just got stopped but as you can see.... I didn't enter on a 10 pip candle.... it's smaller and the force just wasn't there, it's all good look at that stop-loss.
Thanks!

Yea, i tried to enter at the same spot, but my broker plattform froze so and had to restart it, then i saw that my stoploss would've been triggered, oh well, lucky in an unlucky moment.

I'm demo-ing this atm, had my 5 sec chart zoomed in way too much and entered false signals of 4-5 pips, they looked like 7-10, hehe, stopped out 8 times, now i'm zoomed out and made 1x BE stoploss and 1x pure stoploss -5 pips, so it's looking up actually.

Yeah i do have a day job, at which i'm alt+tabbing all the time right now hehe.
Hoping that i some day will go full time trader.
That's my dream anyway.

Yes, that new zoom on oanda is confusing.... i sent a request to their programmers team to improve it. Lol, alt+tabbing, make sure you don't get caught About the dream... all I can say is that anything is possible, try hard.

yea... it was a 6 pip fake like you say.. on GBP they come often.... that's why we have to wait for 10+... you will then feel what power is... never forget to set a tight stop loss

Awesome!

I will wait.. and yea i always have a my stop loss at max 5 pip including spread.
I use the "1-click" trade management option where the stop loss is always -5 pips and TP at +40 pips.

Perfect for alt-tab trading.
You see your shoulder is clear, alt-tab in, see a 10 pip candle with continuation, 1 click trade, alt-tab, "Yea i have the yearly report right here sorted by numericals, there you go"
(alt-tab) Ah nice, +10 pip so far!

haha

My SL+1 hits, i think 9 pips spike not enough to catch a big movement.

Hi Xpxforum

Tony said that the Entry signal is a 10 pip candle + continuation on the second candle.

Example, a 9-10 pip candle appears, the next candle is about 2 or 3 pip and in the SAME direction as the 10 pip candle.

You entered on a 9 pip candle (which is OK), but without continuation as the second candle was diving pretty hard.

Also worth noting is that in Tony's first post he said we should use the GBP/USD pair, you used the EUR/USD

Read the first post and i'm sure you will understand. (he's changed it a few times so maybe you missed it?

Today wasn't a very good day for me, first i was seeing 10 pip candles everywhere and entered like a maniac, got stopped out 9 times in a row and was like.. wtf!
Then i noticed my zoom was way off target from where i first put it (Oanda seems to auto zoom a little when it feels like it).
I then zoomed out again and kept a sharp eye on it.
Now it went better, 2x break-even, 2x stoploss -5,5 pips and 1x profit of 11 pips (had 20 pips) for a grand total of... ZERO PIPS! lol
I'm not gonna count the first 9.

Good thing it's a demo account, but i'm starting to get a hang of it.
However i really didn't find any good & clean entries today, except for the one that Tony shared 15 min before London open, i missed that one.

How did you do today Tony?
Did you maybe find more entries with your experianced eyes?

Best wishes
Jesper

Was there low volatility prior to entering the trades that were losers? If there was constant volatility then its not by rules Tony outlined. Look forward to hearing your trade details to help followers learn. Thx

yep seafront, its easy... just make sure that the small scroll bars (horizontal and vertical) (+ and -)are not at the extremities (ends) and the pip interval wont move anymore! no matter what you do
