This is actually an opportunity especially on the pairs with wider spreads. There are certain firms out there who like to do this sort of thing on purpose on very illiquid stocks to manipulate (tighten) the spread and, as the other party competing ...

Kudos to everyone for all the work you've put in here. I've actually been looking into a style similar to this lately. My staple used to be the London Breakout but I began testing different approaches to a weekly breakout such as the one being ...

Statements like "it all depends on the trader" and all the usual psychology, etc., is fine, but it shouldn't really be part of the discussion of the quality of systems/methods posted on this forum. By definition, a profitable system/method should ...

I completely agree with Scotty that technicals are basically just points of reference. I've actually considered the ones I use to be "anchors" for some time now and that's all that really matters about them. I think the idea steps on a lot of other ...

Either way, I doubt this would affect liquidity too much. As I understand it, this only applies to American banks. New UK branches, anyone? If retail brokers can do it (and have already been doing it, thanks to the NFA rules), I'm sure the big ...

I agree with the OP's view within the realm of "scalping" type strategies. If you really trade retail Forex (as in market makers where you are forced to buy at the ask and sell at the bid) and your targets and stops are really within the scale of 10 ...

Just as a note for everyone else here, that means it's 7:00 to 7:30 GMT from late March until October (British Summer Time is GMT+1). IBFX is GMT, Alpari UK is GMT+2 (yes, you read that right, their server is an hour ahead of their own summer time ...

I really don't mean this to sound insulting at all, but I'm just curious since I'm not aware of your trading style -- is there a reason you need to keep the USD/JPY position open at all? Because if you hedge it this way, assuming you calculate the ...

I'm guessing you're in the Eastern Time Zone in North America (ie. New York, Toronto, etc.) so here's the major sessions that affect the forex world in terms of our clock: Sydney, Australia - 17:00 (5pm) to 2:00am Tokyo, Japan - 20:00 (8pm) to ...

I don't mean to get overly nitpicky about this but I'm assuming you mean EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) which is what we're currently using in the NY time zone. Technically, EST is an hour away from that (not the one used in the summer here in the New ...

The method that you proved works there is maintaining a larger ratio of winning trade size to losing trade size (most people would say letting winners run but in some cases it's not necessarily trying to milk it to the last drop with trailing stops, ...

"but now I just zoom out on the 1 hr TF to see what is really going on" This part pretty much summarizes what's really important about price action on any chart in any time-frame. The start and end of Daily and 4Hr candles don't affect what the ...

Yeah, round numbers can be a good setup but the way I do it is a bit more scalper-like I guess. I did it very often over the past year on the GBP/USD. I wouldn't just take every round number though, I'd watch for ones that look like the move toward ...

Check post #1 in this thread. (As of the moment I'm writing this post, SamuraiPower has posted a 5-digit broker version of Firebird for use with his "driven" style on the first post of this thread.) No changes needed

I've been looking into this as something of a supplemental strategy since I usually only trade the London session manually. I noticed something with your updated EA that might affect performance: In the "Firebird-v63H04 (EA) 5 digit platform.mq4", ...
