Yes that is a valid DIBS IB and signal to go long.

Hey guys,

Just finished reading through the the Free Coffee thread and sounds very interesting. I used a very similar breakout method until May when the side movements started.

A couple of things that I dont understand so far, hoping you guys could point me in the right direction.

PC states that the day starts at 06:00GMT. Now, is that when you should start looking for the IB? or thats when you place the entry point? Lets say an IB happens at 03:00GMT, is that considered an entry signal? When do you place the Buy/Sell signal.

Also the open on my VT for GBP/USD was 1.9736. Just want to compare opens.

Looking forward to your replies
The answer is on the first page on this thread, but I'll give it again:
IB on which hour?
You can play an IB, be it at 5.00 GMT, 4.00 GMT, 3.00 GMT or even 2.00 GMT as long as it is off the Open of the Day, 6.00 GMT. Peter's charts show this.

And your GU price is fine...

hmmm didnt think you would use a price that is almost 24 hours old but will see how it goes.

Thanks for the answers.

Best of luck using this system. Hope to add some valuable signals in the next couple of days

Jarroo,

Back to this playing an early IB (say 4:00gmt) off the open of 6:00gmt. How does one determine the direction of the play? Do you check a higher time frame? Or if the open is higher then the early IB , go long, and just the opposite if the open is lower then the IB? I think I have been missing a fair number of DIBS trades by waiting till the open and then determining the direction of the day.
Thanks
Rusty

If your going on 6.00GMT you would use the previous days open price no? or do you wait till 6.00GMT to place a buy or a sell. That is what's confusing me atm. Do you guys understand the issue that im having

GU testing the support a lot now, a break from here and we could be heading down to 1.9625-1.9590 area. Although I don't think the break will be a fast one. If it reaches this area, I'll watch the price action and if I see a reversal I will close out some more of my position (half of the remaning 1/3) and leave the rest riding for the next wave at original stop.

You use today's open price for today's trading. Like on GU today the open price on my charts was 1.9735. So if price is above that price you are looking to buy. If price is below that price you are looking to sell. And price is below so we are selling.
