Hourly Breakouts TRO style

Hello,

I'll post here my trades using part of the idea that TRO disclosed here:

http://kreslik.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=13167

In TRO words (I underlined the part that I use):


"REMEMBER, THIS IS SCALPING, DO NOT BE GREEDY!!


ALWAYS TRADE WITH H1 CANDLE COLOR


TRADING WITH D1 CANDLE COLOR IS SAFER THAN TRADING AGAINST



ONLY ENTER REVERSAL TRADES ON BAR 4 OR MORE OF A RUN

ONLY ENTER BREAK TRADES ON BAR 2 OF A RUN WHEN PRICE IS AT
THE HIGHEST HIGH OR LOWEST LOW OF THE PREVIOUS 3 BARS


ALWAYS CHECK THE NEWS EVERY HOUR BEFORE TRADING "


Cheers

Francisco

3 Taking the trade when price broke above the high of the previous bar.

In this trade I was stopped out at +19.9 pips.

EDIT: this trade doesn't fulfill all conditions for the strategy as the break level is not under the low of the tree previous bars... But it worked! :)

Hello,


TRO was so kind to write this indicator:



But signals 1, 6 (red arrows) and 3, 5 (green arrows) don't respect the restriction:

"...WHEN PRICE IS AT
THE HIGHEST HIGH OR LOWEST LOW OF THE PREVIOUS 3 BARS"

Or I'm missing something?

I'll have to add that part.
