{quote} Hahahahahahahahahahahaha - indicator time-differences are the bane of my life TF is as marked - m15 This was printed at the open of the 12:00 Noon m15 candle.

looks like it's 05:00 UK time to me

So sounds like there are conflicting Counter setups betwen Lem and Billytt. I just want to clear the air, bc once again this seems to be the piece to the puzzle. In regards to DeadZone mostly: Counter should be same or double original entry lot size? If same why? If double why? Counters should close on next trigger if not when? TP is 5pips or Midline or High/Low Body of Trigger Candle? If SL is placed should it be where Wick Zones are in extremes? Trying to really get the picture here to demo.
No, there are no conflicts. The techniques are the same. What you have to remember though, is that I use Wick-Zone entry methods on my breaks (H4 included) and Billy does not. This gives me different entries, hence different counters.

''Counter should be same or double original entry lot size? If same why? If double why?''
Same. You're holding the bad trade in limbo. Next trigger is double (if you want - or keep it the same, your call).

''Counters should close on next trigger if not when?''
This is where there is variation - even among my own trades. This is because if I am looking to run WZ, then this will effect where the trigger lines will be as well as the mid-line.
I don't use the opposite end of a huge candle but may do on a small one - see what I mean. So sorry, on this one, you're going to have to suck-it-and-see and come up with conditions that suit your style and comfort-zone.

I have also used fib-lines to use as counter-entries. It's evolution at play here.

The Dead Zone can vary in how I play it from day-to-day, because some days I can be arsed and some days I can't. Some days I'm in a mood to be aggressive, some days conservative. If the move I'm looking at has other information which leads me to believe I have a strong hand (S+D, BRN, Top of Daily Range etc), then I will be more inclined to hammer it for more.

There is a denizen of The Other Galaxy who says that (and I'm paraphrasing), ''...if you are unwilling to add to your position on a move, then you should close that position''. There's a lot of truth to that.

The base rules stay the same, though. It's at its heart just WZ method cw Trade-A-Line.

'' TP is 5pips''
Tp - for me, as Billy, is 5%. 5 pips is equally valid if that's more suitable.

Hi Faatkumo and welcome, Lem and i trade different method but they are still breakout.
As for counter, we have the same aim but use different entries. We have made it our own.

Mmmmmm...not always quite that easy. Spreads going to ten times their usual size...not getting filled...getting all in but not all out. The list is a long one.

Unless you get a bad fill.
You could get filled past your TP.
