I say this quite often, having one trade per day is hard , especially if it goes in first break.

Nice Easy day today
GU 00-00 H4 break +0.25% ( smaller size due to bar range)
GU billy bar +0.5%
AU 06-00 H2 break low +1%
I had a good day yesterday with AU (+4.5%) so I decided to compound AU today using some of yesterdays gains. I'll have another crack compounding tomorrow.
I'm only looking for 0.5% daily so plenty of pips up my sleeve to offset any failed breaks if I cant be arsed unwinding them! although I could do with the practice
Now what to do for the rest of the evening....

Well I am just not sure yet how 1 trade a day on the BillyBar would work out in case of a fail or some more fails in a row.

Then, the 3% risk compared to a 1% target would not work out. Today risk was even more and i actually broke my own rules not taking a setup where the range is > 15 Pips.

Also not sure about the ADR regarding to a trade entry. If „only“ going for around 5 Pips it shouldn’t be much of interest if ADR for the day already reached more than 70,80,90%?

Stats. Yes I would love to have my own stats. I actually searched a few hours yesterday how I could do that.

I am looking for some tools here maybe allowing to create fd statistics on the tick data I have in a more easy way than counting past price candles manually and make some excel spreadsheet.

Like for example a tool/indicator I could run on the data I have that would show me

- Average Pip Range for single candle at specific time
- Average Pip Range for the next candle IF high/low broke.
- If one end of the candle broke and retraced before reaching X pips how many times it would reach X pips then on the opposite trigger

And things like that. This would probably give me more confidence then and also helps with my risk management strategy.

That sounds good bro, I think most challenging part is not to become greedy and stick to the plan.

{quote} thx billy! yes, the 08-00 bar trade is a great thing you found and i have implemeted it into my trading. years ago i was trading 28 pairs plus oil, indices, gold trading it with one approach. i went crazy with "symbol changer"indi and several monitors. nowadays i concentrate only on GU (volatile and small spread, no DAX, no EU) looking at m1, m5, m15, m30, h1, h4 and daily chart and different templates of the many great systems here from ff and other forums i have seen in the last years. for example if i see a range big bar i switch to tooslow`s...
My template, Mate? Which one? Post chart please. Cheers!

Hi TS

It's just the open of the 8.00 am bar and close at 8.15 - looking for a break thereafter.

Lem's gone missing again !

People that are bored waiting for the Billy Bar to come around again , try looking at UC at 1pm (UK time). This is Lem's dead Zone set up.

Most days it will break in one direction only for at least 5 pips. Sometimes a counter trade (stop and reverse) might be required. I say 5 pips but have a look - it appears to go for 10+.

Use your own discretion for SL. And also, if it fails twice, probably best to come back tomorrow. It works more often than not so the wins will overcome any potential losses.

Hope you're well Billy.

When looking at 4 hour trades, do you normally work on four one hourly bars? I can't seem to find a chart anywhere showing me a 4 hour chart that starts at midnight UK time if you know what I mean. Most of them start at 10pm the day before. Thanks.

good post, wins out weigh the losses, then we look around for plan B, as in daily range.

I use the 4 hour bar alone.
I posted charts earlier showing 2 hour bars, but I have been trading off the 2 today.

feel free to trade off 4 x1 hour bars, but don't let them interfere with your trade,
