Dear ITB. Thank you for the WOW thread. I spent 2 weeks to read all pages and I will try to run on demo account.

Please let me ask 2 questions before I start to trade.
1. The timeframe to trade.
I can spend only 3, 4 hours a day to trade on NewYork session open.
Is H4-H1-M15 suitable to me?
I often trade on M5 however I feel your strategy is more suitable on M15.

2. Risk management.
I see you are using DCA method.
Do you think about fixed SL and TP method?
I think I will set SL and TP on every valid entry on M30 and M15 if the RR > 1.5 with 1% risk on SL.
That means I will have some setups with different entry, SL, TP, volume but the risk is same.

i tell you the real thing.
reading is one thing. even trading this for 6 - 12 months will be difficult for someone new to this method.

1. h4 h1 m15 is fine. also use m5 for entry because some times you do not see the set up in m15. just switch between the two.
trading NY session is tricky because many times we can't interpret the news. london session is easier to interpret the news.
also have to know what happened in the london and asia sessions.
there are news at 8.30am, nyse open at 9.30am, sometimes 10am news.
by the time things settle down will be 10am or 10.30am.

2. if i do not have the time to sit in front of computer i use DCA.
if i have the time, i have the trades with much higher lot size aiming for about 50 pips for gold.
today i already mentioned the SL and TP.

Thank you for the answer.
I understood the good time to trade and your TP, SL method.
However, London session is really hard for me because I am at the company in that time.

CPI data was higher than expected which put doubt on the rate cut of 50 point basis or higher. Now, if the PPI also beats the expectation, then any rate cut in next week's FOMC will be in serious doubt. To clear the ALL-TIME high, a clear indication of a rate cut of at least 50 bps is needed, just a thought.
