Setup of the Chart:
Setup for Trade
Trend Lines:
If the prices displayed have two “2” touches, I will ENTER at the third touch with the confirmation of the lower tf ( reversal pattern )
If there is a “fake out”, make use of the TRENDLINE in the nearest future.
If there is a “REJECTION” from TRENDLINE in the future. Get in at the second candle ( wait for the close of the reject candle )
You should check another TL in Lower TF during TL break.
You should Check Levels During TL Break ( Maybe it will be a Last-kiss )
If you’re in a UP or DOWN trend, you should WAIT for a tiny down or uptrend to break.
Breakout:
I will wait for a retest if a level breaks with a STRONG Candle ( at least 4-5 Candles ) LTF is the way to go.
Confirmation:
IF the price is Break the TL ( Check Upper TF to be sure about it ) Wait for the retest, then ENTER with a lower TF.
Wicks:
Check that the H1-H4 Wicks should be in the center of the trend.
There should not be too many wicks ( kangaroo tail )
When the candle closes in LTF is the entry point
Enter Wait for a big jump and fall
Candle of Momentum:
Determine the candle of momentum and verify the R/S. Enter at the close of a momentum candle, or after the price of the candle has gone up or down.
