You read a lot, but seems not deep - you touched the most irrelevant part of my message
Apparently so! Sorry about that.

Good luck in your trading.

I have been through this thread and find it great. This week I have made good profits just on the GBPJPY and EURJPY.

I have attached a modified box indicator as shown in the chart for those that want it. I am no expert programmer and basically modified it using code from other people's indicators, so thank to you guys.

The indicator take automatic the upper time frame:
- lower or equal H1 -> daily
- equal H4 -> weekly
- equal D1 -> monthly



- In the middle of the start bar is drawn an area with the height = 1 ATR, and three lines with the distance 1 ATR.

- Signal arrows are drawn only if the open is located between the high and low of the area, and the close crosses one of this lines.
Thank you so much for the wonderful indicator!

I was wondering if there was a way to include one more level, level4, for GBPJPY symbol?

For weekend analyses you can check the potential of the signals with a simple indicator.

Hey Ace-

I wanted to comment on how you said this strategy does not win as much as it loses....
Say for newbies like myself, I was wondering if everyone can put an explanation beside the Acronym(s) It would make a newbies life much easier.

So what is the meaning of BE?

Thanks

Hmm, wouldn't writing an explanation defeat the purpose of the acronyms.
For the most part you'll have to catch on like the rest of us have. We were all noobs once, and it doesn't take much to learn them.

The problem is, I could not find the meaning anywhere. I even checked under forex for acronym meanings. TP, S/L etc. they are all pretty common. I have not seen This BE before, however, Break Even is self Explanatory.

I have been demoing this strategy on FXDD. My live account is IBFX. One thing you could do is IBFX let's you split you account into sub accounts. You can go long in one and short in the other.

I have not tried this but I remember getting an email from IBFX about it when the NFA stopped allowing hedging.

SL - other side of Box
TP1 - 1x box size
TP2 - 2x box size
TP3 - 3x box size
TP4 - 4x box size

Sorry but i am trying to understand the basic;

-Do you start with 4 units and scale out on the 4 TP levels.
-Also do the SL remain the same meaning the other side of the Box ?

You choose one of the TP levels that you're comfortable with. The first post mentions that Ace uses 3x or 4x the Box as his target. As you read the thread, you'll note that others have chosen to go with other targets.

The SL remains the same regardless.

That's it. In general, if you choose a lower TP, you'll win more often but take less to the "bank" each time. With a higher TP, your win percentage will be lower but that will be offset by the higher reward. In theory, a higher TP is the way to go because your account can grow without having to win a high percentage of your trades.

As mentioned before, you'll see a number of suggested TP variations as you read the thread.

I find using fib levels a good help in choosing the best take profit levels.

Hi,
If ACE284 is about could I ask if you are trading this system as per the rules posted in the first post, or have you found any 'tweaks' along the way that have improved the system?
Cheers
