An open, high, low, close, area, or line within an area.

Lines are just lines, the question is where price should be after x period of time in relation to a line that you believe to be important.

I know you asked me to post a chart before, but others had posted better ones.
See if I can help this time. It's still all about crossing or not crossing a line.

starting with mo's 2 lines : line #1 the first CC set crossed and the second stalled but followed -not much of a conflict.. line #2 CC crossed the line but the second failed thus signaling a reversal and the same on your example one CC crosses but the second fails creating conflict.

I managed to bag 35 pips today but left over 200 pips on the table for my trades...I've left probably nearly 1000 pips get away from me in past week. Thinking_Smile

MightyOne, most of my entries are always positioned off of D1, H4, and occasionally H1. I enter based off M5 and M15 with very tight stop that rarely gets hit before running a ways in my direction. I can exit with a decent amount of pips, but I've consistently seen 80+ pips left on the table for almost 60 - 70% of the trades I exit! I've heard you say you let your trades run off of higher time frame for massive gains...any suggestions?

Oh yea, I would set stop to break even and just see what happens, but I HATE getting stopped at BE so I always just exit with a modest amount of pips.

I am biased short for both daily and weekly. Made the first entry but narrowly missed my second short.

I am biased long for both daily and weekly. I got in a buy but never saw another safe opportunity to add.
