Strat is trading the continuation of the london trend So you are looking for something like this {image} or this {image} the market has to be trending during the london session and when NY wakes up , it has to continue in the same direction. your trade is way too late in the day to get any move. at those hours the markets are pretty quiet
I'll have to check, but I thought strat was trading the just after NY lunch hours.

Having said that, I've noticed the last couple of hours of the NY session can give a few pips, enough for a good 1:2 risk reward or more sometimes. It'd be handy if I could work it out enough to consistently make something right at the start of my day like that.

GBPAUD 15 Minuite trading 08-jan-2021

1. Traded directly into 200ema. Oops, I keep not noticing it unless I'm looking for it. However price did close above resistance, above the SS, and had failed to break lower on H4 and H1.

2. Could've got out at BE or better, as there was no momentum, but it didn't close below the 72EMA so let it go for the next candle. The candle after was the opportunity to get out with minimal loss, but also says the bulls are fighting.

And stopped out.

EURJPY 15 minuite trading 11-jan-2021

All the usual applies. Red line is London open, drew S/R when I focused on the EURJPY.

1. Entry on push away from resistance. Appear to have stuffed up the calculation on the stop somehow, it's about 10% larger lot size than it should be.
Moved to BE at 1:1 risk:reward. Either it drops from here, or I am out.


Closed, it's just bouncing along the support and I need to sleep.

that is actually really good
notice that once London opens with a 5min bullish candle it fails to continue upwards right away. your entry is very good with a very tight stop to risk

Hi there bistolis, thank you for the compliment. I saw it had broken the support on the 1hr and though there were enough confluences to try it. Might cross post it to the main thread.

EURNZD 15 minuite trading 12-Jan-2021
All the usual stuff applies.

1. If that isn't a sell I don't know what is, but it does make for a big stop.

An hour later and it's looking like I've picked the one EUR pair that doesn't want to drop, meanwhile there were trades in nearly every other of the 9 most volitive of strat's pairs.

Moved to BE plus 2 pips, I'm going to let it run while I go sleep. TP is down near the next support about 80% of the 20 day ADR.

EDIT: Stopped out.

EURUSD 1hr trade.

Short as indicated by the arrow, shooting star from the resistance. Target last low. 25 pip stop and about a 50 pip target.

EDIT: Moved to BE. It's been doing nothing much the last hour and I'm ready for bed.

EDIT2: TP hit overnight.

EURAUD 15min trading 13-Jan-2021

Red line is the candle BEFORE London open this time, otherwise it obscures my trade. Everything else as normal.

1. My entry. Little nervous having two trades involving the Euro going at the same time. Will be moving this to BE by the immediate support and round number.
Came pretty bloody close to my stop, and looking at higher time frames I'm trading into a pretty significant weekly support. I'll let it run, but not expecting much.

I've got to remember the market doesn't tend to show it's hand untill about an hour after London open.

Closed when it came back up to the entry price. It's just not moving at all.

EURJPY 15min trading 14-Jan2021

The usual applies. Red line London open, S/R drawn before the open this time.

1. Entry on shooting star rejecting resistance and top of the little range it's in.

Ouch. Went directly to within half a pip of my stop, only didn't get stopped out because I added the spread. With the 1 and 4 hour timeframes down that was unexpected.

And finally stopped out.

Are you trying to tell me I traded directly into support? I'm having a hard time working out the time frame of those two charts.

I was looking back at it and thinking the entry wasn't really a shooting star, it didn't stand out from the rest of the candles.

If I'd been willing to stay up past midnight my time to manage it there was an easy 1:3 on the table, or 1:5 if i'd got a perfect exit.

The marked entry was bang on midnight my time.

well sometimes we should just be careful when all the timeframes are not aligned

and maybe pick something that looks much better at that point in time.

Thanks mate, I'm still struggling with the getting out right away if there's now momentum.

EURAUD 4hr entry, pending order a few pips below the indicated candle, as it was retracing back up when I got up. Trying to get in on a continuation, but if price goes above that candle I'll cancel the order.

EDIT: First London open 4hr candle looks a lot like it's going to hit my stop. With less than 15 pips left to go I'll let it run.

GBPUSD 15 minuite trading 19-Jan-2020

Red line is the candle before London open. etc. etc.

1. Screams sell to me... TP at next support.

2. Closed after this candle, should've done it the candle before. Now momentum in the direction I traded.

3. Re-entry with same TP as before. Stopped out.

Managed to pick the one GBP pair that's not doing anything.


Last chart is the example of the difference. GBPNZD had a clear entry straddling the SS, but I didn't "see" it. Look how far it's gone so far.
