HIGHEST OPEN / LOWEST OPEN TRADE

Place a line at the highest H1 open and lowest H1 open for the current day.

Sell short at the highest H1 open after price goes up through it and comes back down.

Buy at the lowest H1 open after price goes down through it and comes back up.


Stop loss is the current daily high or current daily low.
Adjust your position size accordingly.

Take profit by moving stop.
When trade is +5 or more, move stop to BE+1.
When trade is +10 or more, move to to BE+5, or switch to trailing stop.
Optional exit is to exit part of trade position with a profit to bank it, move stop to BE+1 and watch the market.

NOTE:

Do not wait for the bar to close to enter a trade.


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.

ADDED MAY 20, 2016:

Let me see if I can address areas of confusion.

First, read the rules.
Do not add anything to the rules.
Do not subtracted anything from the rules.
Do not modify the rules.
Read the rules, again.

The first line: Place a line at the highest H1 open and lowest H1 open for the current day.
Current day means today according to your broker.
My broker starts a new day at 5PM NY time which means when it is 5PM, I have to move the lines.

The second line: Sell short at the highest H1 open after price goes up through it and comes back down.
Price has to GO UP FIRST.
Price has to GO ABOVE the highest H1 open.
AFTER, price has risen above the highest H1 open, THEN AND ONLY THEN, do you enter a short trade when price falls back down to the highest H1 open.

The third line: Buy at the lowest H1 open after price goes down through it and comes back up.
Price has to GO DOWN FIRST.
Price has to GO BELOW the lowest H1 open.
AFTER, price has dropped below the lowest H1 open, THEN AND ONLY THEN, do you enter a long trade when price rises back up to the lowest H1 open.

The most difficult thing about this method is you have to WAIT.
For many traders, waiting does not come naturally.
Failure to wait, will in most cases, result in losses.
I suggest you literally sit on your hands while you wait to avoid entering a trade too soon.

There is no "trick" to this method.
No gimmicks.

Let me suggest at the end of the trading day you post your marked up charts here.
We can see how many days price closes above the highest H1 open and below the lowest H1 open.
Zero will mean there would not have been a loss when the rules were followed.

Many traders ask how I know when the highest open and lowest open occur during the day because the next bar may make a new high/low.
I do not know.
No one knows.
What we know, from the previous count, is the close is usually below the highest H1 open and above the lowest H1 open.
This is our "edge".
This is what allows us to bank pips on a daily basis.


ADDED MAY 27, 2016:

This may help those who are trigger happy to wait:

M15 bar must open below the lowest H1 open before you can enter.

M15 bar must open above the highest H1 open before you can enter.

Price will be moving in your direction when you enter the trade.

pls. let me know which broker you use and which spreads your broker offers for the pairs you mentioned. thanks.

- I look not only for the best spreads of the Brokers markets

- why? I trade not for BE + 1 Pips I trade not for 5 Pips, I trade for 10 - 30 Pips AFTER spreads

- I trade NOT by a market maker, I will fast close and fast open, I will not spread hunting, or Pending orders hunting
