Price cannot rise on wicks, neither can it fall without closing lower than something.

Does that mean that every close over is bullish? No, it just means that a close over is the min. req. for a bullish expansion.

I use price levels ( "where did she come from, where did she go?" ) as triggers and use 1 or 2 lines on either side as a stop loss with a min
profit target of even money (basically a SSG or BZ trade).
The only time that I really think about making a lot of pips is after I have accumulated a large position size.

I'll use: BZ, SSG, Flip-flops (Rat trade), 1-2-3, &/or Wick-zone with EIGHTS position sizing and money management.

A 'line' is simply 38.2% of the H1 ATR of the last 48 hours multiplied by 2 (size / 2) for each larger chart eg:
H1 48 ATR = 13.1 pips
H1: 5 pips = $10
H4:10 pips = $10
D1: 20 pips = $10


etc

MO, is the price level you mentioned from a basing level to a basing level (i.e. price retests a level)
like this chart you posted earlier?

edit words (above the chart) to clarify my question

It is obvious if you do not overthink it: where did price come from, where did it go, & where did it return to?

Sometimes you can see a repeating pattern running through a chart like a vein in a leaf...trade what you see.

I've only recently started posting, but I am around each evening to check for new posts. When I read your query, I decided to reply so that I could thank you for all of the questions that you have posted to DojiRock and MO as well as charts that you have shared detailing your own learning. All of it has been immensely helpful to me in trying to get my head around this material. I wish you the best on your journey.
