Counting APBs
1. Check the difference between the HA_Open & HA_Close. 2. 3 10 pips difference depending on the time frame. 3. Count the first Average Price Bar (APB) when #2 is satisfied. 4. Once you start a count, continue the count even if a candle does not satisfy #2. 5. Look to enter a trade between APBs 1, 2, 3. 6. Possible to enter trade on APB 4, if all indicators are good. 7. Look to scale out or potential exit between APBs 5 - 8.
