Trading Strategy for GBPUSD with ca. 80% success rate

Enjoy Brexit Drama? come along and play GBPUSD. Demo it and post your results.

1. Wait for the first hour candle to close after London Open, then calculates the high and low of the first hour candle and then place two pending orders.
2. One buy stop order 10 pips above first hour candle high price and one sell stop order 10 pips below the low of the first candle.
3. Take Profit both with a preset 30 pips. Stop loss is set for the opposite end (high or low) of the first candle. Use your MM to calculate your lot size.
4. As soon as the trade triggers, close the opposite pending order.
5. After 20 pips in Profit, move SL to BE plus 1 pip.

Interesting, but IMHO, you can have a great hit rate but you need the R:R to also be great.

For instance, only yesterday, the range (with the +10 to high and low) was 61

Therefore, calculate the Risk as 61 pips = 1-R

The Reward at 30 pips will only be 0.5-R

See my point? The R:R has to be at least 1 to 1, and a way to let the profits run?

Is there a re-entry strategy if stopped out going one way and it give opposite signal?

I will re-read the thread to check. Thanks for sharing.

Here are 2 examples - first 2 to 1 R:R was available

Which is better? I think take the 2 to 1 instead of only 0.66 to 1 (30 pips profit vs 54 pips stop loss)

The next was short trade entry but quickly turned around and stopped out for - 1-R.

Also, your charts could be better, show the session time, the price, entry, stop loss, take profit

Just suggestions, it's not hard, only 1 pair, 1 time per day

Good luck all

Friday offered 1 to 1 R:R, orders would have to be set as it was triggered quickly by random news.

Where is OP gone? This is why I don't start a thread, too much work to maintain

Yes, totally agree, but as I mentioned, it was RANDOM news, not SCHEDULED news

Anyway, it's not in the RULES, in fact, Post #1 says -

"Enjoy Brexit Drama? come along and play GBPUSD. Demo it and post your results."

Cheers, wish you many pips next week

I'm trialling trading the London open on GBP/USD and a few other markets. Have come to find that the break-out moves are very short and quick, so often no positive r:r. The reversals from swing highs or lows showing a better return right now. I'm supposing that this all down to the indecision in the forex markets due to the lack of Brexit clarity.

Still working this strategy though.
