<NihabaAshi> Hi jb...I just saw your question before logging off... 17:15

[15:03] <jbraswell> Niha, i've read before that a lot of people use the midpoints of large candles as S/R...

[15:03] <jbraswell> you being the WRB guru that you are, do you ever use these points?

I use WRB mid-points sometimes as a criteria in a strategy but not as a key s/r level. 17:16

Instead...I use the entire BODY (price action between the Open and Close) of that WRB as a key s/r zone... 17:17

Instead of as a level like a line drawn in the sand.

The current seminar strategy WRB Bullish Harami is a good example of such especially when I briefly discussed the re-entry signal that's dependent upon the WRB as a key s/r zone to look for trade signals. 17:18

Ok...gotta go :) 17:19

<NihabaAshi>	Hi jb...I just saw your question before logging off...	17:15
	[15:03] <jbraswell> Niha, i've read before that a lot of people use the midpoints of large candles as S/R...
	[15:03] <jbraswell> you being the WRB guru that you are, do you ever use these points?
	I use WRB mid-points sometimes as a criteria in a strategy but not as a key s/r level.	17:16
	Instead...I use the entire BODY (price action between the Open and Close) of that WRB as a key s/r zone...	17:17
	Instead of as a level like a line drawn in the sand.
	The current seminar strategy WRB Bullish Harami is a good example of such especially when I briefly discussed the re-entry signal that's dependent upon the WRB as a key s/r zone to look for trade signals.	17:18
	Ok...gotta go :)	17:19
