Hi Perry,
Just wondering if you can run your eye over my mark up please?
From your chart it seems as though you have got all the setup bars correct. It is a bit difficult to see from the chart, but as far as I can see they are all correct. Maybe one could be 1 bar before, but in general you have it right.

The following is an UPDATE of how to trade method 1 in an easy and more relaxed fashion increasing the probabilty for success.
1. Take an 8
Range chart and put the exact setup indicators on this charts.
2. Next to the 8 range chart have your usual 4 range chart with the same setups.
IMPORTANT :
Watch the 8 Range chart for a SETUP BAR with all the conditions met. Now go to your 4 Range chart and TAKE THE TRADE FROM THE 4 Range chart. Normally you will see a beautiful setup waiting for you to enter on the 4 range. TAKE THE TRADE ON THE 4 Range with ALL THE NORMAL setup condtions in place.
Note: The above will normally put you into a trade with a very high probabilty of success.
Good Luck !!!!!!!!
Perry, is the actual entry at the Murrey Math pivot rev line at 2726? On the 4RB chart it looks like that is the hi above the previous wicks. Which Murrey Math levels do you not worry about? Is it because it set up on the 8RB already that the MM level isn't so concerning here?
Thanks,
Susan

That is the strength of having the 2 charts. The 8 Range is showing a break to the upside, so that on the 4 usually it will break any resistance . Without the 8 Range, you may have waited for it to break the MM line on the 4.

Your chart is so small that it is impossible to see what you have. In any event, take the Force Index, and use ANY ONE of the inputs, either slow or fast. If you choose fast then on the slow make the colors trasnparent. In the other one use EMA as input. Then make your lines :
Dash style = Dash
PLot style = Hash
Width = 90
The above explanation has been written a number of time in this thread.

Can the setup bar for a long/short be touching the 20EMA as well as 5 EMA? Or must it be only touching the 5 EMA?
Regards

Please read the rules on
Rule 3: The Setup bar LOW must be LESS than or touching the EMA(5) and the Setup bar HIGH must be greater than the EMA(20).
This means that it can touch or not, it is not the criteria. The criteria is that the HIGH must be GREATER than EMA20 for a long.
