Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

I knew it would happen....
i have just been looking at FTSE lol.
04-00 to 08-00. 4 hour bar.
trade the second break of High/Low. So if High breaks wait until Low breaks or vice versa.
sometimes it does not happen but hey ho.

Testing Brent.
Stripped down Ichi and just using cross of yellow line for a target of 5 to 10 points. Seems okay so far ( Using data from 8 am to 10 am UK time so don't include that nice up slope to the left unless you really get up earlier) :-)
Needs a lot more forward demo trades to assess worth.

Have a good week end all.

Did anyone make a killing on Cable today?

I believe the Billy Bar had a bit of to and fro before making up its mind this morning.

If anyone here is trading large lots on Cable, how do you get over the fear of price moving against you so quickly that you cannot respond and it wipes you clean? I am wanting to start trading with a relatively large amount of capital (high leverage) but am worried that a sudden 50-100 pip movement might kill me. I've thought about keeping most of my cash in the bank and only placing 5k-10k with the broker to trade with, in case of a sudden movement as such. Ideally I would like to trade £100+ per pip.

The only downside to this would be that I won't be able to hold too many trades open (countering will become trickier) You are all more experienced than I am so any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

I also believe such high leverage is now only available through non EU brokers. I could go with an EU broker but to trade £100+ per pip, I would have to lodge a huge amount of money with the broker and I am not comfortable in case of a flash crash or other catastrophic event. Thanks for any feedback in advance.

Yes 4 hour bars on this seem to trend, meaning more often than not they will break one side only. Makes it easier to trade. A bit like the AU 4am-8am bar. Cable is a bit trickier just now lol.

Keeping a smaller amount with the broker but being able to add to the bank should you need to is my way of doing things - and Billy's I think.

You could use IG's Swiss office (not an introduction, do you own due diligence).

As for Cable, I wouldn't worry too much. If the sky did have the potential to fall in at any time, Chicken Little will give you plenty of notice. Just don't trade that day.

Oh and another way around the leverage thing is to use two (or more) brokers and run buy side on one and sell side on the other.

Thanks Lem for the helpful advice as always.

BTC - found this indicator on another thread (original goes back to 2010 and Hanover got involved).

Anyway, I'll see if it gives clues to the best time to buy/sell this thing. Must be able to get it to analyse by the hour rather than session. That would be interesting.

Of course I will ... my chart I've messed with the code which I'm not good at. Interesting though.

You can also fiddle with the settings to show a breakout e.g. the 00:00-04:00 bar, but viewed on a lower timeframe to see the whips. Useful for gathering stats or a quick visual backtest
