    I am only implying that many algos intentionally pay attention to common time frame (5m for example) bar highs and lows, to take advantage of human behavior. 62.25 is value based on what by the way?

    We've broken below the low on the last 60m bar and retraced up which concerns me for shorts. The 60m bar was a nice big down bar closing at the low, however the volume was not that great, and a 2 tick below with no follow through and retrace up into it concerns me. 62.25 is about to be hit and...

    Well I was dense and did not take the advice I'm giving here, but a stop at 63.25 would have been above prior support, and just let it go and see what happens.

    Big money often uses bots, which look at breaks of major timeframe highs and lows, such as 60m bars, 5m bars, daily bars, and so on. The algos don't care about value, and it's evident when you watch a 5 minute chart, the average day trader's anchor chart, how bots will buy or sell to finish the...
