Well not sure if I've still got my fib wrong, but I've just taken the 1.618 today on GBPJPY and GBPUSD at 145.15 and 1.5219 respectively.

Anyone agree with these?

-oh, and now the fib2.0 on [email protected], a good breakout this morning on that pair.

Hi all.

Thanks Angler.. Upon further inspection I notice I think I had the earliest candle missing. LeoM suggests 0 to 8 which is 9 candles? - I had 8..
I've re-adjusted the indicator and re-drawn the fibs.

Any comments on attached chart? right or wrong?

My marketwatch time by the way is BST or GMT+1. So the 'London Open' would show on the candle starting at 8AM (i.e the first candle NOT in the Tokyo range).

Cheers LeafTrader.

I use the ## Breakout Box_Asian indicator which doesn't have GMT or broker time settings. Attached below.

When I set the Asian session to 0 to 8:00 it displays correctly. From my comparison of platforms, IBFX is 0 GMT, while ProFX broker is +3 GMT.

Hi Paulus,

I don't want to mix the thread either... just thought I would add the following.

I have been using the Big Dog strategy found here on this Forum for trading the New York session break for a few weeks with good success.

I have just been focusing on +20 to +30 pips for each pair but today I decided to use the Fib tool like I have been using for the London session. Worked today.

One other thing I have noticed in trading the US Session is that if the EUR/USD moves so does the USD/CHF in the opposite direction so I have been trading it and the AUD/USD as well with same success.

Hi all..

Hey Paulus I kept a look out for your "US breakout version" you mentioned earlier.
12:00 till 14:00 is interesting.. US start at 13:00 ?
Perhaps a new thread to start on this one, as I'd be keen to follow this.
Keeping it mechanical too, then some backtesting to be done..

Cheers

Hi guys,

This looks a really good system so far - really enjoying reading the thread and how it is progressing. I am glad people are benefiting and lots of pips are being pocketed!

Just a quick question - what kind of results does this system give in a ranging market?

Thanks and keep up the good work

Hi All.

Johnh......Like most Breakout methods....it does require a certain amount of movement to be successful....but trading around the UK opening gives plenty of chance for profit even if its just a quick spike up/down..

Johnh

The only protection I have in a ranging market is closing out 50% and bringing the stop to break even when we hit the 161.8 % line..other than that Ive spent 12 years trying to find a mechanical way of assesing a range or trend day and havnt been able to solve it yet lols

Leaf trader yes US opens at 1pm im taking the timings off of another thread running on FF,the one that adsanders is also following with some success with is great

Angler I like your statement under your name..even if a well presented and back tested system is shown to us we should question criticize ( in the most polite way) and try and break it ... it will pay dividends in the long run.

When the British army produced a new weapon for infantry and called it the SA80 they gave it to the Royal Marin Commandos and said ' take it to Norway see if you can break it tell us whats bad about it'

4 weeks later they threw it back to the MOD in bits and said its a pile of Sh*t...lols because of that we now have its descendant without all the short comings .....
