Ok, here we go.
DAX on H4 but as I said, it could be anything, on any time.
So, we have chunky candle 'B' breaking the high set by candle 'A', our ''Pointy Place''.
We draw a line across from that high off candle 'A' and through candle 'B'. That's our Z-Line (as I see Z-Lines).
We wait for price to come back to that level, which it does at candle 'C'. It doesn't quite touch it but I'll come back to that.

Ok, so as I said, price didn't quite touch that Z-Line. Yes, we could have gone in anyway as we see price stalling and on the lower tf - if we were to use that technique - will have given us pa to work with. However, look what happens when we add a fib over that up move.

Now what we can do is fill the area between the Z-Line and the 50-level to give ourselves a Kill-Zone.

I haven't gone down to lower tf as I wanted to keep this as simple as possible and anyway, as I have said, this is fractal and we could just as easily have been running this off the 1-min already.
So, that's how I do things. I like to keep it simple. I have talked before about how others run Z-Lines differently but for me, this makes sense to me and more importantly, it works.
Hope that helps even a little.
My take, fwiw
Above red line bullish, target triple top.
Close below and the first target is purple line. (middle of prev range)
Current up move needs to get on with it or..........

Thanks, it helps.
So, LeM, where would you have entered the trade? At the close of the wicker candle and targeting the 23.6 level?
And Pro mentioned targets.. I'm seeing how i'm trying to keep large targets but it's not working good.
Most of the trades that i take moves in direction of profit, however i don't know exactly where to take profits and a bad entry timing sometimes turns my wins into losses.
If i was targeting closer levels i'd be winning most of my trades, but trading H4 doesn't give me so many entries so i'd like to ride the weekly bar expansion somehow. Still trading for pips and not for money i guess
What do you guys would do here?
I'd have entered Long on Candle C, as price came back out of that blue ''zone''.
I would ride it up as far as I felt it had gas in the tank, then take it (or leave it) from there. I have no set targets.
I very much trade for money, not pips.

Anyway, bear with me.
Mmm sometimes it happens to me too.
I’ll be waiting, thank you!

Another option instead of the fib idea or as well as - Use the area between the z line and the turn just above that didn't reach back to the zero line.
1. Big loss, 2. Small Loss, 3. Big Win, 4. Small Win --- just prevent 1.

The thing with the fib is that it is less discretionary, however yes, I see where you are coming from and it would have been interesting to see if there was micro Demand on the lower time frame that covered that area (my thinking being that there would have been).

Yes I’d have closed the trade at the bell ring too
The long was high and late in the week (the last H4 bar) then that H4 bearish bar was a partial take profits line + bearish setup on the H1 + lower low.. even if it was still above the H4 midpoint.
However I couldn’t guarantee myself a profit in a situation like this.
As you can see I would have traded long as you and I’m happy to know this
Taking profits is my next step, I’d like to trade for money and not for pips too but I can’t have a ‘discretionary’ target as you do.. trust me I’ll lose everything
Thanks for your help guys, really appreciated.

A discretionary target is more useful when scalping, as you are obviously building and adding to a bank quickly. On the H4, then it is less useful or suited. It is like scalping in slow motion.

The idea (MightyOne) is building up size using Space/Eights, aiming for a minimum target to add up and then trying to ride a big one when the size is fat.
Now I don’t know what to do in both the situations.. looking for an opposite line or using ATR.. or shading half of the position at the first target or, maybe, using some of that indi (I don’t know them very well, the first I remember is SAR).

To start target only most recent swing H/L of HTF.
Always aim for others stops.
Someone on here said a looooong time ago.
"If you don't know where the buy/sell stops are resting it's probably yours that's going to get hit FIRST."
Or something to that effect.
