Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

As for FTSE - I suppose the draw down was more palatable before the short took off?

{quote} Seems quiet thus far but dax price in a tight rectangle at the moment -3:17pm UK time. But E/J just fell off the cliff. {image}
After that fall it is no surprise E/J drifted sideways.

Still sitting quietly in the background trying to get settings right - Claudia's idea of this breakout time looks really good. I'm testing different conditions until I can make this my daily strategy. Currently looking at 100 target with 50 Stop but that was not quite enough yesterday. I am using 15minute because my Axi Platform does not have a bar start time on the hour. The chart I show covers Claudia's time range of 4am to 8am London.
I am finding the GU struggles with consistency but will sometimes offer 20 comfortably. I will concentrate on the Dax meantime.

Great stuff Claudia. Another day that makes it worthwhile.
I won't duplicate your chart but will put up my one minute chart that I use in conjunction with your 4 hour. Like you say to others here, "make it your own"

Cable looks very tight on the 4 hour box

E/J sits in a consolidation after its flurry of activity recently

Just back from taking little grandson swimming.

As an experiment have been marking up E/J. Levels marked before 8am UK time. Interested in 15 minute levels and affect of gap( big green bar to the Left -approx 1.41500) Previous High and ADR touched before dropping through level ( pink Horizontal) and hitting lower ADR.
A case of trapping Longs before shorting to lower ADR maybe ?

What do you think mes amis?

Hey Mr T - I haven't got the experience to offer any comment on your chart. I am just a simple breakout guy and my trading journey has never included topics such as ADR / Trapping etc. but I really enjoy following along and picking up tidbits from you all that I might be able to use to build Binnies Strategy. Will be interesting to see what others might think about your observations. Cheers for sticking around.

{quote} yes, i am surprised myself that there were so few losers.
bird - perhaps you can help mr T out here to revive the original namesake of this thread even though you solely trade GU..

word on the street is you’re now a full time market maker & no longer doing any experiments - can you please confirm? 😊

NO - please. I do not want to revive original instrument. I trade Indicies and a couple of currencies if set ups appear. Other than that I experiment a lot and read much that is posted by individulas; Bird and Claudia for example and discuss trading matters that are of mutual interest but I do not want others to be encouraged to "help" me or to contact me unless it is I who initiates any request for same.

Week was same as usual - I have a plan and targets. When targets are hit then stop. Hence no trade Friday afternoon although it would have been very profitable.

All I'm saying is have a plan and stick to it. I've given the basis of a good simple strategy/system. Up to you to make it work.

lol, no i am still the soletrader and not a MM. a MM is an employee of a big bank and therefore a wage slave.

why should i swap with him? even if he earns 10 times more than me i would not want to swap with him;-)
trading is like dancing, don't think and just listen to the music!

trying to upload a song I have gotten to enjoy lately. Just need to re-learn how to do it properly then I will post.
Happy weekend all.
Had never heard this " Indian Summer " before - easy listening. Bourbon & Coke or a cold beer on a hot day.
