hey,
a little question, what timeframe do you use as the asian session?
1HR Timeframe, as specified by Paulus

I just trade this innocently, no indies, not even MA only the fib and ant_GUbreakout

My daily target is 100 pips and I already have 2 days target met. Moreover, among the pairs GY is weird and its not moving with speed today, dont know why.

Hey Kosomolate,

Thanks for the info. Looked like a couple pairs came close
to stopping out and then reversed to close in the green.
Seems that some just made it to 161% target by a few pips
and the combined draw down could have had me worried.
I did a little back checking and found that on some weeks
there were some losses of 300-400 pips on a single pair
but have not fully back tested all.

Glad to see you are having a good run.

This is the second time I am asking the same question here.

"The risk to reward with this system is lesser than 1:1. So what kind of money management are you guys using? "

Can somebody who is using this system share their views on this...

Cheers

I still believe that the stop is placed on the other side of
the Asia range +10. If I am wrong, someone please correct me.

Hey AZ
Buy entry point is Asian high +10 pips while sell entry point is Asian low -10

Buy SL is Asian low and Sell SL is Asian high. see pix for clarification



Hi Deedeed!

the R:R is slightly not 1:1 and the reason is this, sometimes if it reverses back either north or south to the SL, cos of the extra 10 pips at that side then it always adds that 10 extra pips to the loss on its way back, so the difference between reward and risk is 10 pips

kos

However, this does not remove from the fact that the system is simply good at least for now.

pls serj1 can you point me to the post where paulus changed the rules? cos I have been using the low and high for the SL and you cant believe it I still get good result E.G.

EURUSD would have been a loser for me today but the SL at the asian high saved me and I TP at 161.8 fib level with +38 green pips and if I had left it, it went full to 200 fib level later.

GBPUSD too would have been another looser but the stop at the asian low saved it and I TP at 200 fib level +60 green pips

thats almost -100 pips loss but I ended well today. I think I would allow price to breath well may be that would maximise profit for me, who knows

thanks

Hey kos,

I think you have it right. I believe it was mentioned somewhere as an alternative to use the 50% level as a stop to minimize loss. I started to use the 50% idea but changed back after my stop was almost was taken out a few days ago. So I say... if it's working for you don't mess with it!

Hi tony,

thats what i think, and with the way price oscillates forth and back these days its better to allow it some space. so that one would not just be stopped out and then price would come back and continue in the direction of your trade that is somehow painful

but on the alternative if one is stopped out at the low or the high then 10 pips later it enters the opposite trade and if it goes well it fills the loss back

thats my own thinking and for this May it is working I dont know of July yet.

thanks

hi all....

Do I assume most got stopped out at some level on GY ...unless you were awake and exited late in the day for a small profit..

The problem with trading so many pairs that are related....mostly GBP or EUR...is that the drawdown could be substantial....before the price does/if turn around....

I have found this thread quite interesting, and have done some backtesting(mostly on gbp/jpy, I like the risky one). I would like to mention a little quirk I think could help. Instead of doing the whole Asian session, I find that the asian session -1 hour(frankfurt open) works a little better. That seems to be when the beginning of some of the breakouts begin. That means sessions that aren't so wide. making for easier profits. Let me know your thoughts.

Hi Saltydoo,

Are you saying only the frankfurt or include the frankfurt with the asain session? Sorry but I don't quite understand what you are meaning?

I think he means place your orders as soon as Frankfurt opens.

I did that when I was doing demo on the system for about 2 weeks, but what I discovered was that the 1hr frankfurt open bar b4 UK open used to cause false breakout many times i.e. many times it will go trigger one side and as soon as the UK opens the UK open bar will head the other direction, bcos it is driven by GBP fundamental news, and when I included it in the box with the Asian which makes them 9 bars, the fakeouts reduced

thats my simple observation anyway
