Hi Shandy,

Yes you look to have got it spot-on.

It IS a simple system, which is why i use it.....the more complicated a system is, the more i need to double-check everything, which inevitably slows me down.

Yes i would enter the trade after this cross as soon as the candle stepped to the 15th.
I don't enter before the step as i have been burned this way before, i wait
until the last minute before the step to make my stop calculations and set up the trade.

One thing that i am curious about is how you said this would have been a break even trade (entering on the 15th).

On my Oanda the 14th Candle closed @ 226.83 and the 15th candle reached a height of 228.07, that's 124 pips.
Admittedly, we may not have caught all of these pips, but say, we only caught half of them, that's still 50 pips.

I wish you well
