We have another fan rolling in the aisles today ...

I am not trading btw due to bad mood and things I need to fix. Watching EURCAD chopping around a bit, as the trade was still on. Trend is still down and yesterday rejected the daily high, so maybe it will eventually tumble down to the support area starting around 1.49 ish. Swap is positive and chart looks more bearish than bullish to me, so I'll keep that one and doing nothing there for now.

An interesting whipsaw today on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th breaks of 08-00 M15. Could be two counters running plus the original trade.

Here is another jewel, Lem on countering. A few posts later, Billy chips in.

{quote} Hi. Basically, yes, though there are subtleties in approach between methods. For instance, it is not necessarily a double amount counter and where the counter begins is different depending on whether you are talking about AU 04:00 break, Dead Zone or Frankfurt Break. Also, the original trade is not always stopped out straight away, instead run as a true hedge (not a technique available to those traders based in the US).

Lem about the Witching Hour and Dead Zone,

Quoting lemercenaire
{quote} Hi starpro. The original Witching Hour was the Midnight (00:00) candle, UK time - hence the name. Over the course of testing, I noticed (along with Wanna, who helped check this out from the US-Based trader's point of view) that the hour previous to this, 23:00 UK, produced even better results. Remember, the term ''Day'' is all relative - your session day in Australia, mine in the UK and others in the US - or is it Sydney Open time no matter what? Or is it the session time at all? Is it the clock-based midnight for each time-zone? The concept...

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD NEWS TIME.... I am trading from next Monday, i have had another idea. It is similar to my last idea i tried out around last August 2018 looking for major levels. But this time it is purely to make 20 points minimum or hunt the adr of approx , a modest 70/80 points.
Ah ha! Now that's a bit of serious news!

I'm assuming it must be reasonably short term tf and execution so the gf doesn't get suspicious about the amount of time locked away in front of the computer

i intend to trade off the midnight open UK time...00-00 am.
At this moment in time i will have a 10 or maybe 15 filter then trade.
If it reverses and i expect it do i will trade again.

At this moment i am not sure if i will trade counter, i am trying to make trading this way accessible to the normal retaioler.
Lets see......

edit ....as for time frame.. i will either look for 20 points + or go for the adr, maybe looking for 70 points. ( a modest amount)

Here is what Lem was doing with the Dead Zone a couple of years ago,

Quoting lemercenaire
{quote} Hi hasib. Again, apologies for the delay in replying - just been far too busy in my down time for my liking, lol. Anyway, here's a run-down of what I am doing with The Dead Zone: The Zone itself is formed by the range of the H1 candle that precedes the US Open. This zone then extends out into the day. I am looking to take advantage of the ''dead-air'' in the period before the money comes in. Other methods that trade the open breaks will be trading off the actual open bar, I work the previous one, so make use of that open volume. I mark the...

Now...this is getting very interesting indeed, as this set up and time slot is how I run the Buy Zone.

I won't go into detail here - for the usual reasons - but one thing I was looking at closer lately, as a way of modifying the BZ again, was having trigger-finger ready as 00:00 approaches. Then, having a bias established and attached already, entering immediately at the Open of the next 00:00 bar.

This was also incorporating and building on some work done by myself and Pippy (mostly Pippy admittedly) based on the ''top-of-the-hour'' moves.

I really look forward to seeing where you go with this, Billy.

Morning!

Another diamond from Lem - the way he plays countering.

Quoting lemercenaire
{quote} Hi SB. The way it went this morning on v1 (the top variant as posted, v2 is treated slightly differently) is this (forget spreads for this, assume taken into account): First trade Buy - Fails. goes negative. Enter Counter (Trade #2) as price passes half-way down the mid-zone. Two trades now running, one buy, one sell. Open Trade #3 as Sell entry is crossed, closing Trade #1 at sl. Close Trade #2 and #3 as hit sell tp. I will sometimes close 80% here and move sl to halfway down mid-box. Or close one trade and let other run. The rest is left...
