Phew, this took a lot more brain power than I originally expected. For some reason, I couldn't use MO's version only because I like to see actual numbers (i.e., entry price, current price, average price, and etc.). But, obviously, this is based entirely on MO's concepts. I hope this is useful to someone. This is probably both good and bad and probably not what you think it is. ;)

Could you either add a comment for some of your column headings or post a reply with a description of what that column means/is used for?

Thanks for sharing

Very true that is probably a better place for the line in the sand. I was just
going by MightyOne's post about 40% retrace. I think I will change it thou. :)

H4 closed below my line in the sand. Need to take another look maybe I am
doing something wrong. I am preserving my account at least.

Ok it looks like you scan the chart for the biggest candles on the chart and use the average range to calculate the Box. Correct? (+1/3)

What i dont understand is where comes this 1/3 from?
how do i calculate the 1/3?
No matter where life takes you, you will always check the market and always want to continue being a part of it. It's like that first true love, it will always be there no matter what the distance, no matter whether they are alive or dead.

You don't "calculate" 1/3, you attempt to make sure there is space to work with even if you are wrong; you don't want to drop from 7 lots to 4 just because you have so little space left that a 75% expansion is required.

Looks to me like its ensuring that a single candle cant wipe out your position, giving time to reassess and adjust lots.
