefully you will find one of them useful if that is what floats your boat.

Difficulties:- English I think not. You have no problem with English my friend.
Unfortunately, you can only work with the CURRENT H1 open price. Even if the NEW H1 is going to open soon, don't worry about it.
You can maybe wait......but you do not know what is going to happen in the future.
Even if it is only a few minutes away until the NEW H1 candle opens. We must act "in the moment". If there is a valid trade setup, then you should take it. If there is not a valid trade setup, then you do not trade.
Only be concerned with NOW........not what happened 1 hour ago......or what might happen in 1 hour. You cannot tell the future......and the past is .....the past.
Now I am off to bed.
Goodnight all
Michael

There sure are some nasty people in other threads.
I think you like to stir them up, with all their shiny objects and bells an whistles and promises of riches beyond belief..
I think you get a kick out of winding them up. Good on you Mate. GO HARD. Give em heaps.
