Same to me but i'm not disscouraged. Biggest consecutive looses ammoun last year was 7 with this method (only losses and BE). One win and we are in plus

im not discouraged either thats why I love this strategy SL is small and TP is big so can afford to lose a few in a row then win 1 and be up or BE. I'll keep plugging away at it

Hi,

I've read about this strategy and it looks good to me. I know losses belong to trading, no doubt about. However, has anyone made any experience by using a filter as a supportive indicator/solution to a given breakout? I'm using 3LZZ (a ZZ semafor) on my chart and thinking of combining them.

Best,

I use Oanda....it missed TP by 2 pips. But I closed for 21+ when I saw price stall and consolidate. It's Friday so take what is offered.

Grant,

I was wondering, since today has triggered but not hit BE or TP yet, I was thinking that a while ago you posted a time that you take your trade out? I can't find it so I don't know if I dreamed it up or not, lol. was hoping for some clarification.

Thanks

Like many others i read the whole thread and chose what looked best for me.
GBP/USD
4am - 7am
H: 1.6317
offset: 10
SL: 1.6269

buy: 1.6327
TP: 30 pips : 1.6363 (give or take a few)

As i'm just testing, it's on a demo. I do have a 80ema on my chart 15min chart which is equivalent to my 20ema on the 1h chart but decided not to worry about it for now.
