I think that we all need to find our inner child

OK, to clarify on this and the marrying up of TFs.
1. You're looking for an H4 sema to be at the same price as a previous H4 sema?
2. You're then looking for RBs or 50s (I understand both, no worries, thanks) on the m5? OK...what about when you've said gonig with the higher tf rb?
3. You're trading in the direction of the daily?

And these are rules or just in this instance?

Am I being too mechanical about this?

Wow I had that drawn in already...! :shock:

Still too many lines I know (I'm still training to see like this)

Just consider which of those lines would be most helpful in deciding what to do NOW and delete the others.

You can always draw more lines when price moves somewhere else

Yes, you have the right idea news.

Look for cones and then slice through it with a pennant for possible triggers.

No idea about cones etc. What I was referring to was that a green RB overcame a red RB so why isn't that 'go long'. I did actually but managed to get out at b/e. Why are some RBs just ignored?
