By the way, where did you move your sell SL to lock profit to? I projected at 1.5135 to lock in 50% of the pips (222 pips out of 444). So the last failed reversal bar's low plus 222 (1.4913 + 222 = 1.5135).
My broker is not Alpari - its FxPro, candles at 3, 7, 11AM ET.

My bad, have I misunderstood the 50% lock in profit method ?

I calculated the 50% of the first big move down candle, and put my SL 5 pips above that point.

I did like : High - (High - Low)/2 + 5 + spread
1.53543 - (1.53543-1.51126)/2 + 5 + spread
1.53543 - 0.01201 + 5 + spread
1.52412

So, is it High - (current profit/2) + 5 + spread ??

Thanks
Peace

Cititrade,

the 50% rule only cuts in if there are two failed reversal bars that aren't setup bars,

I have the same SL as Howard

Oh ok, in this case shouldn't the value be 1.5067? (not 70) since the last closed bar's high is 1.5059.

Different brokers have different feeds, therefore it is a couple of pips take or give

I think the market is trying to decide who has worse news, the US or the UK, thus the stagnation in the past couple of hours.

thanks , but it's for order which we put when current bar close? No , it will have new high .
we can't go long on current bar or I'm wrong?
As for me if we don't have set up bar for long , we can't go long.
Or we just looking on this long like on revers trade?
correct?
thanks

No it is the top of one bar before the current which has already closed, when the current bar closes in about 1 hour and 45 mins, we move our stop loss and buy stop to the top of this bar.

Stop loss closes our short and buy stop gets us in a long trade, stop and reverse (SAR)

That's what Sterling meant by saying you must take every single trade dictated by the system, otherwise don't bother.

you are right you have to take every trade, also good thing that we are not doing the step tp that some people wanted to do where the most we would have made is 90 pips. I hope that every one got in on this trade and this is really nice for the start of the month.

If this is real money you're talking about (live account), then withdraw it and leave your account at its original level. This is one solid MM that I found to be most useful.

Two failed reversal bars.. I guess should use the 50% rule now?
