Bride of If You Can Draw A Straight Line

I don't think Niko has a rule that gives an entry based on fanned DL/SL. It probably is an observation on his part leading to a lack of entry on account of not having a RET. Niko will probably correct me if I am wrong.

The entry was not activated by the fanned line, but by the fact that after the line was fanned (LL required first) there was a new RET.

 

5 minutes to the open, and looks like we are stuck on a TR between 90 and 98.

 

9:31 DL broken before the open, RET just some minutes after, short at 95.25

 

Oh Niko. What a beauty!

 

Wow, he must be quick as lightning. I have no idea how he got in that high. Even on the 15 sec chart the first RET I see only hits 94.5 at 9:30:45

Edit for EST time

 

The RET happened before the open, but the order was hit at the open. It is sim, so I am not sure if in real life it would have been hit.

 

It would help if everyone would post using NY times.

 

9:46 SL broken, but long entry not activated, short still valid.
9:47 Short is closed, long opened at 89.

 

Assuming the retracement you're referring to was at 0925, it would have been filled at 0929 or 0930, but not thereafter, depending on how far away from the ret you placed your entry stop.
