Hi Bettina, I was watching both of those. First I filtered as couldn't count ABC from that one. Second one was showing diverged W5 already and filtered that also. Second one turned to a nice impulse wave. Happy you took it! Second one was nearly 60 pips move on princess ;)

Hi Tomi, thanks. You're right with that ABC. It was also w5 of that formerly existing w5. For the second one there was a small ZL cross after the w5. I once learnt that after that divergence is "gone".
I have seen EJ also and was tempted, but left brain said . No, stick to only one, not two trades at the same time.

Actually I tend to follow this practice. For some reason I didn't noticed that. Stupid brains.

Also there was not that good setup available on EJ. I prefer also to pick one and take the trade only on one pair if there is a correlation. Good trade and decisions you have there.

Little more on EU.
I'm happy about the entry. would never have taken that one before. Exit by mistake. My TP was above 38% retracement on M5.

New name BDC.
Sorry for that !

I was wondering if you could decode your indicator based on this concept.
Divide the candle into 3 parts and see if the close is in the lowest or highest part of the candle. A good BDC is one that finishes as 1-1 or 3-3.
a Bullish DC could be a 1-1 (open in the 1/3 with close also in the upper 1/3 of the candle) it could also be a 3-1 (open in 3 but close in 1/3 of the candle)
a Bearish vice versa. see pic attached

thanks for your time.

Hi Immy,

no problem, I love to do that.

But I have to understand exactly, what you would like.
1 ) Do you want to see only the good ones : 1-1 for bullish and 3-3 for bearish ?
or
2 ) Do you want to see 1-1 and 3-3 and 1-3 and 3-1, but not those in the middle ( at the moment it's only : close in the upper respective lower half and of course the comparison with the previous candle)
or
3 ) As 2) but 1-1/3-3 one colour and 1-3/3-1 in another colour ?


What's the rest of the text on the very right side of your slide ?

Here you are for solution 1) 1-1 and 3-3. Hope it works.

The colours ( colourtab ) :
0 colour of the wicks
1 irrelevant
2 colour of your bear bodies
3 colour of your bull bodies

2) or 3 ) will need some minutes more ;) .

Good night
Bettina

Hi Immy,

here's a new one with some more luxory, but please read my last post also :

1 ) I have added 3-1 and 1-3 BDCs, but you can switch them off and keep only the 1-1 and 3-3
2 ) you can switch off the whole indicator without removing it
