so it didnt fill the wick , and would have hit sl if you just walked away , but i think only a fool would not have closed , had loads of time to get out in profit and the majority of the wick was filled , and the 15m was a great clue

Given that this strategy can be completely objectified (i.e., rigid rules can be applied to it) and I had some time, I created a multi-instrument/multi-timeframe dashboard for it, just for fun. Three parameters are required to fulfill the conditions necessary for the signal to be generated, and these are ATR-based (naturally, the ATR of the given TF): 1./ "Previous candle's minimal ATR-percent": the minimum size of the previous candle. 2./ "Previous...

Where no one lasts more than 2 weeks, so good luck to all, I'm back to observation mode!
It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

As I understand it (check out my previous post): {image}
Just re-read the first post and basically any candle could qualify as absolutely no filter is provided apart from Doji candle to be avoided.
How many pairs could anyone possibly monitor on a 15-minute chart, and yet he has provided "proof" 6.5% gains.
Let's wait and see how it goes, I'm all for winners!

{quote} Thanks, I understand the basic concept, no problem, but you are thankfully providing WAY more context than the OP ever has.

Of course, the above three parameters may need to be expanded with additional ones. For example, the question is whether we should take this constellation as a signal (here, the price immediately went up and only then came down—the above three criteria are now met, but the wick had already saturated beforehand).
Update:
I have solved this too: it is possible to limit the extent of the overshoot (i.e., the maximum permissible difference between the closing price of the previous candle and the high (bullish signal) or low (bearish signal) price of the current candle).
{quote} Wow, I'm surprised that you were able to understand the method. Those charts with 2 candles the same color and no open or close marked on them were totally confusing and I refrained from commenting.
