I am still -30 (-$870) from beginning of the week. Moday's fail booked me in -17, the recovery/fix from that i got stopped out for another -12 later the day. Then no further trades until here.

Will be hard to beat. Anyone? One day to go, but me making 30 Pips on a Friday? Wooh. Hopefully at least not ending with another -17 or so if taking tomorrows setup.

Wizzle, e/u from yesterday Wed. {image}T = trigger range of 00-00 4 hour bar. low broke =1. retraced back up to break high. =2 when we started speaking i said we could enter a retrace trade at =3 and up it went to break high at =4. Then it dropped and broke 00-00 low at =5 for more.lol Then it went back up to break 00-00 high at =6. I do trade trades like this, BUT NOT THIS YESTERDAY.
Thank you again Billy, that was helpful.

I'm assuming these are ideas to help fix potential bad trades ?

originally, i would trade my method which was the break of the e/j daily,,, then a/u 04-00 bar and now the 08-00.
IF we got the fail we then move onto chase the daily range.o90r leave it until the day after.

With the daily range chase, we may of had and still have, opportunities to trade an inside bar break on the 4 hour or daily.
When fixing we may end up with a lot more than we lost.

Trading. cable 08-00 break, high broke and failed, it was a sneaky high break lol. i manually adjusted the 08-00 bar to 15 then shorted. i got +5% and then set about fixing the minus 15. all is well.
Hi Billy!
Just a quick question abt today's 0800 15min Bar.. based on my chart below it didn't break the 0800 high (orange arrow).. is there anything wrong with my candle?

Hi D, hope you are well.
your chart is good BUT.............................. drum rolllllllll.
08-00 bar High is 14160.7 <<<<<<<<<<<< my trigger was 14160 NOT INCLUDING THE Point 7.
The high broke by next bar which went to 14160.5 VERY SNEAKY. so high triggered then retrace back down to fail.

This has happened again today with the 00-00 range. Cable bad boy today due to uncertainty.
Some people like to use a buffer ,i dont.
Just 1 point is equal to 20% of my 5 range.

Oke, understood...I think

Am I correct in summing it up as follows: Trade for a "quick and easy" +5 of the BillyBar. If you made +5 you (could) call it a day. If you did loose on the first break of the BillyBar, you now go on to fix (make up for the loss) the trade with other triggers, aiming for more than +5 in search of the daily range ?

If the above is correctly assumed, I think the chasing of the daily range is something for me to look in to again.

you've got it.
Price is always going somewhere. (most of the day).
We have a daily range every day.
OK, cable just lately has been hard.
With Brexit and Mr Trump with a dash of Boris trading was made a lot easier, that is why i started messing around chasing the daily range.
Normally it is get +5% then get out.

don't forget that 5% = Ģ700.
Trade well.

Roger, thank you Billy. Now the question how to actually capture this daily range.. Some of my other strategies involving wick zone, round numbers and pivot points (all traded very similarly) have been reasonable at capturing +30, perhaps I could use this.
shall search the thread for clues again

It's been another scrappy (but still positive) day for me. I'm tempted to chase a pop up to 1.42 but think I will regret it.

I'm not though, I have some grass (of the lawn type) to sow, and I might watch that grow instead.

Roger, thank you Billy. Now the question how to actually capture this daily range
It is that i asked my self too. "Chasing the daily range" sounds cool but without a trigger it would be nothing more than trading what you see / feel, maybe call it scalping based on the price action you feel/see in the moment?

It is exactly what i was/am doing trying to fix for the fails i have on the 08-15 trigger. However with doing it like that your entries might be not based on any statistical based triggers/edge anymore.

So chasing the daily range, great, but where to enter/exit there?

Did it work for me so far, yes. Some days better some days not so good. The problem here is that i donīt find any kind of routine with it doing it that way and also often leaded to many losses in a row i than had to fix as well.

Scrappy is the word, normal days we would of had more movement, ie range. but still time.
i am not looking at cable yet, only the 08-00.
