Hello Pawan,
I advise you to read the whole thread. Also in this thread we only talk about eurusd, gbpusd is an entirely different beast and one that isnt traded here on this thread (and the reason you wont see any posts on gbpusd on this thread).
Define your swing, its the basic 123 we looking at using bracket breakouts and FCRs for reversals (failed HH or failed LL).
IN a nushell what we are doing is testing the market. Not every 123 is a good trade , not every FCR is a reversal and not every breakout works. We test it and test it and test it looking for that runner.
I hope that helps, there is a post by FX on here that he says is the essential reading, its about 10-20 pages back. He lists each post that are a MUST to understand, I advise you to read that post and the links in that post to fully understand. Then after that, read post 9846 for the new testing method.
All the best mate and welcome to the family but keep it to EURUSD. Some of us here do trade other pairs with this method so it works fine but on here we preach, 1 pair, 1 time frame. The method for this thread is EURUSD. If you keen on opening up a GBPUSD system 2 thread then feel free as there are some GBP traders out there who would join you.
See you trading soon
, I am here pretty much 18 hours of the 24 hour day (yes I sleep little and trade much )

, I am here pretty much 18 hours of the 24 hour day (yes I sleep little and trade much )hey feb, thanks for this great thread.
I'm into this business for about 8 months now, but not regular. so you can call me noob. i was reading your thread from first and those chart looks really good. can you tell me how to paint bar chart like that?
and i'm also working on gbp/usd pair right now. can you tell me how to define start of a swing in depth? i mean i'm trying on demo, but still often i'm late in entry for swing or got onto wrong entry.
do you concern any other things to validate swing? like pivot points or any previous data?...

Correct, 10 units is 0.001 cents , trade 100 units then
, trade 100 units then This is valid, I was like you too. Demo... it dont work , you can reset the account. Demo is only good for testing a platform. Deposit 100 USD into an OANDA account (i love oanda so they are a nice broker) and trade 10 units with them. That is about 0.01 cent per pip.
There is a reason for this, tyhere is no RESET button, it means you learn to be more careful with your trades and maintaining focus.. what is 100usd? a night on the beer, seriously nothing, and you can use Paypal to deposit it so easy.

Yeah , I traded that but closed it at +10 when I realised something. I took the order with 1 unit..... I was just laughing my socks off so I just closed it and sat back and watched it go.
It happens.
It happens.
I started but screw it up by trying to play ping-pong. Shoulda stick with System II
