{quote} Be careful with the 4 hour bar. What you see will more than likely be different to Billy due to location/time zone. Hope that makes sense.
Thank you Claudia..

{quote} Hi Billy how are you. When you say 00.00 breakout is the best, you mean 00-04? When you open a trade. What stop and to you use. I readed this forum, but I don't find this answer clear. And can you explain how you compound your profits daily?

Hello and welcome O.
Sorry for the late response but i had to go out on a mission.
Correct, 00-00 bar/candle is the 00-00 to 04-00 candle, the 4 hour candle UK time. it opens 8 hours before the uk market open and closes 4 hours before the uk market open. I hope this helps.
As Claudia pointed out, check your chart supplier so you are 100% in sync.
trade well.

7.45 high broke, i went long, it came down, added to long, low broke, went short, price went up so closed long and added short, then price came down, closed short. in total got 30+pips.
think it depends more on managing risk. Price will give you opportunity to enter and exit, but if you are within the risk, you can make it, else blow acc.

Hi , You did well.
I no longer add to a (fail) i did a long time ago.
i counter/hedge and trade each break as a new trade . <<<<< that is contradictory plus i always get my 1% first.
Today looked messy but i stick to my method and when i have a fail, i always make more fixing. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay,
trade well you had a good one .

so do you close previous failed trade when opening new trade? if so, then to counter loss, you might have to increase your size...
yeh, today was messy, otherwise on normal days, its clean break on side allowing more pips to capture..

i always make my 1% even when fixing.
Once i am in profit everything gets closed down.
Yes i do increase size sometimes , but like i said i counter/hedge and count these trades as separate.
Trade well.

AND look at the 6:45am bar on the Dax today ( Yes - you look it up). It was a real pip maker that made up for any not so fantastic days recently.

Got to be careful taking trades pre-market open due to high spreads, but it is a good thing to trade. As said before I'm putting orders in both ways.

billy, if i understand you correctly, you make between 2-3% a day, so 10-15% in the week.

yesterday you had to fix a fail and after an initial -14% you still turned the day around in the plus. so you made up at least +15% from the low!

Wouldn't it be logical and smart to only make a fixing trade once or twice a week and thus reach 15-30% with less effort?

or have I overlooked something?

Hi bud, Your post is one of the best posts i have ever read on FF.
It makes a lot of sense BUT NOT FOR ME, horses for courses.

I could also add,,i actually trade my trade five times higher than i should due to compounding. i stuck at 5 times due to the massive margin required.
Plus, we do not know what will happen tomorrow.
Brilliant post, Trade Well.

Come on, it's an average post!

But as I understand it, you'd rather have your experience of success every day than only once or twice a week;-)

t 08-39 uk.
Cable, both my 07-45 and 08-00 15 minute bar breaks where good. Low broke on both for %%.

Lets watch this 08-00 15 minute bar/candle plus the 00-00 to 04-00 4 hour candle.
See what happens in relation to the daily range.
daily range so far is 40.
Trade well All.

T 1013 uk
Cable 15 min chart just copied..
4= the 00-00 to 04-00 4 hour range.
1 = the 07-45 15 minute candle.
2 = the 08-00 15 minute candle.

My point i make is, the 08-00 candle uk market open , low broke and then the high broke.
Lets see more. the daily range is 64 approx.
