Are these zones accurate using the CS_mod indy?

Price on GJ H4 and ECad H1 the week
opens IN a zone.

If I understand the concept right, zones are measured from actual extreme so yes, they are accurate.
But maybe I misunderstood the whole concept..

Is this the sort of right way to draw the lines?
thank you.

You are looking for the pretty when you should be looking for the ugly [-X

Breakouts define triangles, there exists no triangle without a breakout.

The basic pattern is a hook with a breakout that hooks.

If you draw the triangle incorrectly (without BO) then your channels are already lost (you are setting yourself up to trade false BO).

Now I ponder, was it possible to avoid that loss?
Sure it was. If only I had space of 31 pips I would have gained easy 100 pips.
But wait, then it would not be position at the extreme but 16 pips away from it.

So my question is do you always place your stops/positions exactly at 2d+ extremes, or do you oversize your space sometimes?

Please note the "+" in "2+" day extreme, it means that you want to have your stop AT LEAST that far away.

The idea is to trade from the large chart extremes with the smallest amount of space/risk & then accumulate
size before the large chart makes a significant move that carries you to a %target.

So many people think that because they can profit that it is a good trade when it is long term position & potential that determines whether or not your trades are 'good'.
Anyone can make 20 pips, who can make 1000%? The right thing is most often the narrowest road.

EDIT: #3 should read "...a signal to fade the unlikely event..."

Just to clarify, I meant that your lines were horribly incorrect.
