Well, after having some bbq here I won't fake being sober But anyways I can't reproduce your results. I wouldn't count pips at all. What counts is R as being the risk taken and R as being the result of your trade/trades. In your excel sheet ...

Nice work. But doesn't your excel sheet say differently on the bottom right? The optimal SL would be 30 Pips while aiming for R/R = 1 or better R/R =1.5 A SL of 40 Pips would gain the same return for R/R = 1 A SL of 50 Pips would always underperform ...

Helenka, wether your broker offers a leverage of 1:100 or 1:1000 is only of theoretical interest. The lower the margin requirements, the less margin is necessary to trade. Therefore in theory you are able to trade larger sizes or more ...

Why to amend? Leverage is nothing but your margin requirements. Your individual risk depends on your position size and SL.

LO gave you a nice rebound to enter i guess. I'm not eager going short GU since there is Y's Low, RN, EMA800 nearby and I see support @1.6448 Perhaps EUR CPI tells us more

I guess so If you are counting sole pips to measure your performance thats ok. But don't forget to adjust when trading higher sizes later.

Nope, it is not. GU and EU have the same pip value with the USD as their quote currency. But Eur is below parity (0.82) to GBP. Therefore the pip value is quite high - at least it is higher compared to GU/EU etc. Consequently you want to adjust your ...

Teb, could you eleborate on this? A Risk Reward Ratio of 1:2 should be risk = 10, reward = 20 = double up on hit. 1:3 = risk 10, reward 30 = triple up on hit. Where do the 40 and and 60 pips come from? Regards

Morning. Not much going on today in the market. I'm just curious to know: What do fulltime 1H traders do between the hourly closes besides managing open positions? Given you have no open trades. Do you just sit there and watch, read a book, watch tv ...

Let me allow to comment on this as a more less silent reader: You didn't follow proper risk managament or risk managament at all as you said yourself you would not use stops. I myself cannot assess the reliability of the whole dissimilarity idea ...

I think you did the right thing. See my long EU trade at 07:30 GMT (edit: should be 06:30 GMT because of summer time?). Price didn't want to go higher and I decided to close that trade BE. Though I didn't go short I expected EU would go down and ...
- zwirN replied Jul 19, 2013
Since I expect(ed) EU to go a bit further down I would not go long in EJ right now or I would save my long trade per BE SL respectively. Do you look at pair correlations when trading?

Just wanted to say thank you for showing us your method here. Not saying it is the same but your Consolidation Zones should be familiar to any trader who is trying to profit from the asian session - often it is a range and gives us support / ...
