i am not too sure about the 16-00 fix,,,,, at one time it had merit but i have watched it many times and i just don/t see anything useful.

But saying that, i have normally finished trading by then.

Where the heck do the time go? I've been painting and taking photographs again and just completely lost track of time. Idiot.

I somehow managed to miss the action I was waiting on via the NDX100 and that thing - being a cousin of The DAX - is far too dangerous to go chasing random possibles, so I will have to wait till tomorrow.

Anyway, I did get the DZ, though that involved a bit of fast-foot-shuffle involving Wick Zones but the ultimate pay off once it made up its mind more than made up for any hassle.

Dead Zone UC Short Bias.

Overnight, there had been the Buy Zone plays, which did what was expected...well, apart from one no-trigger.

Other than that, had my usual EA running (EURAUD not one...of...them...) in The Other Galaxy and all good there, so if a day can be quiet and busy at the same time, it was for me.

Yes.. great post, I know how you feel,
I have tried all sorts of methods & strategies over the years,
Breakouts are good for me as there are fixed rules,
Have you tried Grid trading ?? Another one that I think is great.
Good luck m8.

Hi all
a couple of charts from last night
Cable: plain sailing trading breaks of H4 and H2 candles 3 trades for +20P. I normally would have been happy with the first trade only but I was stuck trying to fix EU so I took the extra pips that were on offer.
EU: As I mentioned yesterday, got caught short being greedy but worked out ok in the end for +17P

This was a good experience for me as normally when I end up with a fail, I'm frantically trying to scalp etc to try and rectify it as quick as possible and therefore ending up in a mess!
But last night I took it slow and zoomed out to the H2 and worked it from there. I may have been lucky!
Cheers

Double your lot size or increase it with smaller amount. using winnings.
If you have a set method it is easier to do,
ie , i do it off the 00-00 and 08-00 bar. If i tried it off 12-00 i would be lost.
Trade well.
