I follow peter's rules and not trade after 9-10 hours is passed. Also not before 6gmt either(usually). He said its the volatility which is best to have maximised when trading. There is always another day, but good luck if you are entering on usdjpy!

My first little account was destroyed when i last traded some other methods, mainly because overtrading. This time i will have more patience.

Hi all,

great thread

my30marahaba, what is vertical line you put on your graph ? Why it is on 3 GMT ?

I have also another question. As Peter mentioned you only take trades long/short when the day is up/down. As I understand he treats day like a session so i understand that new day starts at 6:00 GMT, so if we take a bar before this time we will have the day close. In other words is the 6:00 GMT bar open price treated like a level to figure if we are up/down ? And do you take open/close of IB as the signal or is it rather high/low ?

If the close of 5:00 GMT bar is 96,88, and the high/low of IB is 97,07/96,83 the signal was at 97,07 which was the trade that wouldn't give you money. If you took 2 lots at 97,07 with SL at 96,83, and TP1 at 97,31 (2*97,07-96,83) the first TP was not hit. Even if it was hit the price reversal would hit the SL finishing the free ride with no pips gained. Please correct me if i don't understand things good.

And the IB was 6:00 GMT bar...

Sorry about my english btw

You are right sir, the better way discipline to follow PC's rule i'm out when the price hit IB on the 05.00 gmt (97.00) and close my pending order

You are welcome. One other thing. Daily IB's will almost always pose more of a risk because of the range. Use proper MM or demo until you are comfortable. My Euro/Cad chart shows an inside bar closed today.

I've been trying this method out as well but unfortunately if we take all the DIBS trades even within the 9 hour timeframe and trade just the pairs Peter mentions we still may not make any headway.

You'll soon find we need a way to select high probability trades, I wish Peter would have included this detail as well although I'm thankful to him for even telling us this much and all about DIBS.

Dear Sir,

my30marahaba, what is vertical line you put on your graph ? Why it is on 3 GMT ?
I’m using two indicator – iB_nn.ex4 indicator (this indi to be indicate all IBs on your chart ) and DIBS_TriggerLines1.1 indicator (this indicator to be indicate closing hour on 05.00 GMT and opening hour on 06.00 GMT base on PC’s rule) all the indi you can download from this forum

I have also another question. As Peter mentioned you only take trades long/short when the day is up/down. As I understand he treats day like a session so i understand that new day starts at 6:00 GMT, so if we take a bar before this time we will have the day close. In other words is the 6:00 GMT bar open price treated like a level to figure if we are up/down ? And do you take open/close of IB as the signal or is it rather high/low ?
PC’s Rule IB on which hour?
You can play an IB, be it at 5.00 GMT, 4.00 GMT, 3.00 GMT or even 2.00 GMT as long as it is off the Open of the Day, 6.00 GMT. Peter's charts show this.

If the close of 5:00 GMT bar is 96,88, and the high/low of IB is 97,07/96,83 the signal was at 97,07 which was the trade that wouldn't give you money. If you took 2 lots at 97,07 with SL at 96,83, and TP1 at 97,31 (2*97,07-96,83) the first TP was not hit. Even if it was hit the price reversal would hit the SL finishing the free ride with no pips gained. Please correct me if i don't understand things good.
You are right for this ,The price should be hit the SL but for me I’ll always put my SL at the support line or resistance line 1st and to be observe the price action in 2 or 3 hour.

Brgds,
My30marahaba

Yes, but if following DIBS rules, your direction is which side the price is howering compared to the 6gmt price. You are right about the overall trend being down, but you never know when the main trend will change, and by DIBS rules, you are mainly interested on "intraday trend" and if the longer trends allign too, its a bonus and you can then keep your winners open and trail them for example on 4h and daily and weekly charts

Peter said it pretty well:

Excellent point, I guess I've over thinking it all and second guessing myself. You're right, go with the direction DIBS says.

Entered on usdchf long, hour ago, already in a "free trade mode"
Also one position on gbpusd(used 4gmt bar), not a free trade yet, needs to go 33+ pips for that.

edit: Just closed 2/3 of the gbpusd at 30+ pip, so now its also a free trade.

Ok, but i dont "expect" anything, nobody can see the future. Most important is that the trade is already "free", so i will let it run or hit the initial stop.

In my opinion, letting it run for long is very important aspect of DIBS methods. The few good runners makes easility the small frequent losses. I could close this gbpusd for example now at 64+ pips but i wont(greed or fear?), i want to have the possibility for a longer runners and then trail them on 20 sma using dailys for example.

Greed is "not" good even if Gordon Gekko say it is, in the movie "Wallstreet" (1987):

You are right about that we have to find high probability trades. I select them by using s/r lines. It really is effective and I recommend to try it. I don't take an IB if it's closer to s/r line by half of it's length.

I've been watching the GU and haven't pulled the trigger yet. Looking for some kind of break.

Light Blue Fib = large down trend
Yellow = s/r line

Price has come up the 38.2 fibo (lt. blue) not sure if it will break it or not and now the Yellow resistance line is looking like support. I'm waiting for one of these areas to give. Mind you, I've only been trading for weeks, so what do I know. Anyone feel free to provide constructive criticism you opinions.
