I know what you mean about the overtime, I do about 20 hours a month, volunteered to do the crappy shift at work 2pm ill 10pm because it gives me a chance to trade the euro open and this week the US open (just). So I get home late, get to bed later and get up at 6:30am for Euro open!

Were all in this together!

hehe
Yeah I noticed that your schedule -- although you're in the UK !!! -- is the same as mine (I'm in Canada) meaning you start at the same time I do (me @ 8:00am EST) but you're 5 hours ahead of me (so for you it's 13:00) and finish at the same time (but you're still 5 hours ahead of course LOL which makes it 22h pm).

I made myself a little Excel thing to keep track of time in various places, dunno if I can attach the actual Excel file, but here's the jpg. Just print it on a 8 1/2 x 11 or A4 size paper, then fold it in half, then refold each half, then you can make yourself a triangle-like thing to put on your desk (you need to staple things together).

Well it's probably not been a normal august month for guppy with the carry trade situation but I was meaning intra day volatility, I like to trade the breakouts around euro open and lately this has been a bit crappy hence my quick trades on US open before going to work.

I am soooo looking forward to a repeat of last weeks action! the 5min charts were giving pips away!
OK intraday, I follow you. But even then, some days, wow, could have made mega pips in 10 minutes. I kept calculating at work (when I couldn't trade, nothing installed) that yup this afternoon between 14h and 17h I coulda made 1,514$ in 2 hours and figures of that sort. Quite irritating LOL.

Thanks for the clock link. I've looked up a lot of these but they all bug me for some reason, hence my Excel file. But I'll go check yours out.

I'm also going to check out the 10 mins with DMI 10. Why not improve a SUPER system ? LOL that's being mega greedy:

For the record for next week I have 10 min, 30 min and 4 hour charts open for guppy and I'm gonna trade all of them. Say i'm on a nice long on the 30 min or 4 hour i can also scalp the retracements on the 10 mins. Maybe I am being greedy!

Hmmmmmmm yes I would qualify that as being a greedy attitude. You want to get everything AND get everything at the same time, get it while it's going up and get it while it's going down in short get EVERYTHING POSSIBLE lol. You're like me (or I'm like you) whatever. We see potential EVERYWHERE.

However, one needs hedging options for this (going short and long at the same time) and my brokers (haven't decided on which one yet) don't allow this. Never could understand why, what's their bother if I hedge anyway?

Of course, just open up 2 accounts (or more) and the problem's solved (except you need enough margin in all accounts.......) Ooops problem not solved yet

it`s impressive indeed the results you guys got this week, i have a small question, which timeframe would you recommend to use? Also has anyone noticed that the qqe alert in vt is different in the crosses from the one in metatrader?
and for the timeframes of 4hrs or 1hr the trading hours would be intraday or 24hrs?, thanks.

I have live account with cms and they allow hedging, I have it auto set so if I sell while I have a long position already open it will hedge my position.

but your right that is being a bit greedy. More opportunity though hehe

yeah I know, I've demoed on accounts that "allow" hedging and it's just great. Again, why all brokers don't "allow" this is beyond me.

Here's a table I found a little while back on average daily volatilities. Can't remember where I got it, sorry I'm not citing the author (I usually cut and paste the site where I get things).

I had to JPG it, cause FF won't allow for Excel files (unknown file format or something - too bad cause then you can't sort the data etc.) Anyway, it's sorted by highest volatily first. Guess what, GBPJPY comes out first lol.

Here is something else of interest. This time I've included the source. You might want to check out the site for more current data. The data here is a bit old (yikes, 1 month = old hehehe)

Again, the yen pairs stand out.

LOL Acko,

I don't have either an attic or garage (which keeps me out of trouble accumulating stuff hehehe). But you should see the house tho. Nah I won't make a SCREEN SHOT of my house !!!! But I'll just tell you this, since you're my intimate friend hehe, in my tiny office from where I'm now typing this, I have so MANY PILES OF STUFF that even our DOG (a mature golden retriever) does NOT enter cause he's too afraid of a cataclysmic event happening if a pile decides to BADABOUM and then we enter into a major domino effect. And that's just my office.

Except I understand my own chaotic system. And everytime I decide to put some order into this mess, then I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING ANYMORE !
