GBP/USD 08:00 (setup) 08:15 (entry)

Entry = Pending Buy around 1.26580, Pending Sell around 1.26410

TP (+10 to account for spread and commission would have been reached)

It retraced back but without hitting the opposite Pending sell order at the low of the setup.

Now that’s a risk of around 20 Pips to make 10.

A stop loss of 5 or 10 = stopped out.

So that’s the Billy 08:15 Cable entry, is that correct?

Billy would open a counter trade / hedge at the low of 08:00 instead of placing a fixed stop loss?

Regards

That is correct, my set up.
High broke, +5% £600 kerching.
I actually did post this set up this morning

edit, sorry, I posted 00-00 4 hour bar entry, it is the same as the 08-00 but its easier to make more money.

Thanks for your kind comment on it.

I will see how it goes with a stop loss and or counter trade it. I would expect to many losing trades at a higher SL wouldn’t compensate for the TP even if strike rate is better than 50%, but let’s see.

I think Billy's strike rate is above 65% on this method. Or should I say 100%, as he trades his way out of failed breakouts.

You could also look at the 8am or 9am 1 hour GU bar. They usually breakout for a good handful on either side every day. You might have a fail on 1 side, but then the break on the other side should cover your original loss. Have a look at the past few months, you'll know what I mean. And most days the risk reward ratio is at least 1:1 or better. I think from memory the 9am 1 hour bar has better results.

I will test how its going with a SL and then test counter / hedge as well.

Hi Ia, thanks for the kind words.
It is a very high strike rate but actual risk reward as they say is poor.But it you add it to another trade.bar the risk disappears and becomes positive..
Breakout is a very old successful method first used with stocks/shares .
i am not directing this post at you, as i know you know.

Bagged a quick HOLO and posted over in TS' yard. At the same time, added this wee baby bird, again, just for giggles to say I had done something on the charts today, lol.

Went in as price got itself back over the 200 ma.

UJ 1-min Kijun-sen Chart +3.6 Heavy Jumbo, nevertheless. Kind of goes without saying.

You'll note I have done away with the other Kijun-sen (100 setting) as it wasn't doing anything for me. Certainly not down on the 1-min.

I would prefer to end my trading as quick as possible for a few pips booked in even if that’s means a poor risk/reward.

As long as I would be able to manage a good strike rate like you say to have on this one setup that’s more than okay to me.

I just wonder about the term of „breakout“ here.

Should a breakout to consider it as a breakout not at least should move on for a few more bars or closed one price bar at least positive in the breakout direction you went?

I mean at time you make your 5 Pips here this could be the 8:15 - 8:30 bar (entry) that bar could retrace back and close below the open of the 8:00 - 8:15 bar (setup), so actually a failed breakout but still your pips would be made and you could end your day if this is your daily goal to achieve.

All the London breakout strategies I looked at so far (not tested them) seems to aim more like for a 30-50 Pips TP where trades would be hold on to for maybe a few more M15 candles, more M5 and far more M1. Also most of them trying to filter out setups in some ways trying to predict direction again by applying a moving average, looking for near S/R, levels, round numbers, market condition (trend direction, no trend) and all that.

Also, having a brilliant strike rate is no good if the trader is greedy.

My A/U 04-00 4 hour bar break, had a strike rate in the 90s.
But if you tried getting 40/50 /60 points , you would fail.

Another thing, the money you make, USE IT. ie add on, compound.
Get the Machine running, make money, make a bit extra, the extra can then help out with a fail???????,

Good Post.
Most breakout methods as you say will be advertised as saying, break look for 40/50 points.
It does work i suppose. but you still have fails.
BUT ,,, look at Frequency Distribution Stats, a lot of those advertised breakout candles, will have a minimum amount of points made, before either carrying on or retracing.
i am more interested in the retrace bars. most of the minimum points made will be , example 7/8/ points etc so if that is the case , i can look for 4/5 quite confident knowing i will win.
I have posted all this info before.
