One more question. If that first trade of the day turns out to be a loss I guess I should avoid any further trade for the day, take that -10 Pips at doubled position size and wait for the next days 8:15 bar?

There actually is a chance of that!

I'll let Lem or Billy answer that as I don't really trade the 8.15 the way they do.

{quote} Yes it makes sense. I tried trading the London breakout earlier but without having some clear instructions also following some lagging indicators. I either ended up with a a lot of false breakouts instantly hitting my SL, 5-10 Pips or a RR 1:2 TP 15-20 (i thought would be a wise choice) was often not reached as well to compensate the high amount of losers. Just to see some time later the day price easily went trough my TP. Maybe I also didn’t trade such strategy properly which again could have been the reason for lack of understanding it...

If you are running only The Billy Bar, then yes, I'd be inclined to shut it down and come back tomorrow.

There is a phenomenon that shows price having a tendency to revisit those levels again through the day - you see it with The Dead Zone as well - but for now, I'd leave that alone, maybe just watch it or check it at the end of the day and see if there would have been anything there. We're getting into wheels-within-wheels here though.

Been looking at an end-of-day move here and if it stands up, I'll get into it more. However, for now, I'll settle for these.

{quote} It does make sense. Someone else had the same problems not long ago...can't remember who that was now. One of our Oz guys? I do remember Bo was on Mountain Time which was fun as well, lol. If I remember correctly, the way they got round it was to make the four hour block into a custom candle via 4 x 1 hr candles. You can either use a hand drawn box or there are Custom-Candle indis available. Or just draw your high + Low yourself. Maybe whoever it was can see this, come on and shed some light. Or you could just chart off of a UK Broker's...
Thanks Lem
Thats what I thought. It doesn’t help when I live in a different TZ too! Anyway I have a post it note on my monitor now
cheers

Use 8:15 open price,set a buy at 5 away, tp 5, sl 5 Same with sell As soon as one trade is triggered double the size of the other trade
Did you mean placing the buy + sell simultaneously with a 5 Pips distance?

If doing this manually, what if i can't double the size of the second order anymore because price jumped there just in that second? Also what if price jumped 5 pips up and down and executed both trades almost the same time?

Sorry again for asking, i am confused, had a long day. Trying to prepare for tomorrow morning.

how can I trade it?
lines are important and they should have an anchored
lines cannot predict the future direction of PA
Unless they are back-up by historical fact.
Yes history repeat - To the place the streams come from, there they return again.
Historical fact with high FD stat
GU moves up and down the last thirteen days it will soon lay down his weary head.
give it a few more hours.

Hi all from the Trees.
Cable. 00-00 4 hour bar break. Nothing Happening.

E/U 00-00 4 hour bar break, the High has broken BUT I HAVE LEFT IT AGAIN,
It has made approx. 13/14points. if I were trading it, I would be looking for 15/16 off that first break OR 1/2 if it retraces.
Anyway, have a good day all. Stay Safe.
SEE LINE,TRADE LINE..PRICE HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE,,, PRICE WILL GO SOMEWHERE.

Certain Lines are better than others. as are the areas.
We need lines which are safe from whip , But it can/does happen.
AND, the lines should be in harmony with the daily range.??????
Here endeth the lesson.
Trade Well All.
