its just the most recent move thats greater than 81 pips, look at my last two h4 pics. its like the last 3 h4 bars were greater than 81, i dont include the long h4 bar before it because the latest bars were the smallest most recent move that is ...

The MotherFibber

can u see in the above trade, i keep moving and readjusting to the smallest h4 move that is >81 pips.

The MotherFibber

get your motherfibbin pips... — finally got my motherfibbin pips, hopefully these pics will clear up most of the confusion.

The MotherFibber

it was the shortest move that was at least 81.

The MotherFibber

next one....

The MotherFibber

hmmmm, very interesting!

The MotherFibber

yep, stopped out at breakeven due to rule 7.

The MotherFibber

look what we see when we plot pivots, our SL landed just below a pivot. :nerd:

The MotherFibber

the buy order triggered. — the buy order triggered. adjusted SL to 29ish (27 +2 pips). now heres the thing that $ux, i wanna go to $leep, but i need to watch it in order to follow rule 7.

The MotherFibber

modified SL to 27ish pips...

The MotherFibber

right now all the criterion are met, so we set a pending order... 15 TP 23ish SL

The MotherFibber

in post #3 of this thread, i actually took that trade.

The MotherFibber

no, i don't trade m15 or m5 bars. what i'm saying is that in order to gain an accurate representation of how motherfibber worked or didn't work in the past, we need to drill down to the smaller timeframes to see what happenned in finer resolution. i ...

The MotherFibber

i think the problem is that its not easy to see in history without going to m5, where my order wouldv triggered, before or after the close of the m30 bar. @ billbss - you may be right about the above moves, however you cannot simply look back at ...

The MotherFibber

i marked the open and close of the m30 with horizontal gold lines, then drilling down to m15 or m5, we can see,i'm pretty sure this wouldv triggered a successful trade. the m30 candle opened, it went up 19 pips, at this point i wouldve set a pending ...

The MotherFibber

well lets say we are 15 mins into a 30 min candle. candle opened, moved down or up 10 pips, and retraced 5 to the center of the candle. now we have a high/low of an unfinished candle. a pending order can theoretically make the market prove that its ...

The MotherFibber

i marked two potentials in my h4 pic. I think you are correct about the 1st move i marked.- "no trade because SL would have been excessive." The second move looks like it wouldv worked, and you need to move down to smaller timeframes to see where it ...

The MotherFibber

if i remember correctly, when i pulled up the chart, price wouldv needed to move around 8 or 10 pips up to trigger it. "so is it not better to wait for the m30 candle to close first ? before setting the pending order...." i don't think so. maybe ...

The MotherFibber

ok. got it.

The MotherFibber

thats an M1 chart. I can't see or understand what you are talking about. please show me on M30.
