I've said this for years... and its an important concept for setup 1.
If you're trading the hourly chart, you want to see the placement of your setup 1 within the H4 wave ... e.g. emma took this GBP/USD on the h1.
Looks like a good setup 1... right?
But... if you zoom out, or if you go to h4, then where is that pullback within that wave?
Setup 1's on h1 happen in 3 ways
Wave 1-3 = Spread across 1 day .... and half day of Wave 4 and you're ready for Setup 1 breakout.
Wave 1-3 = spread across 1-2 days.. .followed by 1 day of Wave 4... bang on day 4 you get setup 1
Wave 1-3 is spread across 3-4 days ... these ones usually fail. Or you'll have to wait 2 days of wave 4. I don't like that .
Limitations of Setup 1
Setup 1 can be problematic. it requires too many parts and too much data to become a setup... The MicroSetup1 (hunt requires 5 times less data) ... 3-7 candles Impulse and 3-5 candle pullback and boom you have a micro setup 1. setup 1 is great concept for beginners. Learning setup 1 helps you get in tune with the structure of the market and requires alot of work. but once you've done that work, you can work on MicroSetup 1. It's like being a HAWK... be up on the vantage point, zoom in and see that mouse 1 mile away... and then Snap on your prey with the speed of a cheetah! pounce and the kill is yours!!!
Here is this current GU Setup 1

If you were trading the MicroS1, (hunt signal) will you consider this?
Get in Early in to the Trend ... at the start or near the middle... not the end.
