Not Forex, but I thought you might find it interesting to see that zero lines occur in every market and in every time frame.
This is the MONTHLY SPOT GOLD chart with a bounce off the zero line worth more than $100/oz!

speaking on behalf of the idiots, I can say that part of the fun of learning to trade is that one has to learn patience. People want instant gratification - if the first few trades dont work...........the whole approach obviously doesnt work and is obviously not worth while learning:)

Now the question is - can the DIB become a HIB and still work?

When it comes to BO trading I trade on a time frame where I have time to see price creeping toward a BO so that:

1: I can see that there is likely to be a burst of momentum soon throwing me into larger profits (BAR Multimeter on my charts)
2. I have time to get in at a better price.

I also watch for poor breakouts and moves to common stop levels followed by price continuing toward the breakout and enter at a better price.
Just because the firework stops popping that doesn't mean that there isn't one more BOOM left in the barrel.

NOTE: Most experienced traders trade before the actual breakout of the extreme and take partial profits on BO.

Remember that when you see an inside bar on the H1 and price went 30, 60, 80+ pips in one direction that most of the time it did not do so by moving in a straight line.
It is not an enter on the breakout or you missed your train kinda deal.
Most of the time you can get a better price and that should be your whole mind set.

Better price to enter<-----LARGE PROFIT----->All you can grab

TRADERS TRICK: A lot of times you can tell if a bar is going to close an inside bar. Look for a trade (based on w/e) before the IB closes in anticipation of the breakout.

Looking at the currencies' movement relative to the market session opens, previous week's close and previous month's close.

Was rereading the Peter Crown material:

Post #23

Trading the "hot hand": Trading the strongest/weakest market is actually really simple. For example, yesterday the Eur/Usd was up more proportionately than the Usd/Chf was down. This was because the Usd/Chf wasn't even a down day. Definitely off its highs but not down relative to last week's close. The Eur/Usd was up, up and away! So that is the market you buy.

I found a more nimble way to adjust the size of my stop loss to the range of the 5m bars.
I thought to my self 'TRO has us trade hour to hour so why am I considering a days worth of stats?'
I then adjusted to an hours worth of stats and compared the results of the 2 methods and came up with the below formula for hour to hour SL adjustment.
I am just throwing this out there for you to consider for your self...

TRO_RANGE_COUNT

M5 RANGE COUNT (12)

Range divided by 4 and then multiplied by 10.
Or Range multiplied by 2.5 :wink:

EURUSD is sitting at 8.23 for a 20.5 pip SL
GBPCHF is sitting at 13.91 for a 34.7 pip SL
GBPUSD is sitting at 10.89 for a 27.2 pip SL

I am going to use the 8.23, 13.91, 10.89, etc as a minimum profit target for the Min. Target Trader's Trick.

EURUSD you wait for price to blow through 8.2 pips profit (it could move to 12, 20, 30, w/e) price backs away from the extreme for a few seconds and you place your order to exit at the extreme.

PS: I don't want it to sound like I don't still consider a days worth of stats. I still want to know what can happen during my trading DAY.
