{quote} do you mean Breakout and retest Erebus. Or there is something more characteristic we common traders should notice immediately on these charts. I don't have that much data H1 back on MT4 to check what history before of your chart, so I guess only

{quote} Nothing to do with technical analysis, take no notice of that chart; that comment was about the way Nick Shawn @ MissionFX made those entries; they were strictly brute force, no analysis, just telling the market that it was wrong, and he was right. You probably need to have followed his Telegram back then, or at least all the associated posts in that thread. Good Luck.

{quote} Yes you can but you wont be paid the dividend. There are literally hundreds of ways to trade the divivend but you should just practice for a few months with small amounts. Also as an example --- lets say you are short the ftse and lets say you went short at £2 and you are up 30points -- so your profit is £60 Now it drops 10points for the dividend ... now you are plus £80 on your trade but you will lose £20 as the dividend is 10points, hope it makes sense --- the £20 is taken from your account

{quote} Why am I getting the 3rd degree interrogation about that chart? And I'm not the only one, I don't really know what you are after; I certainly do not approve of HEDGING. But you seem to be really interested in HEDGING and yet you blocked Nick Shawn? Watch his videos on YouTube. The inserted Telegram image in black is from Nick, the arrows point to the price levels that he entered those trades; chart is only for that, nothing to do with anything about me or price action. That is what I expect you to see in that chart.

{quote} In your example of why not short/long trade after 16:30 we dont know how long the dividend filling take place, and if broker slip the quote during so if you short before the dividend timing, could you get out with your full profit, if you calculate to going long after 14;30 could you get your entry at 10 points dividend filled? or broker would re quote and let you buy somewhere near to top of the valley, then correct the market down heavily again causing loss on your opportunistic buy

{quote} Those EAs have nothing to do with any div trade, they just open and start hedging/averaging when a candle of a certain sizes forms. They don't use a stoploss and were made more as an experiment to see what happens when you don't use a stoploss over a longer period and use a simple random generator. I think if anyone is going to use EAs for any aspect of trading they need to be able to make them/code themselves as there will always be scenarios where they need tweaking for the individual, I use fxDreema so you might want to look there.

{quote} CAC div Well no big surprise, I'm in on this one. Back testing stats put to the test given the surrounding potential draw down from HTF. Fingers crossed ... nah ... it will either work or it won't - I'll stick with the stats. {image}

{quote} we dont know how long the dividend filling take place exactly, nobugger will ever know how long it will take to fill, sometimes 30mins sometimes 30hrs so if you short before the dividend timing, could you get out with your full profit, no, if you are short looking to profit on the dividend drop you will be deducted the dividend from your account balance immediately. So the other way to trade it is to 4get about the dividend then start buying after the drop Hope im explaining it well enough,...

{quote} If the schedule and dividend distribution has remained the same for a few years, I can easily create the expert advisor and do a backtest and get all these statistics and share them with the forum, for manual trading. The gap not present in the history it's not a big deal, it's not for testing the dividend, but the after retrace for filling
