I wont trade them

Hi all!

I have a question about valid IBs. If the previous bar before IB (the long one) is made by news spike, is it still valid for IB pattern? It is just when I go through the back test I see that it is one of the reason to be a possibility that it not work out. I just wanted to be sure of that.

Thnx!

Trust me, your better off. I dont know what caused that spike, but if you start trading into them and happen to get lucky a time or two, you will go down in flames later. Just call the IB's out in here before they trigger and we will do our best to analyse them as quick as we can.

All you need is 40 pips a night. Can you live on $400 a day, and then when your account gets there, $4000 a day.

My trading starts tonight since there were no gaps last night. Just remember, there are few IB failures and most of them come on Sunday night/Monday Morning.

Jim
I only did a 15 pip one on that trade because I wasn't too confident in it and didn't want to lose too much. I use the trailing lines script I found somewhere on this forum.

I posted a good one on my first page. Its a pip for pip trail meaning you don't have to hit your TP for it to kick in. It also can be put on with a buy stop, sell stop or limit orders. You type the ticket number in and it will initialize when the trade is triggered. And you can put on the long and short on the same trail. It's really cool.

I wouldn't normally short above the 89, but I did think there was plenty of room for a few.
