These do look good according to your method, very slow beforehand, decisively explosive after the first big candle. I am watching the GBP/USD right now, very choppy.

By the way, how can I extend the amount of candlesticks the Oanda chart shows me? On the 5C chart I can only scroll back a few minutes.

Hey Tony,

I traded your system successfully last night! There was a sharp move down in the GBP/USD around 1:30-2am Central time, each time I got around 20 pips for a total of 40! I did get stopped out on my first attempt for a loss of 5. Not bad.

I would post screenshots but I don't know how to go back in time on the Oanda charting system, on the 5C graph it only lets me go back a very short time.

Also, do you know how to lock the scale of the Oanda chart so that it doesn't continuously change? I set it to 5pip intervals to the right but as the chart progresses, it re-scales itself to 10pip increments, or 2.

Very nice, I'm happy to hear that it you are having success with it I sent an email to oanda about a week ago about the issue you're talking about. I personnaly contacted the developers to make a modification on the platform

Here is a copy of my email: ''I would like to make a request for the development team which may accommodate an facilitate others too.

The pips interval has recently become flexible and variable on a chart, as it is scrolled from left to right. The horizontal lines' interval changes as we move the chart in time.

I would really, really appreciate the addition of a simple "lock horizontal interval" or "lock pips interval" CHECKBOX which will really improve my perspective of the market and for others too... trading on smaller time frames.

Best regards,''

Interesting, so it used to be locked and has recently been "unlocked"?

What about going back in time? As in, download a chart for the past day, week, month? That could be very helpful in backtesting at least somewhat.

Thanks a lot. I'm doing very well here is a what happened this morning.. I didn't miss it. Crazy stuff, this thing keeps happening again and again... I don't know, for the moment I am having trouble figuring out if this is either too good to be true or just a false illusion of a way to make money... we'll see what could make me fail... I'm having a hard time realizing and believing I actually found a way to pull out money out of this.

wow, very nice. simple & straight forward, no indicators and/or gimmicks- just pure PA. it seems you got in a little earlier before the 7-8pip candle, but either way would have been great trade. im going to be keeping an eye out for this setup tomorrow morning during ny open.

Hi Tony,

I don't really understand your entry in that posted shot as compared to your rules in the first post. The move looks like 3 pips on the 5sec bar. Shouldn't you wait for a longer confirmation?

Are you still using 4pips as a stoploss?

Cheers!

This entry here was purely made on a lower than 10 pips candle and kind of a gamble I took before leaving my house. The chart was posted for example.... a normal entry would have been on the 7 pip bar... yea.... I take gambles sometimes like that and that is the reason why I don't progress as fast as I should... this time I got lucky, honestly...

I guess the biggest resolution for improvement for me would be to never settle for nothing less than a 10 pip 5 secs candle... patience....

Hi Tony,
What is your strike rate? I would imagine it's pretty low since you use 5 pips to shoot for more than 40pips. Of course you don't need high rate to win as RR is so high.
Thanks for sharing!
