I have been looking at constant range bars (7 pip setting) over the last few days. Very interesting and will continue to consider, at the moment I've ditched 1 min chart in my set up for 7RB.

We had a high vol shooting star on 15 min, a push down and another high vol push up. That never followed through.

1st sell the lh at 5623, 2nd sell 5584 nice lh below the RN. This was 3rd sell of the day, exit target the 50 psych level.

All in all a great morning for system.

Had 2 days of no trades and got a little lazy posting. Some (not all) trades from Y and today.

Didn't trade Y.


GU
We did not take 30 min 2b buy set up as we wanted to stay with trend. 15 min had a high vol hammer.

I don't know how much this is stretching the rules.

5 min chart, vol is falling off on the move up to 25 psych level. In the big picture we're still on a lh, however we are running above the last 5 min lh with a few pips. FH half hour reversal time.

We took the trade FH reversal, low vol move up against the trend, psych level break failed, supp/res level obvious, a 2b possible set up on the last high 8 candles earlier (5 min chart).

Exit when break below RN hesitated and my auto +20 bank indi (Mrs V) was going crazy, +23.

I wasn't in front of computer for this one.

EJ almost gets to 106, and bounces some 70 pips. Then it falls to 25 level and the bounces get smaller and smaller. Smaller bounces from a level is a high prob signal that the level will fail.

When the right set up occurs, 1hr down, 15 min down, 5 min lh with little/low lower wick on set up candle there's a good chance its going to break through.

If you got in earlier bounces and got out keep going if bounces are smaller. Its amazing how often these set ups occur and work out.

We sold the 2b set up right at the top but as is usually the case got out at BE when we hit +8/9 a couple of times and it seemed like it just didn't want to go.

Entered a little later again. This was against pos close 15 min candles but 15 min had upper wick and the vol in move up on 5 min clearly falling away. The res area is clearly shown on 5 min at the 5565 W pivot. The 7RB entry was there but showing the 5 min as for us it just seemed to show the res area clearer. Exit at psych level +23.

We then had a later re-entry 7RB lh below psych level exited for small loss when it never followed through.
