Hey billy
I was tempted by that myself but left it alone. That would have sorted my failed break high

Everything was screaming at me to not take the high break, but I felt there was a push to get to the daily pivot. Anyway, we are in a counter situation. Let's see.

Hi everyone, you may ask questions but not about Trading, lol

i had to work for my gains today.

08-00 15 bar break, the high break was a trick and it failed, so adjusted low to 15, i managed a point then high got the 5% ,
then i had the cable short running and e/u long.
e/u was a peach and helped out.

AND, guess what, my 08-00 15 low trade, i had a stop on, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Really??? yes Really. lol
i have done,

A line is a line Billy lol. Anyway, managed to get back from -12 to +2. All trades now closed. It took 4 trades (no doubling of lot sizes involved lol).

That's the Billy Bar trade done and dusted. Now let's try hourly breaks. Still fancy short, but a line is a line .

Dax,
i have been watching the monster for a few weeks now.
watching the 15 minute bar breaks after the 08-00 has close.
We have had many many good breaks with lots of pips made.
BUT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, we have had a couple of fails.
These fails i believe will kill us.

i could not trade them good, even the method i use.

So i am thinking, maybe as a play trade, similar to putting loose change in a slot machine.
If you feel like a play, a jaunt, a bit of fun, trade the 15 break.
See what happens.
I wont. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

{quote} Simply always only trade away from the weekly open. Monday is either a no-trade day or a neutral/trade first-come-first-served day. You need to be certain that whatever pair(s) you use do not have spread widening or it will play havoc with your trades. Just FYI, there is also a variant that runs off of the open of every hour.
Thanks Lem. Observation - when price break the high or low of previous 1 hour bar, it usually goes for 2-5 pips minimum, but sometimes a lot more (disclaimer - this is just a visual observation, I have no concrete facts to back it up). Is that the sort of thing you are alluding to here? Or is it another buy zone variant? Cheers.

For people who love placing counters on (I am one of them lol), here's an idea that may or may not work for you. Try it on demo perhaps.

1) At the open of every hour, place a buy and a sell as close to each other as possible. Wait for the hour to be up. Close the profitable trade.
2) New hour starts. If new hourly bar breaks out (maybe breakout + 3 pips to avoid fakeouts) in the direction that you took profit, buy/sell again. If not, your other open trade will slowly reverse until you are in profit overall.

Obviously be mindful of important levels (daily open, Pivot, DS1, DR1 etc). And keep an eye on your ADR.

good post.
Just a point.
i trade as little as possible, main trade win close out (maybe fix)., lets forget about hunt the daily range.
If you don't trade you don't lose.
Once you have a series of trades you have more chance to lose.
Just saying, you have a good approach.
