Just curious on your criteria for entry there, didn't see any candle more than 2.5 pips or so.

Hey Tony do you think you could make a video of when you are looking for trades around the London and USA opens so we are able to see in real-time how you are taking entries?

just wanna say, nice thread tony, seems you understand if you're gonnna try and scalp, what TF you need to be looking at.
Don't trade this way myself, too old, daily about as exciting as it gets these days,
However, i was an interbank broker for more years than i care to remember, and yep, the 5 sec chart is the closest thing you'll get to the real mkt, where the big boy spot traders trade.The big boys were my clients. normal size deal 5-20 mill, which is what is behind the moves on 5 sec chart. My daily turnover? anywhere between 250-750 mill.

when i get time i'm gonna read the whole thread, only skimmed a few pages, but looks gd.

Hello Tony,

I had a few questions for you.. hope you could help me with some info:

i) Are there particular days of the week where you get more trades using this method?

ii) How often are you able to hit the big 200 pipper? Aboubt 1-2 times a month maybe?

iii) Are there other pairs beside the EU or GU that you hve tried this on?

Thanks and Regards

I don't know if this is frowned upon but it is not for lack of trying as the tech guys of this forum are well aware.

Thanks bud , much appreciated.

If you have any interest in this method, would it be possible to backtest this using your ea?

Just trying to see if we can revive some interest in this thread.

I think you misunderstand the purpose of the tools I have created. Also Tony112 has done a sterling job and this thread is a gem. By the way Tony I was a big fan of the "L" before I happened upon your thread. I call them shelves.
cheers

Well you could use my alert on an MT4 terminal and set it for whatever you want.

You want the extreme bar.

bud , i am checking out the extreme bar and it is awesome !!!

1 suggestion that may help us while using this method ... if the EA told us if the spike was in the up or down direction that would help.

Also, if the breach time could record the seconds as well.

Thanks. I think you would find the FlexiCharts awesome too. I post this stuff up but it seems to get ignored. Anyway I am not sure why you are not getting seconds on your breach time. They are certainly on mine. Can you send a screenshot please.

As for the suggestion yes that is a good idea. Leave it with me and I shall implement it soon.
Cheers
