    Yes Maz maybe I need my own Thread on this … I piggybacked onto Stantons / this Thread as it is same / similar basis.

    I have started my own Thread for Algo based on this structure in the past a few times, but I am not good a coding and was reliant on others and the Threads died.

    See attached all 3 Trades are losing now and price is edging below  23.6% retracement … may go on to a 50 or 61.8% then bang stop losses triggered and another 3 losers.

    Doubly annoying thing is there is a stop loss for one of the trades sitting just above the 61.8% retrace so the trade will exit and then almost certainly go back up again after hitting the 61.8 zone a few times.

    And this after 2 obvious ranges followed by breakouts  … see attached.

    I may be in luck and it will be scenario attached … with the different 0% and 100% levels … looks like it may due to support / 2 price rejections at 61.8%

    Looks like attached may be the 61.8 level it is respecting on the 15 min Chart … higher TF Elliott Waves override lower TF waves.

    I also did a manual trade Long to get back the loss on the Algo which was stopped out earlier this afternoon.

    Hi Grahal

    I am facing similar problems with some of my other strategies.

    I am looking to check the length of the bar to see if its greater than 20 points. This signifies there is a big break out and possible a follow on.

    So if the bar is above 20 points in length I dont go in on next bar then wait 2 or 3 bars later to enter.

    how does that sound.

    Hi Stanton

    Let me know how it works?

    Alternative thoughts … wait up to 10 bars all in same direction of and including the ‘> 20 point bar’ and including any bars before the ‘> 20 point bar’ … that way the short term trend should be ready for a retrace??

    Hi Stanton,

    I’ve put together an Engulfing strategy on EURUSD 4H (Long only). It’s not based on yours but maybe it can help you to bring some new ideas.

    Hi Victor

    Thanks for this.

    I see that it is only looking for the engulfing setup and time in order to enter the trade.
    What I am looking for is one more confluence to ensure a higher probability of a reversal.
    Ie Trend lines or Pivot points.

    Hi Stanton,

    Yes I saw that you tried to find an additional criteria and I’ve tried too but so far without success. I’ll let you know if I find something.
