So. Here ya' go. The beloe originated on Page 2580 ,,,Post 51597
I in no way claim that this is a library of content. Instead, what I wanted to do was list a page number that would show where each particular method first kicked in.
I have added the occasional comment and you'll see why once you read them - I know that that's kind of statin'-the-bleedin'-obvious but you'll see what I mean.
Right.
EJ Daily Break.
Page 1 >
Billy's baby girl and although things have kind of left it behind, she still makes an appearance now and again. What should be noted however, is that a few have done updated stats on this and it is now not performing quite as well as it did when Billy first ran it. Keep that in mind. Nothing has gone wrong, markets just change over time. It still rocks.
Claudia's Wine Bar/Pivot Trading.
Page 12 >
Difficult to pin down, as Claudia kind of drops things into the conversation as she goes along hammering Cable relentlessly.
AU H4 Break.
Page 244 >
Also includes the GU variant that wanders in-and-out of the thread from time-to-time. Differences are that the AU runs 00:00 to 04:00, while GU covers 04:00 to 08:00.
The major thing about the GU variant is that it eventually led to The Billy Bar.
Daily Break Wick Zone.
Page 577 >
My first intro to the thread. Took the bones of the EJ Daily Break and added Alien Technology and any pairs that I liked the look of. Main difference is that The Wick Zone adds the ability to trade the move back into the body of the candle.
The Dead Zone.
Page 580 is the first nudge by Too Slow, for which I am forever grateful.
Page 581 > is the first time I picked up the ball and ran with it.
Plays the range of the H1 previous to the US Open.
Officially became The Dead Zone on Page 591.
Somewhere in there, The Witching Hour makes an appearance. This is basically a Dead Zone that runs over the 00:00 to 01:00 UK time GJ and EJ bars. A second variant also works and that covers the 23:00 to 00:00 slot. It is in fact possible to run both as a combined block and on other pairs as spread allows. One tends to act as a continuation trade, the other a reversal. Go find them to find out which is which.
DAX 07:00 - 07:15
Page 585 >
A Billy experiment that ultimately led to other things.
Frankenbreak.
Page 699 >
Another one of mine - as much as a range break can belong to anyone - and plays the range before the Frankfurt Open, I think from 03:00 to 07:00. Sorry, it's been a while, you'd need to confirm the block. I have recently revisited this and have come up with a Frankenbreak-Redux but it's still a work in progress. You'll see it when I am happy with it. If I am happy with it.
H4 Wick-Zone.
Page 810 or so >
I ran these using The F40 and the Brent/US Crude Differential.
DAX-Monster.
Page 1009 or thereabouts >
A 2-Hr Block over the 06:00 to 08:00 slot. Run Wick-Zone style. There is also a brief flirtation with a one hour variant.
Billy's Afternoon Delight (B*A*D)
Page 1032 or so >
Built on a suggestion from Claudia, this plays on the GU fix time slot. Works well, I just kept forgetting it was on, due to the unusual time of day, lol.
Claudia's Dream
Page 1070 or so >
Claudia's EA based around her contraction break trading. A work in progress. Available on request.
The Billy-Bar.
08:00 to 08:15 bar on Cable only.
This was first hinted at by Billy while on the face of it talking about something else, lol, around Page 150. At the time and for some time afterwards, it was known simply as the Open Range Breakout or ORB. At the time, this was also run on EJ, GJ and even EU, before settling on Cable.
This was tracked alongside Billy's other work - no doubt while he compiled his extensive stats - featuring on Page 1185 and then taking centre stage on Page 1200 > until it became, officially, via myself, The Billy Bar at around Page 2220, where I also bring in its red-haired-second-cousin, The Not The Billy Bar, which is the bar previous, at 07:45 to 08:00.
Since the beginning of the year or so, I have run my Thunder+Lightning and Kijun-sen methods as my general day-to-day set-ups. It may have been earlier, it may have been later.
I haven't gone to find the pages they first appeared on as I am still using them and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Anyone wants to know anything about them, either just ask, or do a search in the thread. Seek and ye shall find.
Over and above it all, The Billy Bar just keeps on truckin' and anyone coming here in search of The Light, or hey, just a way to make some steady bucks, should start there or the AU H4.
Peace Out and Watch The Skies.
Rules 2, No swearing, racism don't ask for trade explorer and first person to mention DB will be stoned unless it adds to expanding our imagination regarding trading.
BOLLINGER BANDS ARE DEFINITELY a NO NO.

What you have to realise is that this thread, having been banished to the Commercial Content section of the FF Universe, is not a single ''method'' thread at all any more.
Over time, it has morphed, as it has attracted a motley crew of reprobates and brigands who like to sail under Cap'n Bill's black flag, into a kind of journal of ideas and concepts, free from the usual FF thread BS, where we can hang out and chew the fat.
Most, though not all, methods used here share a lot of the same DNA and have grown organically from the original concept over time.
Like has attracted like, with other like-minded souls finding their way here, more often than not, through word-of-mouth or introduction from one of the shipmates already here and Billy is gracious enough to give us a home.
As such, the method that Mr-T is using there is my Dead Zone (though I say ''my'' method only in the sense that I introduced it here via my friend TooSlow's suggestion and built it up over time using what we call ''Alien Technology'').
All of my methods used here are actually all using the base technique known as Wick-Zone. This is the main way in which my trade management differs from Billy's.
What this boils down to is that price wants to leave the Wick Zones of a candle and I take advantage of this to give me an edge along with Supply+Demand, pivots and other herbs and spices.
So, back to the specifics of The Dead Zone and what this takes advantage of is the ''dead air'' in the hour before the US Open. I take the High, Low, Open and Close of that H1 candle and extend the levels out into the day. I then trade the movement of price as it crosses over those levels.
As examples from the UC set-up today, we would have had:
1: The move back into the body of the candle. This is my own personal trade preference.Attached Image (click to enlarge)
https://www.forexfactory.com/attachm...1&d=1526407842
2: The break outside of the range.Attached Image (click to enlarge)
https://www.forexfactory.com/attachm...1&d=1526407909
3: If price dropped all the way out, we can trade back into the body again from below. Again, out of the WZ.Attached Image (click to enlarge)
https://www.forexfactory.com/attachm...1&d=1526408001
There is also a fourth addition, that of a break out of the range low, however in this particular case, you would not have price get there without first having triggered the move back into the body.
The other line on the block, is the range mid-line. This is not so important any more but can be used as an add-in point for an open trade, or even as a late entry, as price tends to pivot around this line before continuing on.
Mr-T doesn't use this indicator, however the method is this one.
Hope that helped in some way.
I have been asked a few times lately - and in the past - if it would be possible to put together a kid of round-up post on the specifics of The Dead Zone, so this I guess was as good an opportunity to do so as any other.
