Thanks Just about to close AUS200, TDI is now a hook and 8H is crossed. 5 nice red candles. image I may go long soon based on other markets and if that hook crosses up on blue close >5MA. Equities always have long bias so I'm always keener to go ...

I like the 12H best because it takes into account consecutive days/news in both hemispheres. In the old days it had to be done on SICOM and deal with opening gaps.

If i were to trade the 4H for 20 pips I'd have a fairly high success rate maybe >80%, just not enough data for downside yet. Has anyone done this type of research? Use 20 or similar pips (predetermined number) for 1st TP? image
