@ Thats what that Soccerfan dude told me i shall test.

I asked several times if a fixed SL of 5,10 Pips wouldnīt be a bit tight, no answer...

Update:

I would have made +5 on the long trade if i would have placed the sell stop order a few more pips below of that 08:00 bar low , so it wouldīt have been triggered

I have no idea about mt4 plug-in / spread widening. Why MT4 should widen my spread. Spread stayed constantly around 0,3-0,6 Pips for me.

If you're in front of the screen let the trade run without a stop.

Yes Claudia thanks, but as far as i didnīt understand how the counter trade / hedging part would be done properly if the trade retraces back on me, i thought some kind of SL would be better instead of having it run against me until my account is empty

Also it doesnīt explain what to do if the trade (counter / hedge or not) then just goes into consolidation again hitting no TP at both ends, no TP with the counter, no TP with the original trade.

See this GU M15 chart

If you are going for TP +5 Pips, already hard to achieve if price just running up and down taking out your stop losses several times before direction "maybe" settles and a real "breakout" will happen, but who knows when this will happen or not. Maybe it will keep ranging for 15-20 Pips now for the complete day.

Seems to me you're listening to a lot of people and trying to replicate what they do - you're not listening to the most important person which is you.

I worked with Hanover a few years back when he developed and advisor for me. I'll always remember him saying to me - 'to trade like you I'd have to get inside your head'.

He was so right. You have to do you own thing it is the only way. Believe me.

You have to do you own thing it is the only way. Believe me.

I am trying so, trust me. The thing is, to trade my own way, i will first have to find this own way and therefor you need a starting point. It doesnīt helps me to keep on trading buying and selling randomly from what i THINK is right but still end up losing. I tried all kind of methods, strategies, systems, even fully automated ones over the last years and most of them simply doesnīt work one bit.

So thats why i came here and thought to find some help finally, maybe a method which is not that much subjective i can repeat and find some routine with. Thats where trading just that one "breakout" of the UK open 08-15 bar looked promising to me, as i also donīt need to achieve a hundreds of pips per day/week/month.

And i still think its a good way because here at least time of the day to trade is CLEAR, entry is CLEAR (no lagging indicators needed giving 232323 false signals per day). I also know its not that easy as introduced like with everything in life.

Now i lost today. I donīt care its just one day. Will shut down and stick to my rules. Trying to do better tomorrow, maybe without a fixed Sl.

Hi Idd,

Right now my trade is -15 because i hedge in opposite direction in exact same lot size.. my plan is to reduce the loss until the next trigger.. can be HOLO, Wick zone or else plus i will wait for tommorow 08:00 break doubling the lot size..

I did my backtest on this pair 08:00 for the past year, the maximum consecutive lost is 3 days in a row.. so IMO its safe if you apply some MG in this trade..

So true Claudia, I think it is one of the most important messages that many start up traders miss, it took me a while to realise this. Whatever technique you use to trade you have to make it your own.
