{quote} @Inception12 the "limbo" technically is the Hedging. What you do it's to counter-balance the bad trade, if i understood correct... So if one goes bad and the market change direction, you change direction too and instead of taking a SL you can turn your loss in a BE or in a winning trade In the image attached, the long is your loosing trade, so you go short and see you are counter-balancing the bad trade {image}
if you have to counter to put a bad trade in limbo you are going to "negative" what ever the amount of the range was. So for example if the range of the 08-15 bar was 15 pips and your Upper Trigger broke and then price went back down and it broke thru your Lower Trigger..........Billy will put in a trade at the lower trigger and then his overall trade set will be at -15 pips............he will then stay at -15 pips no matter what happens to price.............He will then look for another Bar that he uses to wait for another trigger to be broken and try to get those -15 pips back, usually 5 pips at a time. Don't get greedy. This method is all about the strike rate, not about getting tons of pips. His pip target is always 5 pip/points......he uses 1% per pip so when he says he got 5 points....he really got 5%.

Thank you very much! So a trade can stay also three days in the limbo, until you don't reach the TP or at least the BE, right?

Last question please then i think i'm done with the basics. If the 4:00 am bar is broken, not at 4:15 but at 8:00, the trade is valid? Or we don't take the trade if the breakout doesn't occur in the zone of the 15 minutes?

All this, only on aud/usd? Or any pair?

{quote} What you do is wait for London Session to begin. Then the 1st M15 candle to form after London Opens will be your "Range". The High will be your upper trigger and the Low will be your lower trigger. You trade the break immediately when price breaks a trigger. (don't wait for a candle close). You will then go for 5 pips plus spread. You stop loss will be the Opposite Trigger. What Billy does is he DOESN"T use a SL. He will just put in a counter trade at the opposite trigger to keep his bad trade "in limbo". If this happens he will at this...
Thanks for this detailed explanation, i get it now...fantastic stuff. just a few follow up questions
1...So do you just place a pending order at the high/low or you manually have to watch the charts till the trigger is hit
2....is it the same logic for the 4hr break at 04am that has a 90% win rate....you wait for the 4 hr bar to form at 8am and then you use the high and low as range??
3...which are the best currencies for the 2 types...since the EJ seems to have been dumped

I think i'll try the hedging as well as ive been at this forex game for a while and the logic explained there makes a lot of sense

yes, i use counter so i can actually say i never lose,
You can just as easily use a stop but it seems more trouble.

The 04-00 4 hour bar break is not the same as the 08-00 15 minute bar break.

Yes i mean, if the breakout of 8 am candle doesn't occur in 1 candle, but 5 candles after.. is it a valid trade?

Hi,,, if it doesn't break for several hours i would leave it, but then you are looking at US open,
ALSO maybe inside bar on bigger time frame.
OR consolidation but then that is Claudia's area.

Still a valid trade. Whether anyone would still be hanging around to take it that long after the original set-up is highly debatable. I know I certainly wouldn't be.

If it's ranged for 5 m15 bars without breaking the first, then the market is telling you something and you'd be better off ''doing a Claudia'' and setting orders above and below and letting it do its thing when it gets around to it.

Once upon a time, there was a candle...

The trade today kind of muddies the water a little because of the gap, so for the purposes of this eg, I'll treat it as if there had been no gap, ok?

So.

1: Enter long at the open of the trigger candle. This is a Wick-Zone move back into the body of the 2-hr block.

Now, you ask if I would then go in with a double lot as price breaks the Low. Short answer is (in this instance at least), no.

The distance is too large for me and would have me sitting on an annoyingly chunky floater (oo-err-missus).

What I will do instead is...

3: ...run a counter entry off of the last m15 bar. So, in this case, I will enter a counter short at what was around the marked line here...13007...

4: ...going in on a short as price breaks the low of the 2 hr block now.

This now gives me an un-balanced hedge (one long and two short) and so I will have to at some point, assuming we continue short, close the long trade.

I can't tell you when and where exactly I will do that, that's part of my game, how I play it as my own personal style. I will say that I usually wait for a small pullback, usually at a micro S+D Zone (whatever is relevant) and close it out, leaving the shorts to run.

However...I will also, if the mood takes me, leave it open and look to scalp it back completely (''green up''). This is not a recommendation and is a risky strategy if you are prone to panic, lol. You need to continually balance and unbalance the floating loss and you do need a fair-sized bank. Because of the way it moves though, The DAX is especially suited to this type of scalping.

Hope that helps in some way and feel free if there is any more you need cleared up.

I've said this before - it is probably easier to do than to explain .
