yes. its very possible that the 50% level is on a resistance or support and market can bounce and move against you. again, a rule should be enforced here, such as the amount of time it takes to reach profit. ex. if its taking too long for the tp to occur, then good idea to get out as i find this is warning that prices are about go the other way.
also, important to use very small lots. even if the market reverses, it usually reverts back to the 0.5 level fibonacci on backtesting a good 80% of the time. however, i personally wouldn't count on this, as your account can be well wiped. so get out when its taking too long to reach profit, and use sensible lots.
i'm looking for more suggestions.
btw, theres no indicator for this. its just an idea i've been fooling around with for a while.
perhaps using 1H or even longer time frames should reduce some risk.
however, i've backtested on 1M,5M. its works, but again i mention this system is very aggressive.
another suggestion is zoom out on a 5M or 1M, to see the overall picture. this also helped out a lot.
