SIMPLE. To paraphrase Warren Buffet, If it can't be explained in 3 or 4 sentences then it is complicated and I won't understand it. I understand what you are saying. Question: I can only trade from 0600CT (1100 GMT) to 1100CT (1600GMT) so have you tried this on other than the GBP/JPY & EUR/USD? I don't trade the Comdolls or crosses.

Thank you for the postings, I like the 1H TF.

Edit: On the chart above it would seem hard to stay with this trend without exiting & reentering frequently because the lines were touched. (The broker would be happy by getting paid the spreads.)

Try?

Just look at the chart of any pair.

Either you "see it" or you don't.

From what it seems you're saying, I don't think you need to exit & re-enter each time the next line gets touched... you'd stay in as long as you could stand it

In other words, once you exit a trade, you'd have to consider if the previous and current candles meet the entry rules again before entering... that the current candle's color is opposite of the previous candle's color when touching a line.

According to the rules, If you did exit in that uptrend before 204.25 then you'd have to wait until the next RED candle which was the red spinning top.

You coulda tried a short there too, but otherwise the next candle after that was GREEN when it touched the next line of 204.25 where you'd go long again.

At least I think that's the way it's supposed to work and so far it does for me this way...hard part is when to exit!

Just like fishing, you have to know when they're "biting".

What would you do if the previous candle is a Doji - open & close is the same therefore no color? Would it be considered a "wild" candle? Guess I'll have to watch & see

Doesn't matter.

It's the color of the current candle that matters.
