Disliked-15 on EUR/USD today so far, false breakout by a few pips
Waiting to see if the real breakout happens after it retraces.Ignored
DislikedMost likely, I'm going to re-read this thread and rehash the rules. I checked the main trend which was going down, and the open today was under the pivot point so I figured a short would be safe. I'll call it a day though if the rules state I shouldnt have taken the first trade.Ignored
Dislikedys just started using this on demo account
Did some manual back testing over the last 2 months or so.
Made a nice 95 pips today on GU. I was a bit greedy and didn't set a trailing stop until it got to about 65 pips.
If I was being disciplined I would have gone for the 15 pip first target, then set my trailing stop.
So far so good though.Ignored

Dislikedwelcome back CTGUY,
how do you deal with with days where news comes out right around when the box ends (9:14am NY time), i.e. 9am, 930am news events?
don't trade?
not trading is fine, but if I am always looking out for no-news days then sometimes I might go a week without making a single trade. There are always big news events. Tomorrow we have non-farm employment change and unemployment rate @ 930am NY time, plus the fact that it's friday, thus i would normally not even enter a trade.
Just looking at next week we have 3 stay away from trading this system days - Nov 11th bank holiday US, Nov 13th red event (USD trade balance) @ 930am, and Nov14th @930am USD core retail sales.
Or how do you...Ignored
DislikedHey George,
I thought US open @ 10 AM EST.... in that case the box should be 9 to 11 AM EST??

DislikedHey my friend, good point. I am brain dead and need to check with my buddy Nimrod. But I thought it was one hour shift to the right. I want to ask Nathan, but for some strange reason, I haven't seen him on yahoo all day. Let me get back to you on that answer.
Need to change the title of this thread also.

DislikedIncorrect, the rules don't state to not take the first trade. Pivotpoint is not an indicator recommended for this system. Please read the rules... your loses are not a result of this system but your own rules.Ignored
