I believe the point of the options is to be able to trade without a
stoploss. That way you can't be stopped and then price will run
in your direction. Most you lose is the price of the option.

I feel the real catch to this is the time factor.

That's why I trade stock options instead of stocks. Even if you have a GTC stoploss order in place, you could wake up one morning and find the stock's price has gapped way past it. Now your loss is greater than you'd planned.

With options, you can construct a position where your max loss is exactly limited without the price gap concern. A simple long option position's max loss is the net debit.

The study of momentum via closed candles lets you know how long it should take price to move your way.

For every hour of momentum you should get two hours of price movement.

When the candle hugging momentum closes into the momentum candle's real body then the momentum is reduced by the close of the hugging candle.
Likewise, when the hugging candle extends further after momentum, the momentum is increased by the close of the hugging candle.

If the momentum is increased by 1 candle then you get 4 hours of price movement.

Hindsights always 20/20.
BUT,

The momo reduced bar looks like increasing momo coming off the bottom.
Big wick down and with the higher volume BUYERS took control

The" momo remains" bar is a low vol. test......culminating in the doji test 2 bars later. (no supply).
Price can only continue up.......with momo.

Notice the topping pattern (bearish engulfing down bar). The high of that "zeroed" out traders to the left on high volume......watch out!!!!!

Call it what you will.................
Zeroed out
Bottom of bucket
support/resistance bounce
Hey, what about the PIRATES HOOK!!!!!!!!!!!???
LOL

Traders note:
I personally don't like volume on anything over an h1 chart because gap time messes with it.

Trade at your own risk.
hehehe

The pirates hook?
Yeah, I'm a pirates hook trader.

I personally do not use volume in Forex despite evidence that stopping volume may be of some value.

I look for a story and trade away from a pivot price.

I am going long some where above this line or not at all
I am going short some where below this line or not at all

I don't enter very often on retracements as I do price trading beyond a momentum bar on a DWM.

The best price of a fast move is better than the best price of a slow move.

I'm thinking this is pretty important...whenever you write something I sit up & pay attention :)
I'm thinking I understand most of what you just wrote, just a few things unsure of in pic so I copied your pic & wrote some questions on there, I want to make sure I fully understand this.
Unsure of how you got the bottom of the dotted line box & what does the X's mean? or have I missed that elsewhere?
I then put up some examples of mine on same chart are these correct MO.
Also did you say you had an ebook MO, if so I would, would it be possible to get a copy? email at xxxfx.jedixxx@gmail.com. thanks heaps,
Regards ***FX-JEDI***
