@SwingMan -- interesting, thank you. It looks like you trade D1 exclusively. Is that because D1 bars are more "reliable"? On one hand @George's methodology focuses on M1, but then you have similar success (with a simpler strategy) on D1. I guess ...

@Nih98 -- yes, definitely deja vu. The indicators look almost identical. I need to do some Googling on Transient Zones. If anyone is interested, here is a link to a Transient Zones thread at FF: url When you have a chance, could you post a screen ...

@aaven -- yes. Do you see the dashed green line? That is the price at which I opened a SELL position. You can see a dashed red line above (my 20 pip SL) and the red line below (my 10 pip TP). Please don't forget I'm a rookie !! This is a live micro ...

@pet3250 -- I think the MM has shown its hand. In the chart I posted above you see the bullish liquidity gaps forming as the MM stretches upward to touch a target level (which you can no longer see because it got removed). It's at this point we ...

image I'm seeing patterns like this all the time now. This one is NZDUSD-M30 with about 40 pips at stake. Since the market is "fractal" in nature, then I'm wondering whether it really makes any difference which time frame you trade. I mean, if you ...

@aaven -- thanks. Since I don't want to go down the path of creating an EA here, then I would be disinclined to pursue a methodology that required hedging to perform well. So -- no sleep will be lost.

@andys0506 -- 99 out of 100 is pretty darn good. I don't mind getting wiped out from time-to-time. I'm not into hedging -- it just requires too much thinking. So, yes, with a large stop loss that allows your trade to ride-out bumps along the way, ...

@rosalieone -- okay, let's say a wick doesn't close an LG. Then what? Knowing what we know now, choose some LG and using a screen shot show how you would trade it with / without using wicks. If we don't use wicks then it means the LG will remain ...

@rosalieone -- interesting, thanks. Okay -- I think I can see what you're saying. But how would that affect my trading? Let's say that '2' is the scout and '3' is where the job is finished. I would have opened a BUY trade at the bottom of the red ...

Hello @aaven -- no problem, you're not irking me with that request. I'll answer, but a bit of context first. I was one of the early "naysayers" on @George's thread. But after I saw @RickM and @bluesteele had "engaged" with @George then I asked if he ...

@Ronniefx -- interesting -- thanks. @rosalieone will be glad to hear that...

@Robot Trader -- yes, many mixed messages. Well -- actually, we do -- as of @RickM's post a few hours ago. The target levels created by TOPS and BOTTOMS. Until his post I didn't understand what the relationship between micro-gaps and target levels ...

(binned per thread starter’s request) MM (Money Maker) Detective

@rosalieone -- I'm not sure what target you are referring to. Could you indicate it on your screen shot? Also, how does a weekly chart help in trading micro-gaps on M1. The micro-gaps have a very short life-span -- e.g. < 30 bars. As @RickM ...

Hey @Robot Trader -- since you've volunteered, you have now been designated the keeper of the rules Seriously -- good questions. I'm in the same boat as you. I don't have any answers. I've been digesting @RickM's response for about 3 hours ...

@Pip-Miner -- I responded to your PM a short time ago. The path you're taking is great -- that is how I would like to proceed. As I mentioned above, my involvement with automation would stop at an indicator that computed potential (candidate) ...

@AltosTrader -- yes, could be interesting. And also a lot of work to develop and not so obvious how to display all the lines. To be honest, unless it could be shown to be advantageous, I wouldn't be the one to develop such an indicator. It's ...

(binned per thread starter’s request) MM (Money Maker) Detective

@Robot Trader -- yes, of course, something like that would be good. And there could be money management code galore. What you describe I would consider to be more like a filter -- as opposed to part of a signal. Filters are easy to implement. By ...

Hello @profitfarmer -- thanks for your post. Your posts would never be considered an intrusion. Your insight is always welcome. With regards to trading M1 -- yes, I get it. Candles with a 2.2 pip body are not good candidates. From time-to-time a ...

By "automating" I was referring to an indicator that displays potential signals. As I've mentioned before -- I won't be the guy to develop and share an EA. It draws a totally different crowd. Rather than collectively solving a problem, like we've ...

Look at the red rectangles. Do you see how the MM reaches for target levels and touches them very precisely? And as the MM stretches for those target levels you can see a trail of liquidity gaps that were created while stretching. @RickM describes ...
