I have not slept too well since your reply to my chart :) not too surprising, eh. But I am observing these areas closely.

Your entry is brilliant - I recognize it from one of your posts on your thread (reading it yesterday) - my brain still cant see it quickly enough - as usual the more I look the better i should get at it

My idea was here - the blue box is fxcm's zone which is different than yours - I think you also use the Sunday candle?

The fear, when using a limit order for a stop, is that price will just run away and it will be
as if you never placed a stop.

What you have to remember is that traders are going short at the extreme and most of time
price will:

1. tag their order by a few pips and reverse to their stop
2. BO and move back to their entry + a few pips.
3. reverse and get them out at a small profit.

Most of the time you have 'all day' to get a better exit price.

attached is an example of triggering a limit to close & then
moving it down as needed:

just trying to understand any subtleties in your thinking - thanks Alias

This is the whole premise. If price closes over something and
it is likely that breakout traders entered there then that is
an area of interest for me.

The second piece of the puzzle is how does price react at
that area when it comes back.

My last post had nothing to do with your trade, it was just an example showing that limits as stops is not as bad as it seems.

See Alias, this is what F&^%$ me up. How is that a 2+ daily extreme? That is just a daily candle. Im am slowly but surely starting to realize that I am missing the extreme. But it seems to me there are 2 different extremes and I'm not sure what the smart people do.There is the extreme a Do What Matters range, but there is also the extreme of a pointy place? Can you shed any light on the validity of how those come into play?

Well if you combine the last two truth candles and
forget there are any other candles on the chart, you
will have a high and a low. To me they are both
extremes.
