Michal and Avery, your opinion on this is needed.
Open the attached image. The white line is the hourly open at 10 o clock EST. I bought at open + 5ticks and made a decent scalp in a few minutes. Notice that around 10:23 the price reverts back to the hourly open. Should I have placed a buy order at open + 5ticks even at 10:23. Is going after even the 2nd time in an hour statistically valid? Or is the buyzone type of trade only for the first breakout. Thanks.

You can trade the session open BUY ZONE until the session is closed.

I noticed fri when I started trading the buy zone I'd stop out around minus 4-5 pips the first two trades. This happened twice. The third try would make a run. I can handle dropping 8-10 pips if I'm able to recoup 15-20. On the 2nd BZ hour I took a second position as it started to build momentum. That made the pips rack up quick.
I'm thinking just keep taking your mini losses and eventually you'll get in on the big run of the H1 candle's average range.
You'll get it all back and much much more.
I could make a career out of this if I wasn't so.........??

Let the market choose a direction.

Then hop on.
