This should make it easier to understand.
There is a frequency distribution of the upper and lower daily wick sizes.
There is a histogram of the wick sizes.
You must first learn to capture the small pips BEFORE you go after the larger pips.

No, I am not Jack's cousin.
I don't know when they occur either. But I do know that sooner or later the current daily low will be the low of the day and I am happy and profitable taking my chances.
Did you see the charts I posted of AUDUSD today?
A chart was posted when the price was within 20 pips of the daily low and was followed by a chart when the price was over 50 pips above the daily low. It should be obvious that this can be profitable.
Atticus, if you are a profitable...
Atticus, please keep your replies civilized. No need to use offensive language.

Not sure where you got the 400 number.
The only forex trades I make are based on RAT REVERSALS or BUY ZONES.
Yes, each trader should have their own EXIT PLAY BOOK to know exactly when to exit.
The opposite is true - you trade when you have a statistical edge. That is what DRAIN THE BANKS - LIKE A RAT is based on. When you trade within 20 pips of the CURRENT daily low on certain pairs, price is more likely to close 20 pips or more above the ACTUAL daily low than not.
