Don't know, ewebb205, he probably does a lot of other things also.

I've been reading this thread for some time now and I've made it page 110. I typed the word Sunday on the search to see what I could find about trading this strategy on these days and I found 1 mention on it from lem if I'm not mistaken. My question is: is it a good idea to take setups on Sunday? Both of the trades I taken were losers and I followed the rules to the tee. I will post them in a sec

I don't pay much attention to time of day like Sunday. I generally make my trades during the early London market but again do no focus on that as much as how the market is moving and avoiding strongly trending markets against me. That's about all the advice I can give.

There is generally very low volume on Sundays. Spreads are usually bigger. There are plenty of better opportunities and it pays to have a life away from the screens at the weekend.

How do you always seem to pick the right pair and get in on such a small move beyond the open? I struggle to calculate a lot size and get in just trying to follow one. I mean I'm just running 0.01 lots ATM to try to get consistent wins, but the couple of times I've tried to work it out I need a bigger move just to have the time.

I cheat... First you are seeing my successful trades, I do have losers also. But, generally I get those good trades from having observed things. I look for certain patterns that pop up of the 10 pairs I keep an eye on. One is I like to see it return to a previous level, another may be a big bar. I will even take a trade on occasion on the same bar, which bends the rules but works too. I also try to steer clear of the strong moving trends. Most of the time I get it right to at least get that 5 pips then decide how to manage the trade from there which I vary. Also check to see how far back on this thread I have been trading it. Many that come into the thread try it out for several days or maybe several hours. And say it doesn't work and move on to threads with cooler "stuff" (wigglies and indicators). I have learned more over several years trying not to reinvent the wheel; rinse and repeat. This is a small part of my overall trading and it fits in nicely with the others, day after day.

it has a lot to do with training your eyes.

after 2-3 years you start to see the patterns.
trading is like dancing, don't think and just listen to the music!
