ABC (D) (E|A)Note: this is not backtesting, just an observation of some pairs in the last week.
All of these can be seen as ABC, but I like to chart it as ABCDE and see that E is not coming in the way. I spotted this behaviour on various pairs and time frames, but the last week provides nice summary to be put in one place. They provide nice RR, but require patience :) And of course this is not the every time winning case - you also have to take in account trend on larger time frame and support/resistance levels.
Anyway, hope somebody will find this useful and will benefit his/her trading.
