I trade now the OPEN of a MOMO (Open +3 pips, dont want to miss the trade=). +25 pips on GU limit order (GU H1 pic), was sleeping, PA is not much of a problem if a Zline is properly identified. The BUY trade was not taken, but could have been, at MOMO open + 3 pips 8 profitable trades in a row. never had this. Will be going live with this very soon
But I noticed es/pip takes his pips at OPEN of a MOMO bar... (and I should know that if I was reading the NLA thread more attentively).
i TEND to do that but i am still aware of the high/low area
a zl is anywhere there is held profit
so traders are executing trades of the highs and lows as well as off the open closes.
just mark them where you feel comfortable, you obviously understand what you are looking at
thats the POINT =]
I was looking ONLY at High/lows (the breakout of Highs/Lows)
But now im also looking OPENs.
Keep learning.

Trading is like cycling, first you need to learn how.
Two options: you either lose or win!

yep
on the m15 m 30 it showed it clearer
and then the sell off back into the h1 support and then back up again
its like playing ping pong
only it pays very well
