Can you give your opening prices for the last trade as it looked like you had closed all positions just before yesterdays news.
which trade do u mean? the open price for the first trade was my 2nd post on this thread

i moved my stoploss to breakeven on both lots about 2 mins before the news to make sure i wasnt going to get stuckin a whipsaw, but gambled the +7pips i was in profit just before the news hit to see if it could kick me up somemore profit
But it just ended up stopping me out since the news was bad for the GBP, then it whipsawed up for a while, i wasnt in the market when this happened tho.

Sorry I didn't read carefully enough the stop moved on lots 2 and 3 so obviously you only had gotten rid of the first lot just before the news. Yet again a good trade, keep it up.

Hi just checking it, is all OK, you writing exams or are you just a bit amazed with what GBP is doing at the moment?

I missed all sorts of fun yesterday, internet connection problems with a big storm and then some birthday celebrations (was 48 big whohoo).

Looking forward to your next posts.

Cheers.

Hi brxxt I've sent him the details.

GBPUSD obviously in a trend up. When you are going against a big trend do you think it might be then worth looking at the 1 hr, you'll get a better/earlier entry and if it fails a smaller loss. If the trade is later confirmed by the 4 hr fine.

Yes when trading with the trend use the 4 hr that you are comfortable with.

Just a thought.

not a bad idea... im currently testing another completely different strategy i just got introduced to yesterday that im kind of in the process of developing myself, looks really interesting.. insider stuff

I also want to backtest the initial candle on sundays when the market opens, because like this week it opened the same as the close on friday as a Bull signal, but i only ever enter the market on signal CHANGES and there was only one change this week. I will be using my demo account for those and may start posting on my other thread if i find it works out.

Hi
This is a toughie the way the pound is at the moment and again we have news coming out in 2 hrs. Lets hope its pound positive.

I'm told pound often comes back to the central pivot, which is 2.0013 today, before news comes out, lets see.
