The Lord said or is it saith unto Moses.
The UK open break is a wonderful thing.
one can trade off the 1 minute bar after open, 5 min, even the one hour bar after open and of course the 15 minute bar. known as the Billy Bar.

that is the end of the bible sermon...... Koran version to follow. it is the same.

I have said many many times (Billy speaking) over the years, how good the uk open break trading is.
We have the quietness of the Asian session and then BANG, London opens and off we go.
The main thing with this open break, whether 15 mind,30 min 1 hour or any combination is that it is busting the Asian session.
ASIAN SESSION IS VERY IMPORTANT, Ive used this as my background to trade for years and years.
Then we have the daily range, or average daily range.
If we trade and it retraces , we can see where it will probably go.(Probably).
If you have sh*t entries and you get busted over and over , even i couldnt fix it.

Thats first part complete.

ahaa, we had a day where range was below 70, (69 pips) .on the 6th January.

But look what happened, the 00-00 4 hour bar low broke for approx 30/32 pips. i didnt need that many lol.
Last year we had days where range was less than 70, it doesnt matter....
sometimes our first trade goes in, if we run into short range, we have the following day.

Billy I love this stuff but it does tax the few grey cells I haven't yet managed to hunt down and annihilate with bad life choices...

Just chose a random tricky month to trade (August) and based it on when I trade (normally 630ish GMT onwards..)

So 22 trading days gives me:

13 days that had a total daily range over 70
9 days that had a total daily range under 70

ALL 22 trading days did make 70 with the longest taking 3 days

2 trades took 3 days
7 trades took 2 days
13 days took 1 day (same trading day)

There were 6 days without fails with just a single entry winning trade
4 days with 2 fails
2 days with 3 fails
1 day with 1 fails
and one outlier on Tuesday the 24th with 9 fails (was this a bank holiday I can't remember?!)

On the occurrence of a daily range not reaching 70 (which was 9 days) it exceeded 70 6 times on following day
On the occurrence of a daily range exceeding 70 (which was 13 days) it exceeded 70 5 times on the following day

The biggest 00-04 range was 46 and the smallest was 11

The single winner (no fail) trades had ranges from 15 to 34

Singles winner 3 buys and 3 sells

Single failed trades had ranges from 13 to 29 - 4 were final buys and 3 were final sells (so no actual sell or buy bias IMHO)

Sorry for the ramble but it helps me to write these things down..

There's more to be mined I'm sure but the kettle is calling me

once you start keeping stats, you'll comprehend more.
I say 70 range as a(imaginary range). that isnt my actually imaginary No lol, but it is very very close.
right now range is approx 45, even if it stays like that. i made my money off the first break of the 00-00 4 hour bar. and i know you made more.
i need the range for when a fail appears.

Yes I'll keep digging, I need to firm up a strategy around this and can see the light.. It all boils down to how you handle the fails whichever way you look at it I think? Those stats I put up, even with that horrendous 9 fail day overall it still came out in profit at the end of the month, that's without any counters, larger trade sizes etc..
