{quote} you have your opening line way off
Sorry friend, but you are more lost than blind in shooting.

See what I said in # post 277 The high became 33,068, so we placed a pending BUY STOP order above that high.

The method is to place pending orders on the highs and lows that are forming.

Above the opening price, we place pending BUY STOP orders with the Stop loss 20 pips below the opening price.

Below the opening price, we place pending SELL STOP orders with a stop loss 20 pips above the opening price.

The price moves like we're going up and down stairs. The problem is that the operators have no patience and want to take the elevator.

The opening price today was 33.029. We will only sell and look for a SELL STOP when the price crosses below the opening price. As long as the price is above the opening price, we will only look for tops and place BUY STOP.

Hey buddy - I am using AxiTrader MT4 which has a server time of GMT+3. My opening could be different to other brokers for sure. Means too that the candles will form differently. Principal still the same - Buy Stop order above latest High if price is above the open or Sell Stop order below latest Low if price is below the open.
Stoplosses 20 under the low if going LONG or 20 above the high if going SHORT.
The OP has suggested various ways to skin this cat - work out which one suits your style and make it your own.
1. Daily Open 200 move
2. H4 Sail Trade looking for breakout at the 17.00 candle
3. Crate / Stairstep trades where pending orders are placed above or below latest highs & lows with stops of 20 above or below the Opening Price. Target at least 50% of the StopLoss. Use the ADR to tell you where you are during the day and help to see if price has room to travel.

I am not around a chart for the H4 Sail Trade 1700 time frame ( 3am here in NZ ) so that leaves me the Daily Open which I will adjust to suit my style or I can look at the new highs/lows forming throughout the day and place Stop Orders as needed. Thanks to Forex1x8 for the ideas. I have had a look at these strategies on other high volume / fast moving instruments as well and they look promising too. ( Bitcoin / Dax / HangSeng ) Principals are all the same.

They asked me, why at today's BUY STOP 32.920 entrance did I put a TP of just 50 pips? ANSWER : See the highs of the day 15/03 at 32.992 of the day 16/03 at 32.996 Always put my TP before, so I don't have to face this resistance zone, that's why my TP was 32.970 {image}
Adding to your already excellent illustration, the ADR was already at 370 and therefore a good reason to use a TP = +50.

How's it Froggy - the DJ30 opens here at 11am NZ & there seems to be enough volumes to move 1 direction or the other. looks promising
Send me a private message if you want. Are you looking at other instruments with these set-ups? Cheers.

Just running demo on US30 for now and sticking with original forex1x8. Simple enough so far at least on winner every nights. If I stay up to trades I trade the H/L pivots as per rules.

When trading during the day I focus on scalping gold nothing else move much unless news. The AUD did well today
Stay green!!!

Hi, i do not get it. According to what strategy you have placed orders?

daily how/high before 1600 is clear.
buy stop is 100 pips from daily opening.

Green lines is your orders.
Blue lines daily High/low

What i do not understand is, why non of these buy/sell stop fit one of 2 strategies.

Thank you!!

P.S.
It might be H4 candle high low before market open, but then we have different candle heights, because those levels of buy/sell does not fit to my broker H4

WooDex,you need to calculate the highs and lows right now,place pending orders buy/sell SL as suggested 20 pips below OP when buying and 20 pips above for selling....volume,volatility all present at the moment,this is where ADR shots to maximum on,best time for taking profit

At 32 pips in profit,target was 41 ,I will NEVER watch my SL (83 pips) being hit without moving into break even.If I don't do this,I rather sit in a casino all day and gamble.That's why we TRADE,you can change the outcome,reduce risk increase profit before the game is over!
