THE 4 BAR RULE - METHOD OF SHIFTING TRAILING STOPS IN ABSENCE OF PIVOTS
Illustration (with a short position)
BAR 1 forms.
BAR 2 LH-LL .......Short triggered below BAR 1 with room.Stops above high of BAR1
BAR 3 LH-LL.......Nothing to be done.Stops where it was.
BAR 4 LH-LL.......Nothing to be done till it is completed.After the end of the 4th Bar,move stops to the high of BAR 2.
From here,2 possibilities:
a) BAR 5 does not make a LL,keep stops at high of BAR 2.
b) BAR 5 makes a LL,then move stops to the high of BAR 3.
So on so forth for Bar 6.
AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS IS TO BE DONE WHEN THERE ARE NO PIVOTS FORMED IN THE LOWER TIME FRAME CHART ALSO (15/20 MIN) TOO...
IF THERE IS A PIVOT FORMED IN THE LOWER TIME FRAME CHART, THEN PREFERENCE WILL BE GIVEN TO SUCH PIVOT FORMED.
