You have a monitor bigger than my home :lol:
Thank you for the link, tomorrow I have to give it a look.

I still can't see fractals.. sometimes I try to draw some channel but I'm never confident with what I'm doing!

Ps. Very nice charts! =D>

Idea....

Been messing around with what I call clone boxes. Idea from a fellow trader. Not sure how he uses them but im trying to apply visual principles to them which would benefit my trading.
Theory is a measurement of the 1st run down, thus forming a box(purple dashes)
Thought is if this measured area is applied to the high of the 2nd area, the move should be at least as large, giving me a potential exit point.
If the 2nd move is larger, thus being the biggest, price should move back up around 50 percent then reach the 2nd move low at a minimum.
I see this happen all over the place.
Documenting this short to see if it works out.

Just stopped out, but now I should have seen previous Clones....
They did not break out so that signals a reversal. (White clones)
I also may have draw the boxes to large on the way down..missed the 1st swing.
Next chart will show the redrawn box clones.

Corrected clone boxes in purple, worked.
Broke out, retraced then dropped to the low of the 2nd clone box as a minimum.

In the mean time...i skipped my usual reversal and got stopped out. But using the Doji zone, momentum broke momentum which would have given me my usual reversal with profit.
