This post is dedicated to the fifth Bullish Setup - Big Green on C1 or C2, a single candlestick continuation or breakout pattern that forms on either the first hourly candle (C1) or the second hourly candle (C2). Unlike the previous setups, it is traded in the morning. It is reliable and has a high win ratio.
(Fig 1.1 - Chart example of Big Green on C1)
To be considered tradable within our strategy, the setup must meet specific criteria:
Setup Conditions:
Formation Timing: The setup should complete on C1 at 10 AM or C2 at 11 AM.
The setup must meet the trade selection criteria (refer to the "Trade Selection" section for details).
Key Elements of a Big Green on C1 or C2:
Setup Formation: The big green candle on either of C1 or C2 must form under one of two scenarios. If it forms on C2, C1 should be a narrow-range candle, green or red.
Bullish Continuation: The daily (preferably weekly) trend is already bullish, and C1 (or C2) reaffirms the continuation of this trend.
Bullish Breakout: The trend has been sideways for the past few days, and C1 (or C2) represents a clear breakout. In this scenario, the daily trend should not be bearish; it can be sideways, preferably forming a bullish chart pattern. A breakout from a chart pattern such as a Double Bottom or a Reverse Head & Shoulders is a strong confirmation. A big gap up after a sell signal the prior day is a very strong signal as it represents a sell failure.
The rationale behind taking the morning trade is to capitalize on significant breakouts that tend to trend throughout the day. Waiting for C4 or C5 in the afternoon would be too late in such cases.
By 10AM (or 11AM), you should have decided whether to take the trade or step aside. If you’re unsure, it’s better to step aside. Avoid chasing momentum at unfavourable prices when the market becomes fast.

Win Ratio: The Win Ratio, a critical input for Trade Selection, is simply the number of successful trades divided by the total trades. The Win Ratio of this setup is 73% based on backtesting past data for the last 2 years.
