I just grabbed this shot randomly, had I been playing it, I may have gotten kicked out a lot, but working your way out of a few smaller losses is a lot easier than trying to earn back that 20 pip loss, plus it will keep me out of a lot of trade that "I thought looked good, but weren't" As I get more and more comfortable with this approach, I have been forcing myself to stay in the trades longer. If you are long and you get another good set up when a new candle begins, stay in for a bit

On occasion, typically if the distance from the midpoint to the support or res line is short, I will us the support/res as the stop. The other thing you need to look at is the sometimes the location of the pivot point and mid point are reversed - like in your first and second red box. I would have entered on that and use the res line as a SL or maybe a half way point between the open and the res line

I never touch the break outs.........

sorry on the last red box, i was in.
shorted what turned out to be a green candle then got out on the next red for a few pips as it never hit my SL

Remember all of the forms you see are just artificats. Find another live chart and look at the difference between the two. A 1 second lag may give you different shaped candles but the direction is still the same over all

TRO, I had a look into the Tradestation board, but was not able to find your AutoAvery (BuyZone) Strategy for Tradestation. Would you be willing to share this code with me ?
Thank you.

TRO, do you also have a Tradestation BuyZone Indicator that changes every hour ?

I only have the Tradestation version that is displayed at the open.

I think we may be misunderstanding one another

In your first red box, I would not have gone in one any of those. I would be looking to go long at some point, but not one of those look to open above the pivot point of the previous candle - hit support line......start thinking long

Second red box, I would have bought on the open of the second green

Third red box, I would have bought the first green (this would have been an textbook set up)

Fourth red box - no trade for me there. Would have shorted the on the open of the second red, which looks just outside the box

Next trade - coming off the blue dots - first green may have been an entry that would have stopped out - cant see the pivot point. Second green was an entry for me - would have been a quick one

Razor,

What is the name of the pivot point indicator you are using?

Edward
Eudaimonia (pron.: you-die-moan-e-a) (Greek: εὐδαιμονία) is a classical Greek word commonly translated as 'happiness'. The less subjective "human flourishing" is often preferred as a translation.

Hi TRO,

Since playing around with FXCM's platform, I discovered that I can click and drag my pending order lines to move them right on their charts. I like that..lol

However while playing around with that, something else started to come to mind. So I went back thru your NLA thread on babypips, and did some more googling, and back to that thread again.

What I noticed about the trades all looking the same in your examples was that when price makes a "big" move in one direction out of proportion to it's normal movement, it eventually will reverse (bounce, retrace or whatever you want to call it). I've found some articles on such behaviour and they call it "fading the breakout".

So, when I see price making a big move...say downwards..I've been placing my pending buy order just above price with a bit of a buffer. If price keeps moving down, then I keep moving my pending order to follow it.

Do you have any comments on what I'm doing ...am I still chasing price? or not placing the entry with proper consideration...or...?

Thanks a bunch! :)
It's not always about getting what you want...it's wanting what you've got!

I was doing this for a bit, the problem I ran into was a stop loss issue........where do you put it.....how much draw down do you take. The other issue is that with FXCM is that there is a limit to how close to the price you can place your order
