Quite right. Be able to read price action would definitely give you more rewarding trades.

Hi Tro...
I'm sure you know of the Open Range therory, whereby when a market first opens it can set the perimeters in the first hour or so for the rest of the day. I have followed this in other forums and its very simple and seems to be very successful. Have you coded anything that would mask off that time frame with the highs and lows and then help with the breakout? As always let me also just say thanks for all your help and your generosity. Lisa

Hello,

In my limited experience with this system i'll give you my opinion.
Provided that you entered in the first cross of the 133.25 level, I'd say that you could close the trade with a maximum profit of 5 to 8 pips in the lower wick of the candle.
If you didn't, you certainly should close when price went against you to avoid a winner become a loser.
This is scalping.

Cheers

Francisco

Hi lukx,

The candle with the semafor 3 showed reversal with strength (long lower wick and a, despite a bit small, green body). The next bear candle didn't show much strength either. Long would be a high probability trade.

Also what's your SL?

monalisa, I took it because usually sema 3 is always pushed down and down. Anyway I know I'm the one doing something wrong :). It's just hard to figure out what it is when you lost over 3000$ in a year of bad forex trading.
