i deleted it, and will update again after i correct it.
Looking forward to seeing the EA. If it works out, I can translate it to the Oanda JAVA API.

Just a thought, has anyone tried multiple entries?
Mostly because of last night, once you were at 0SL, you could have put in another buy, and even then when it moved to 0SL, couldn't you have even opened another buy. There would be no more risk than the first trade.
Maybe I'm just being too greedy.
Because we are using 99% of our account on each trade so we don't have any available margin to enter additional trades.

I was long (stopped)...some are short. Clearly just data feed. Both my Oanda and Ninjatrader were green candles.

this is the reason why i am on short and why r u on long?
Obviously, a M1 chart is different from a 5s chart like Tony does.
According to Tony´s rules, today NY Open must be a SL hit or a 0SL max.
No problem, most days will be like NY Open, we only need a few days like today´s London Open.....

You should be able to tell from my last chart that I have lightening quick reactions and therefore it is of no concern to me!

Seriously though, I reopen the order box straight away and set to "modify" then enter in stoploss to breakeven so as soon as it actually happens I am already to press submit.

Regards,

Dan
If you are using OANDA, you can also just click on the stoploss line and move it to where you want it. This is what I do. As soon as the trade is opened I click on the SL line and have it positioned at break even so that as soon as I can I jam it in.

I did not take the NY open trade because I still have a position opened from London.

Hey Coolshades,
If you click on the red SL line after your order is filled, a little box appears that states what your SL is, click on this box and then wherever you want your stop to be move the cursor to there and click. you stop will be there.

Regards, JoeD

i have read some posts where peeps move their s/l to 0 after 2-3 pips move from entry.

from a physical reaction point of view, how exactly do you do it? a 5 sec chart moves so fast, how on earth are you able to open your existing trade and modify it so quickly?

Ok, so you're not short according to Tony's original rules is what I was getting at.

Actually I am short too (or was... trade closed +2)... but only by accident; the first 5 second bar on NY open was up so that's a buy signal.

So far I like this system, except for the midnight london open, and the 5 am NY open. If I can survive that, I think I'll be ok and this will work.
My first profitable trade and it was good.
Just wish I would have had more confidence and used a bigger lot size.

I still have 10% of my position open and right now its 85 pips up. I am probably going to just leave this endlessly open until I bank a few hundred pips. I've already banked 100 pips on 90% of my trade so I'm happy.

I'm just running Oanda on demo and entering the trade on my MT4 account, but yes it would be nice to have a 5 sec chart.

Hi Guys,

Ive been following this thread for a while and looking to trade it live and join in the fun.

One question, since this new method of trading the initial direction was introduced how has it been doing, I can see today and last Friday were both winners, so is there someone who has been trading it like this for say the past month? Im presuming Tony will have a rough idea of how many pips it has made.

Another thing I have been thinking about is that if you are trading the initial move what significance does using the 5 second chart have? surely the 1 minute chart will do exactly the same job, I can see how using the 5 second chart with the method before made sense as you were following a good momentum.

cheers

Rump.

doesnt appear to work in backtest. Trade went 60 in profit then came back and touched the price it opened at and the trade stayed open.
