    did the easy part.....understand second entries and the other part is done too.
    the reward is huge compared to the risk and if the risk- stop- is hit it sets up a trade in the opposite direction.... it is dream come true for any trader. tight stop-small risk-with huge reward

    It's easy to put some lines on a chart after the fact, everyone can do that, even my 3 year old.

    It’s a good strategy. Nothing works in trading 100%. Market changes all the time, even within each day. Traders have to constantly assess the situation and adapt accordingly. That’s the hard part.

    Of course those 2 charts are "tradable"!

    But IMO, those charts, and therefore analysis and probabilities are limited and dis-advantaged.
    The charts utilize 1 of 5 available variables, plus time. That's at minimum, an 80% data deficiency. There is at least one derivation that can be obtained through time and movement of price. NB: price as a value is not a variable... the exact(precisely) same chart could occur at any equivalent range of pricing.

    The five (readily available) variables are, Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume, plus Time.

    Elsewhere you speak of using Markov as basis for your test data...
    the problem with Markov, as far as I am concerned, it does not account/consider history; As they say, memoryless.

    How YOU interpret is a choice.

    nothing in life works 100% and when it does not, make sure you survive that loss and no one has the responsibility to give you a funeral.

    the only thing that matters is small losses at extremes of trends so that it is clear if your long trade loses then the short side will give you more than you lose on the last trade......... if your long trade loss does not give you a short with a huge profit then your long was too high..... second entries are GOD'S gift to traders

    it is my belief that you cannot trade one minute charts manually.....and why on earth would you want to trade 1 minute?
    why force yourself to work fast. When you do not benefit
