Case Study 1
On EURUSD M5 during the London session, price displayed strong upward activity with clearly higher horizontal bars on the Graphic Chart Analyzer.

Strategy Tips
- Focus on entries where price action shows clear and sustained trend direction on the Graphic Chart Analyzer before taking ribbon cross signals.
- Avoid entering trades during congestion or sideways ranges, as ribbon crosses can be unreliable in such conditions.
- Use the H1 timeframe to confirm broader trend direction before taking M5 or M15 entries.
- Place stop losses beyond key horizontal bar clusters to give trades room to develop around pivot areas.
- Consider waiting for minor pullbacks to the ribbon before entries to improve risk to reward.
- Adjust profit targets slightly based on session volatility, aiming for larger targets when momentum is strong.
- Keep a trading journal to track which pairs and timeframes provide the most consistent results with this strategy.
