Re: Live discussion Saint's - 60 minute flow
by no means senior but just want to share my view..
we use gap rule when we we have big WRB in pre, day & then we get big gap in our direction ..at that time we rev on 5 min bar trying to protect our profit
but it doesn't look like here yest is a ranged day even today 5 min bar is within yestesday's LOD
so i will keep my SAR at yest hod
Thank you Vineet.
No change in position.
Here is the Gap rule.
Gap Rules
Gaps in the direction of the preexisting trend
We are on long trade, day 1,2,3,4.......big moves on the 60 minutes. One WRB after other and trade gets vertical then the market shuts and opens with a big visual gap up. Allow the 1st bar to form, put your stop below that bar and reverse to short when triggered. Same logic applies for short trade
Nothing to be done for all other gaps in the direction of the trend. Once the day progresses and pivots form, the latest pivot low can become the new recent stop and reverse point.
Gaps in the reverse direction of the preexisting trend
Assuming we are on 'Long trade', Preexisting trend is up. Now market open visual gap down. Check if price below the previous pivot low on the 60? If yes, short at the low of the first bar. If no, hold and see if pivots crack. Exit longs and go short. Vice versa for short trades.
Imp: Under each SAR condition we have specific filters so please check the filters table before setting the SAR
