HOLO - Highest Open / Lowest Open Trade

[LeMercenaire]

A nice play from today on the 500 (S&P).

I didn't get in on this as I simply didn't see it, having played The DAX all day until it came time to set up for The 500-Flip.

A bit of a wider view in case it makes things a little clearer.

I haven't marked any of these up as I can't be a***d with croppin the things till there's no picture left.

Any questions, put on a postcard and send to the usual address

Ok, as I run through these charts, you can now see that we got a beautiful 1-2-3 out of it as well.

Bar #1 makes new High.
Bar #2 tests and fails to make a new High.
Entry as price drops back across Bar #2's Open Level (red circle).

Now. Something to make note of...

That red-circled entry is not quite a new H1 Higher Open, so a true HOLO entry is still based off of the previous set-up off of the H1 Open that is the highest, the one posted above previously.

However, if I was in this 1-2-3 trade and had taken my profit (using whatever mm I'm using) on the first big push down, then I would not hesitate to re-enter as price kicked back all the way to the entry level and down again.

You're taking additional risk and it's not set in the method but it is an option for those so inclined.

Nice example, I’m finding in currencies they test the wick two times before moving away. Today UJ went down twice then up, had a z line trade on Eu did the same thing.

Good catch.

The indices tend to be more direct. Once they decide to go, they really go (except apparently the 500, which is like the kid who always gets left behind on school trips 'coz he's wandered off somewhere).

This was the lead-in...

The HOLO entry - the move I took was the move back down in the centre of the chart. Leaving it longer gave me the backing of the Supply Zones...
