Bettleboxs Breakdown of Zlines and MoMos

Its time i knuckle down and really get grips with this zline. I am going to start from basics and cover one aspect of this method step by step until i feel i really understand and can see the setups on chart with out worrying if i got it right or wrong.

All these charts done in hindsight. im just looking at H4 setups for first stage leading into 1h and 15min setup based on H4 time frame.

I think i got the number "1" entry wrong. But 2 and 3 look valid with green circles marking the candle i would of been looking to go long on smaller frames.

Have you ever seen dragon put those 0-50-100 fibs on extremes?

Just use blubb MightZones indicator, set up all your charts with it on the H4 time frame, get SMS alerts sent to your phone/email when price gets to a MZ, then look for a momo entry on 15 min time frame.

That's exactly what I use. Seems as though that's about what you are trying to do...maybe doing the above will simplify things a bit.

Hi

I thought dragon was talking about splitting the momo bar half and looking for wicks around the 50% to 0% mark of the momo.

i must of miss understood. Thought i understood.

Can you explain why its wrong what i have done or give me example of correct way?

Thanks

a quote from dragon33:- The first blue candle gives you a hint of a possible change but you need to see first some things befor that candle will hold! Let that candle close and see what happen next. Put a line at the 50% area and if price hit that line and run away in the direction you want be ready to enter at body close or high!!! You will make pips immediately. Put your SL at the bottom of the candle with the drawings on!!! If the SL is bigger then 20 take it at your own risk. This was 18 pips. Lets tune the SL.


My comment:
what is difference to me using fibs to mark 50% of the 4 hr momo candle and dragon manually marking 50%?

or have i picked none momo bars is that problem?

i am confused.

Seen this momo bar. I have marked 50% of it range looking for wicked candles going short at moment. I will keep an eye on it see how it forms.

I think bredin is suggesting you place the 50% line, based on the memo candles body not the extremes.

The dragon33 doc posted shows the candles body used to set the 50% line and the candles extreme used for entry.

I found drawing zlines by hand a better learning tool than using an indi. Forces you to watch the PA rather than look at what an indi has drawn.

ok so shadows/wicks of the candlestick, use of the word "extremes" threw me.

thanks
