You’re saying the high broke for 30+? You must be looking at the wrong range. Are you perhaps looking at the range from 10pm to 2am UK time?
Sorry for the misunderstanding, my broker time is GMT +2. So i guess i canīt look at the H4 candle that opens at 00 and closes at 04.

So i have to switch to a H1 chart and look at this range right? 02 AM - 06 AM on my chart (brokers time). It broke for 14,4. The low broke for 0.9.

I originally started to look at the 12 PM - 16 PM on my chart, that would be 10 AM -14 PM (UK Time).

It looks interesting too, at least if one end breaks the opposite ends seems not to get touched often. So trading this like the BillyBar looking for 5-10 Points as a alternative might be good for me too.

Especially in terms of trading times this would suit better to me. The break would most likely happen within the NY open which is still afternoon my time and i am not sleeping then

I might need to take stats here first. I looked for January only so far, and it looks quiet good to me.

looks about right but you have 5 bars in your range. So for you I think it would be the bar that starts at 2am, and the last one would be the one that starts at 5am. Four 1-hourly bars. Billy’s last few posts have been excellent. Look at the way he’s playing it. Following the high and low and scalping using 5 minute bars.

Problems start arising if the first break fails, and then the second break fails too. With all these range break methods, you need to have a mental cut off because if you keep increasing your lot size, you could be down quite a bit very quickly after 3 or 4 breaks.
I think about starting my day with the BillyBar at higher lot size and taking the first initial break high or low looking for +5.

If that (plan a) fails i would have to counter it at the opposite end or take SL.

Like you say, things start to get ugly if the these breaks fail to hit your target.

So how to come around/compensate for it.

Now that i understand a bit bettter about countering i could think of locking-in the first break of the BillyBar at the opposite end, then move on by either trading the second break seperately for +5 again for the same position size.

BUT, not countering it again. So if the second break has problems too, maybe take a fixed SL faster depending on what i see. Maybe i should be out for maximal -5 Pips then instead of letting it retrace once again for another 20 and having to counter it too.

So i end up -25 at the BillyBar for high lots at max. -20 (locked-in) -5 as a fixed stop loss.

My plan b now would be to use the 00-04 range breakout (happening the next morning) trying to fix the -25 locked-in by releasing the positive side of the countered trade as soon as the 00-04 would break for the second time. Then hope for the remaining negative floating side of the failed BillyBar trade to move back in my favor with this new signal until i am break even.

For sure if the second break doesnīt happens the next day I would have to wait and keep the failed BillyBar trade locked-in.

I am just not sure if a plan c, d, e, f wouldnīt be still needed then, because plan b could fail too. That's were i still hang...

Ah i see, yes i included one too many there. Should be 02 including 05 then.

I see what Billy has posted. I am not too sure about switching to even another time frame chart to do something there i have no plan of. "Play" is no option for me, i think Billy is retired already so he is allowed to play

Something that might help you and others on the thread as well, have a look at the fails of the Billy bar for the past few months. Then look at the range breaks of 12-4am either for the same day or the day after (minimum 10 pip target). I think you’ll find that it is very rare that both trades fail on the same day. So in theory we should be able to fix the Billy bar fail with the 12-4am range break on the same day. This can fail as well which is why it is important to not keep opening new, larger positions to compensate. If you do look at the stats, maybe share them on the thread, I’m sure people would appreciate it. The stats for the 12-4am break would obviously have to be for later in the day, after the Billy bar officially fails.

Back to limited time at charts again...work stuff....slim pickings for me today.

First this morning on Dax pre-open - price had bounced off the top of a previous hourly high at least twice before, so I entered on the next bounce with sight SL, anticipating a bit of a reaction, and got 6.5 pips.

Dax then went bonkers!! Fun to watch...(those who could)

Second one just there now. US100 +3 momo drop from supply to demand.

Hi all. Claudia/Michael, just noticed you are both using slightly different ranges on AJ. Michael uses the break of the 10pm to 12am range I believe, and Claudia uses the 12am to 2am range as far as I can tell. Both appear to work though
Hi mate.
I pinched this concept from Claudia, so I was assuming we traded the same.

I trade the range of the first two hours after NY Close.(not sure how that equates to your time)

I didn't trade it today, as the range was about 20 pips (approx 30% of the ADR) so it was a bit big for my liking.
Plus...it's a Bank holiday in Aus today.
On top of that, the low of the range was a bit too close to the weekly pivot fib, and the big pin bar from yesterday suggested (to me anyway) that a short trade would possibly/probably have a rough chance of success.

EDIT: I would have got my +4 as it turned out, so my concerns weren't warranted lol.

Nice one bud.
I woke up quite early and have managed a couple of short scalps on Cable and Dax lol.
Scalping is now my latest craze.
Actually it isn't, it is a form of fixing which I used to do after a Fail. AND it's quite close to how my bots work. Abs that's enough of that.
I wonder uf/when Dax will go back up. I'm all set yaaay.

{quote} Hi W, good question. i actually thought we might have problems, BUT, i was actually concentrating on the scalping. Sometime very soon i am going to hit a scalp using my big trade, not the tenner lol. edit, we have no news today, nor do we need it as it might screw us over, lol
Morning Billy, Sorry for the late reply.

Was there anything in particular that made u think we could have problems? Just asking out of curiosity, always open to learn more

Seems like u are enjoying the scalping

You will hit +5 most of the time. What is your typical spread for GU, you pay for commissions too?
