What Does The Data Show?[/center]
Key:
Higher High = HH
Higher Low = HL
Lower High = LH
Lower Low = LL
(I promise this won't get too confusing
The tables above show the probability of 1-hour candlesticks creating new HH/HL
(during bullish candles) or LL/LH (during bearish candles) compared to the
previous 1-hour candles own highs and lows.
Specifically, the data shows:[/b]
• The number of times a HH/HL & LL/LH occurred on every 1-hour candle (from 2017 - 2023)
• The frequency of candles with HH/LL occurrences relative to the total number of bullish and bearish candlesticks.
• The probability of a high/low forming, calculated as a percentage of the total bullish or bearish hours, respectively.
Key Takeaways:
1) ALL 1-Hour BULL candles = 71.71% chance of LOW forming higher than the previous candle low.
2) ALL 1-Hour BEAR candle = 70.51% chance of HIGH forming Lower than the previous candles high.
Use these probabilities to help set stop loss orders!
Say you see swift rise on the 1-hour timeframe (or lower) and decide to buy to capture the momentum.
Rather than place a large stop using technical analysis (which is very subjective), you can place the stop
a few pips under the previous hours low and then trail it up whenever a new hour begins!
All bullish 1-hour candles hold a 71.71% chance of forming a LOW higher than the
previous hours low – whether that candle closed bullish OR bearish!
Why this works:
• Data shows 71.71% of bullish 1-hour candles form a low higher than the previous hour's low.
• This means your stop has a high probability of staying untouched, even if there's a minor pullback.
And don't forget: ALL losses are reduced compared to using standard TA levels (S&R/FIBS/MA's Etc)!
Your stop sits closer to the current price action, reducing risk and improving profit
taking (if you decide to trail the stop!)
