Deciding what to do. Close or HODL.
MAXIMAL
Deciding when to close is the most important part of trading really. I consider the timeframe I am trading and the probability it will travel x amount of pips based on my edge on that timeframe. An edge on a m5 chart might be good for 5 to 10 pips where a weekly could be 250 to 300 pips.
Thanks for the tips Alias.
I will hold until i see momo to the downside.

If you tested that out then good. If not I would take a look at that exit method. A momo in the opposite direction usually wipes out a lot if not all of your gains.
Actually MO's original vision of zline is taking 1 candle for profit.
If you have a zline stacked with supply/demand you will be able to get more.
How many candles of the same color do you usually see in a row, after the zline? How many pips is the high to low of a typical range of those candles?
