The Cherries are apples and

The apples are Cherries ...

But an apple will be formed on the LTF and the Cehrry on the HTF. so Apple would usually appear in the middle or within the start of the Cheryy bar.

Well just one rule missing ... big box... when box is big it just means, that there are higher chances of a. a fakeout b. a pullback into the box again resulting in hitting a Fixed or Strict or very small stop loss... but if you were to put your SL on the other side of the box .. it would be fine as long as it gives you at least an R or 2R space between TZ1 and the entry ...

Consider this as the Re-Entry of the above Trade Idea using a B Trap Box break

Image

Exit - 6 DS 1

The Trade Idea was to catch the momentum up. But it failed to breakout. It seems that my idea of the breakout up was wrong of premature. I'm done trying this. now i will wait for a clear breakout of the range and the trade.

Update: ofcourse a few minutes later this happens
