2 candles or more, as News mentionned ealier...

In fact, we must wait for the end of the move to draw the line?

I think...

Because, there isn't a close above that line by a red candle!!!!
You would have to drop time frames to see that happen....
This is our bias time frame...it doesn't happen here....
Again....it has been said..."Price can fool you on one time frame some of the time but not on all of the time frames."

Come on guys.....lol

If we are drawing bullish zlines on the H1, why wouldn't we draw it like this:

I think I may have missed the proper definition of a zline. I thought it was just red candle closes and green candle closes Above red candle's open.

Are you saying that it takes at least 3 candles to form?

Speaking of MO, a few days ago you wrote to someone that you were going to see if you could find a particular chart from MO (maybe from 2009?) that turned the light on for you.

Did you ever get a chance to find that pic?

Thanks, dude, you are definitely helping!!

Kewl!!!

Yes, there is GOBS of info scattered all over the place here. I first came here in 2010 after an "internship" (read got my ass handed to me!!) over at forex factory. Then I just quit for a couple of years and when I came back I've been trying to figure out the final outcome of what the last couple of years have produced.

It's hard to piece together, that's for sure.

I'm just glad that some of the old gang is still around.

Thanks for searching for it!!!!!

Now, do you have MO's archives in correct order? :lol:

Here is the zline pic from the usd/cad trades. You asked about the level I used to determine that line.
