Great system, seems to work quite well on gbpusd.

I also find that the time setting for GMT is 4am to 7am.

Nice work

I love Pizza's

So then the NYC time is ACTUALLY 11pm to 2am???

In other words, the indicator STOPS measuring the range at 3am (London open)?

I had it set from 12am to 3am, so the indicator didn't stop price measurment until 4am....

Eagle,

Could you give us a list of the pairs that you trade? I know from the past posts that you trade:

AUD/USD
EUR/GBP
EUR/USD
GBP/USD
USD/CAD
USD/CHF
USD/JPY

Are there any other currencies which you trade?

Thanks

It's confusing. It always is when time is given in anything other than plain unadulterated GMT.

On an hourly chart, the indicator draws the box ONE bar to the left of the actual bar that begins the measurement.

It draws it at 0400 GMT.

The first bar that is being measured starts at 0500 GMT.

The last bar that is measured ends a 07:59:59 GMT.

Again, the box will be one bar wider than the actual measurement window.


After piecing everything together, I believe this is correct.

Eagle,

I don't see any winning breakout on my 1H chart of AUD/USD. I am at GMT+1 like you. Could you clarify this please? Do you use any other indicatiors? Or are you using any other time frame like Daily of 4H?

Make sure your indicator is setup for the correct time parameters...

AUD?USD is a very clear short for over 20 pips today....

Eagle,

My Italian isn't perfect, but I do speak a little bit of the language. If you need any help with anything feel free to ask.

Mio italiano non è perfetto, ma parlo un po della lingua. Se hai bisogno d'aiuto con qualche cosa, puoi chiedere.

I have to differ with you.

I have mine set up exactly as Eagle said to and I only see 6 pips on the short.

Hi guys, just wanted to know how u guys entered the trades. Do you wake up and watch the trade or do you place buy/sell stops?

Also, isnt meta trader on GMT time? If so won't u just have to place the indicator in and use the same settings? The only change should be when this occurs in your local time as far I as I am aware.

It depends on the broker what times are shown on the MT4 charts.
The only one I know that uses GMT time is IBFX.

At the 3am EST bar, (London open) it opened at 8777, low was 8753.. Bottom of the box was at 8771.... easy 15 pips...

Remember, you should have your box so it STOPS measuring at the London open...

Eagle will correct me if I am wrong...
