Place BB 50/2 for settings. Then mark off any possible SD. Then look for retracements further then 50% and look for any price extensions. See if you have any of these 3 that overlap. If so, then these will be on our watchlist. we then will look for any other confluence and we will see if price is outside the BB when it gets there. If needed, you can drop to the 1hr to refine the zone.
Also. Im going to through up the crash zone indy if i still have it. If price makes it to one of the zones on a tues or wed, there should be a good chance we can hold the trade for a few days or until the opposite of the crash zone.
I've always been interested in the Crash Zone but had no clue as to how to actually use it, so this will be one for me to watch! Cheers.
Crash zone is super easy. To me its just a weekly ATR indy. So it gives you a clue how far price could move this week. Then there was a topic of discussion that i believe Bredin did, in which he showed that there is a 90% chance that price will always make the opposite extreme first, then move to the other pivot. That really didnt make sense. But pretty much, price should set a weekly pivot, then cross the open and set the opposite next. MO had also mentioned this concept when talking about trading yearly extremes. I beleive he said price has a habit of setting one extreme around March give or take a month and then setting the opposite extreme around sept give or take a month. I still trade using this concept. You can easily load 30 pairs and then just start looking for a setup that just screams out at you. I will post a few that i have taken a little later.
So lets use GbpChf. Im bearish on it. It just triggered my short entry. Now if my SL is beyond a pivot, I could try to hold for the whole week. So normally if you can get in with a 30 or 40 pip stop and then target a 200 to 300 pip move, it offers a nice little RR. Hopefully that kinda made some sense.

I remember Pippy and I looking at the Opposite Extreme First concept at one time, I think using Bredin's thoughts as a roadmap. We kinda' got lost, lol.
It was like there was a kernel of something there but not truly fully formed.
