For those who trade Oanda from Canada on EST time.
FXDD 4H candle openes at 5:00 EST . It is third 1H candle with Oanda.
So, the box with Oanda is 4 1H candles from the third to the sixth.
For Oanda users box is 180 pips. I am in short at 150.70.

and Yes, I have devoted one account to 50% of the box stop loss. it is 90 pips now with risk of 1% and take profit goal of 540 pips.
I think R:R 6:1 is enough.

Hi fellow traders!
Hopefully were going to get back all those great pips we have been missing during August. more volatility in the markets, more pips to bank. my gbp/jpy already kick in so im ready to get some of these sweet pips!
Hope the best for all. Enjoy

I guess Japan election will compensate for London closure with higher volatility.
It looks like Conservatives lost majority first time in 55 years.

Ice Broken.
Okay the official bar has finished forming (10 mins ago). Chart Below.
The box size is pretty big, 166 pips to be exact. According to Average True Range, TP4 will not be hit. I traditionally would not take this trade, but this week I will, moving SL to BE after TP1 has been hit. As members mentioned earlier, there is no point is not taking the trade even if TP4 shouldn't be hit. I feel more comfortable taking this trade with this because of the BE stop we have been using for a while now. Risk reduced because of bank holiday in U.K....

Ace, how do you get your numbers to show that well on the right side of your charts with that much space?

there is a heavy fortified support area from 150.40 to 149.80 to break through. It can bounce all the way up ... so, keep your hopes down untill we break this level. Then it might be a long way down...

he he when it hit TP1 then my hope on the system... no need to play with my emotion where it should go. If I notice the TP1 it not hit then the buffer that I set is not functionning at all to filter it. But all the time it work fine
