Roadmap is going well. The channel focuses my eyes and a break is the discipline to do something. I am aware of lines from the left ( 5 minute consolidation highs on a five-minute chart prior to UK or US open). I suppose its down to previously drawn lines ? These lines mitigate the fear of live trading because they contain my decisions. I then drop a buy or sell order above or below such lines and wait. And one can wait some time after the flurry of opens, for price to settle or break sideways drift. Same with USA -initial action first couple of hours then doldrums then action later in the day. So it's two hours after open then look two hours before close. Laura has a new thread attracting many hopefuls with the idea of a more fixed approach
( albeit some are adding bits already) - but Roadmap suits me - it contains the ethos of bits' of Billy's thread - lines. Discipline to do nothing is key for me. I read a book or listen to radio while at my desk.
I like TradeStation Web - few indicators unlike desk model - but you can trade off the chart and online staff are helpful.
Don't post on Laura's thread now. Few people talk to each other, instead they clamour for teachers attention( especially the new thread). So I got fed up talking to myself

This bloke might interest people -trades off levels. Posts live US open for an hour.

I have spent way to much time looking at charts and feeling the need to be trading in the past. For the last 18 moths or so I have just concentrated my attention on 3 methods at fixed times of the day. Each one of these methods has an edge in the long term. That isnt to say that I dont look for other edges that could be developed. Less trades seem to equate to more profit and less stress.

{quote} Welcome aboard. A while back I added a post at the beginning of the thread that has a breakdown of the main methods contained in the thread with page and post numbers as to where and when they were first mentioned. This also includes a few notes on the methods themselves. I'd start there and see if anything takes your fancy and then (once you've read those pages, please) you can come back and ask questions.
Thanks for the warm welcome.

I noticed that you wrote 'The Billy Bar just keeps on truckin' and anyone coming here in search of The Light, or hey, just a way to make some steady bucks, should start there or the AU H4.' I recall the Billy Bar applies to the cable whereas the AU H4 applies to the AU and there is a GU variant.

Do you have 1 or 2 methods that are compatible with across instruments that you use more often that would be good for me to start on? Thanks again and lots to study up on

Happy to hear claudia1 or anyone with some trading experience's input too.

I'm out and about today and I will get back to you in more detail later but for now, I would say that the two methods you mention - The Billy Bar and AU H4 break - are good starting points, offering stable methods that offer two different styles of trading depending on your own trading mindset.

Add Claudia's new take on The NOT The Billy Bar with the FTSE and that should be enough to give you something to work with.

My own personal trading now consists mainly of scalping tick or 1-min charts and is not very newcomer friendly.

As Mr-T mentioned, he has adapted and morphed Laura's Roadmap to his own style and that method is very accomodating, as is her new Daylight one (which in its turn is basically Rockypoint's %r Williams thingy). Either / or, or a combo of those would work.

I would just add be aware of the news releases - we have FOMC later today and then a busy night on AUD. Anything could happen.

Back to Ascot - got a 2/7 win yesterday with Gosden lol is it worth it !!

Thanks Lem. Happy to hear more when you return later.

Correct me if I am wrong, although the Billy Bar and AU h4 break and the NOT the Billy Bar are all traded on a single instrument. For example, the Billy Bar is traded with GU at 08:00 - 08:15 and the NOT the Billy Bar is traded with FTSE at 07:45 -08:00. I had a look in this thread and couldn't find statistics regarding their success. Could someone direct me to whether such statistics exist? I am also curious about whether this edge may erode over time.

Have Laura's two methods been tested for long?

Good on the win...though I don't think I've ever backed anything near those short odds, lol.

Billy has done all the statistical legwork for us. Take his word for it as there are various reasons why he can't share the stats here. It is what it is. Either accept it, or move on.

Laura's threads haven't existed for very long but the methods she runs are solid and are basically a refreshing of concepts and methods that have been around since God was a boy.

As noted on page #1, the thing to also understand, is that this is a special kind of thread...it's not really a method-learning thread but more of a place for us small group of like-minded traders to hang out and chew the fat.

Lem I just read page 1 - presume you wrote it and mailed to Wandering William. Really needs an update but how ? Been down this road before have we not and Twee won't let it be edited (quite right to be fair). Oh well does it matter.

Back to Ascot.

Lol it could well be. You know there's more posts here about Wandering William than trading.
Funny though and he's sure got some reading to do if and when he gets released - oops I mean returns.
