Yes, that developed into a valid long trade.
Like clockwork at London Open.
Let's see if it holds, it will retest the low many times. Or reverse.
Do we care ? No. We pull the plug when we need to.

{quote} Lemercenaire, thanks for all your helpful suggestions - much appreciated! Just one clarification please - when you mention "you will be able to scan along the bottom of your screen and immediately be able to see which pairs there is either a trade running on, or something setting up" do you mean setup all the pairs you trade and set full-screen so that the tabs for all the pairs are at the bottom of the screen, and then set all tabs timeframes to 1 hour so you can scan by clicking each tab for a quick check on possible[/highlight]...
Yes Makes things so much easier but you'd be amazed how many don't think of it.

{quote} LM, thanks for these methods. Helps to have some idea of how the big fish operate and how simple they keep things. Would it be fair to say: Daily Return = Breakout of yesterday Hi/Lo and then come back in it's range = Breakout Fakeout Follow Cap = True Breakout outside of yesterday Hi/Lo. Since they have deep pockets and trade big size, trade management, stops, targets etc is obviously not of much relevance here. Thank you as always
Yes and Yes - but a breakout in the opposite direction to the original trend.

They obviously have trend-strength confirmation for Follow-Cap trades - I showed an established trend for ease of example - but believe it or not they are quite happy to use simple (there's that word again) moving average cross-overs for this. They all have their own preferred trade-management methods and I am not going to go into all of that as that's a bit like asking ''...how long is a piece of string?''

{quote} LM, thank you for you sharings! Much appeciated. Too Slow, can you please elaborate on the "break in" vs break out and trading into the Wick zone? Thank you
There are more Range Traders than Breakout Traders - breakouts bring uncertainty, institutions don't like uncertainty, don't like trading range breakouts. They prefer to trade into the reverse ie, set sell orders to follow the price up out of a break, looking to pull price back down.

''According to most estimates, at least fifty percent of Forex chart breakouts are false breaks or fake outs. '' - ForexOp

You can now see from the above statement how it plays to the strengths of not only ''trading into the wick-zone'' but also our beloved HOLO.

Wick zone is a phrase from Another Galaxy. Refers to the wicks on a bar (hi/cl-op and cl/op-lo).
