still remember my trade last week on gbp/aud? I still have a small position open with 500+ pips. Amazing that that pair runs so far in such a short period of time.

Hey guys,

Wondering if anyone here has ever traded within a well established horizontal range before and the type of experience ones had with it?

I mean clear ranges (gbp/usd type) where tp 1 is the middle (+ sl @ B.E) and tp2 the ADR + RN?

Chart here so to make it clear.

Just curiosity since i was seriously considering taking it.

Anyone here ever traded these before?

yes, I did, they work out quite well, but I am only taking them in direction of the trend, never against it.

Cool.

I would only take them with the trend aswell. In general if the range is wide and clean I think it can work out quite well statistically in the longterm.

Did you take this gbp/usd trade? If not is there anything that you didnt like about it or that doesnt fit your criteria? Just wanting to see your thought process .

And ye im defo going to go and drive one of them! But im more of a ferrari chap. Especially the f430, my dream car, which will be paid with pips lol.

One of my ex-managers used to have the 360 spyder. But the f430.....mmm.....now THAT is a beast in itself.

Check this out -->

Actually I don't see anything wrong with that trade. But I didn't take it, because I didn't really pay attention to that pair today.

EDIT: I don't know why, but I can't see the picture you posted.

I reviewed some of Hector's LOB stuff last night and I decided to set this trade up before I went to bed. I know that I broke some rules when taking this trade. Mainly, trading before the news announcement this morning. Also, not being there for the BPC but I lowered the lot size and I decided to risk it.

Here's how it worked....

Sell stop at 1.7583
Stop loss at 1.7626
Take profit at 1.7500

Looks like I could have stayed in down to 1.7400 but I'm happy with how it turned out.

At the time I was watching it the low of the sideways consolidation of the Toyko session was at 1.7593 and I just placed my sell stop 10 pips below that. Do you think that is a good position for the LOB?

In retrospect, I feel my stop loss was too great. Next time I think I will move it a tad closer.

Oh stop loss...I think I was tired when I was setting it but I based it on something I think Hector said about the middle of the channel...I could be wrong on that. In hind sight, I think I should have placed it right above the RN's. I think the SL was too great for this trade.

What do you think?

There is something to be said about trading when too tired. Mistakes can be easily made by not thinking through things. Looking now this seems clear to me.

Good strategy, well done. hm, I also sometimes place trades for asian open breakouts. But I also find it quite difficult to decide on where my entry and where my stop should be.

Just for the record....I don't particularly like doing my trading while I sleep. I'm EST in the US and would much prefer to be there but that is 2 or 3am for me and I'm at work at 7:30. It just does not feel good to set it and go to bed...don't sleep well like that.

yeah, that is a problem I always have with placing orders in advance on LOB's or AOB's. Difficult to know in advance what price is doing and where entry and stop loss should be places.
That's why I just like to set touch trades while I sleep. Cause the stoploss and entry level is already predefined and it wouldn't make much difference if I am in front of the computer or not...
