Interesting...but if you look at entry 2;
There would be a reason to go long, but why that candle and not the candle before...or the one before that?
Is it because that spot would coincide with a pattern or so?
It is, but it's not. That's why it's a ghost. There are those who can see ghosts but 99.99% of the people can't see them. It's a different realm lolz
Just like; "Wick in direction of loss" MightyOne
Well, no. Not exactly.
In some cases it is the same because wick in direction of loss is price coming to a zone and then trade in the direction of profit and then continue with body in direction of profit. However, there are also cases where the trigger is going against all of them. Check this post for case in point:
post154314#p154314Imagine you're seeing Pic #2, 3 and 4 on 1 min tf where there is just too much zone to the left of the chart.
If that's the case, you don't know which zone to rely on. Of course, you can go with bigger tf to get a more valid zone but I'm not doing tf switching to attempt this. It's purely based on 1 tf for analysis, trigger discovery and for entry.

Trigger is the red bar before the arrow, enter at the open of the next bar (the green) and did you see how far the price shoot up after that?
That chart is on M1, there's no way you can go down to seconds tf because it's not a viable option to trade due to fees and other things. If you go to a bigger tf you will find a more solid zone forming from that box but how will you enter the trade? At touch? At breakout of the box? At pullback? At the return after the price make a huge move up? Normally, people would enter if they see a red bullish pinbar or an inside bar or engulfing candle but that trigger is a big bearish candle and the pattern on M1 is not even finished forming. And it's not even the low of the day and it's still a handful of pips away from the low of the Asian session. That SL is only 0.6 pips wide, a sub pip trade.
The ghost entry is an entry method but it's also a way to observe the market.
So in a way it's a yes and a no.
Then again, the same chart will have different meanings depending on the eyes of the beholder so if you say yes, then it's a yes for you and that's the beauty of trading.
