Not exactly chetron!
The Buy Zone lines are placed according to STATISTICS!!
It is true that you can randomly place horizontal lines and still make money.
But you get an "edge" when you use statistics in your favor.

I have no statistics to back this up but, what I have observed in watching cow stocks.
You seem to have a higher probability of a reversal if price moves above (long) the halfway price point of the previous candle, (candle before the last red bottom candle), on a 5 min chart.
it seems to be a mini resistance point.
What the probabilities are I have no way of calculating.
Also from TRO even dollar and 0.25 dollar points tend to be support and resistance.

No back test!!!! Ha
These are stats for one year.
Criteria:
Enter only after a gap down.
Buy at 0.30 above the open
profit target $1.50 Sell on open of next bar running 5 min bars, You hit the profit target 61% of the time, the dollars calculated using 100 shares.
Stocks used for study: AAPL ABX ANR ICE MEE MON MOS POT RIMM
This is long only no shorting.........
I have no stop control because I suck at C# code so it may drop below the buy zone which should triger a stop, then bounce up to the 1.50 target for a win.
Dont look at the losses I cant code the stop.... so on big down days I eat the loss on the back test, which would not be the case in a live trade.
What you can take from this is you have a higher prob. of hitting your profit by fadeing the gap this stat can not be derived from the MTC scan.
This is why TRO says always trade the fade.
This is one trade per stock per day.
The back test shows a buy and hold, yet the program sells the stock at last bar of the day, so ignor the last col.
This could be automated and is on my list of goals to complet by the end of the year.
