Hi all,
Could any buddy kindly tell me which EA trade live GBP/JPY orders now?
It will be profitable,if EA works perfect
ele
If you find any EA that is public, free and constantly profitable (at least end each month in profit), please let me know, I'll pay you $1000. So far I haven't found any. That's why I make my own, which is far from perfect yet.

According to Gann theory when something is tested 3 time it breaks hard
It breaks the 3rd time or the 4th time?
Guess for myself, 4th time.

Hi malcomb,

Thanx for the teaching you have given. it's been very helpful. Looking forward to when you get a trading room going. Wanted to ask you what do you think about shorting the AUD/USD @ 9160 for a TP of 9135?
Hope the room will be up soon.

NJ I got at 80.45 , stop 81.1

Targets as shown on chart below 79.64, 79.4 , 79 .

NFP is coming out tomorrow. With the leading indicators showing that it might be neutral to slightly positive so i am hoping that NJ moves down overnight so that I can move stop to break even at least .

I just started learning and did not understand what you implied when you stated :Allow 15 pips above the high of the trigger candle/bar? If you can tell in a real elementary manner please.
Also is it safer to trade mini lots and is there a time to place a stop loss in a scalp trade?

Anyone else understand this and wish to help feel free to do it in case Kujo doesn't see this post.

Thanks

When i get a trigger on a samll time frame , weather the triggers comes from rsi crossing down thu 30 , a moving average cross , price breaking support or anything that suggest a trade , I wait for the bar to finish , then take the high of the bar plus 15 pips for long entry and low of the bar -15 pips for sell .

The reason for this is to allow the tremd to mature and to make sure that the trigger is not false.

Different time frames mean different pips to add / deduct

5 min = 15 pips
10 min = 15 - 20
15 min = 20 - 30 pips

30 min = 40 pips
60 min = 50 - 100 pips depending on pair
2 hour = 100 - 150 pips


As a beginner never risk more than 1% of your account , so if you have a 10 k account 1 min lot per trade. Does not osund that exciting does it , but over time , with good money management the fnds should add up.

Stops .. I look for a 1-2- risk reward ratio. So look to where your target it and then set your stop. I look for 30 - 100 pips on day trading gj , and have calculated that he best stop for my risk tolerance is 40 pips.

As i mentioned earlier there seems to be good movement on the 2 mins in the time frame 1600 to 1800- pst ...

Here is the chart , it is very tradeable. I did not trade as i was busy doing something else.

Tony that is esignal

I use Tradetsation also. .... it looks a little different and what i like it for is I have something called Radar that send me alerts on indicators on multiple time frames

The software does not really matter .. it is knowing the right time frames to trade on and when. For example the uercad chart below is the same time period , but makes no sense to trade it as it doesa not move in the 1600 - 1800 time period. This is why I scalp / day trade the euro overlap the second image is a 2 min of the same pair in the euro / us overlap ... yes that is a 120 pip range this morning

Personally I would rather catch the entry on the rsi and macd cross on a 2 min at extremes with a 20 pips stop and make 80 -100 pips in 2 hours than leave my position at risk to make 200 in a swing trade , with a possible draw down of 400 pips
