You can see on the chart that my day starts 3 candles after LG's How can I catch the BOs if I am always behind in candles?
I feel for you. I'm in the same boat with Interbank. It was two hrs before the time change. Just going to have to watch it closer to LG's I guess! Their was a lot of good trades I missed today. I was waiting for the fourth hr. then realized I would be chasing the trade and I've gotten in trouble before doing that. Just going to wait for the next consolidation and breakout.

I guess we will have to start marking the first daily candles where she does instead of where they appear on our charts. At least then we will be in line with her. She designed her 4H BO system off of the first 4 candles SHE sees, but those candles are actually at the end of our day. I will just start my lines 3 candles back and see how that goes.

I changed "EndHours" to 3.0 (Candles), so the first 3 Candles are marked now and now my charts look just like LG`s charts... Simple isn`t it?

Maybe something similar could be good for your chart settings too?

I missed this BO because my "new day" line started on the second green candle after the last red candle. How can the BO scenario work if the day starts at different candles? I understand different brokers start at different times, but this BO method may only work with the brokers who start on the same time as LG's, because if I try to use it with mine, I will alwyas be two candles behind and miss the BO's.
My broker is also 2 candles behind, but this works also. One time LG will have a BO that will widen up our range, the other time it will be around. I don't mind this difference, i've been thinking to even bring the opening to London opening, but haven't been able to test this strategy enough to make solid conclusions.

hello, good evening Lawgirl21, I've been watching your post and learning from your strategy, thank you very much, I have a doubt in your entry into the EURAUD. I see you buy from the support channel and not when the channel has broken their resistance, could you tell me, thanks for your answer
A few pages back when I first posted this pair, I said that I entered this trade on a daily chart, so my entry was different from a regular BO. This was still a good regular BO trade. Post # 12245

I thought we had already discussed all these things. My postings are not to give actual exact trades, but to help identify what to look for. The market looks pretty much the same for everyone.

The first four hours of London opening would be very interesting...some of you should try it and let us know how it works.

I get up at about 06:00 am (German Time) and my trading starts mostly at about 07:00 am (German Time) so I tried setting my charts with lineboxes as shown.
The first 4 hours of London opening are a little to late for me.

I understand, I can't do London either (except when I can't sleep like right now).

I think it's going to be ok. God is in control. The Japanese have and are showing great courage and industry. I heard a report from someone in Tokyo yesterday that said people were going about their business, in the restaurants and on the golf courses. Clean up has started, aid is there and on it's way. There is no looting and killing. I admire the people so much and my entire church is praying for them and sending money, as I am sure churches around the world are doing.

You making pips has nothing to do with nuclear devastation, which is not likely to happen. The media is hyping the nuclear devastation, in my opinion, to set the US back in its plans for building more plants. I read a scientific report that said a nuclear plant would have been the safest place to be in the earthquake and following tsunami. God is in control. Life goes on.

Lawgirl how do you define your scout line on the 15m chart ?!
The scout/probe line is the highest/lowest wick on a previous candle. Price has tested that area and pulled back. Take a look at the earlier chart posted. The scout line is the dotted line.

Lots of retracing going on with many pairs, after nice runs mostly down. I'll post a few, but my quick scan of the first few pairs shows the same thing.
