iam looking for a pair with reasonable movements. not too volatile. maybe about 30 pips a day. can anyone help ? most major pairs seem really volatile and can move 100 or so points a day.

ashraff999 ,

The 2nd high-lighted trade ( circled ) does not appear to have been a valid set-up ? Am I missing something on that trade set-up ?

I like the simplicity of the method and will follow it to gain confidence in the set-ups. Thanks for sharing it .

It is a valid set-up but resulted in a loss had you waited till the close of the candle. However, if you set up the target at the psychological level 88.50, you would have won the trade despite it closed bearish. Thanks for your input

A sell on the open of GBP/JPY @ 131.87 hit 1st psychological TP of 131.50 ( +37 pips ) within 20 minutes of open of the new bar.

hi

a few things still need to be clarified.

when you say the body of the signal candle must be higher than the previous two. do you count the top and bottom wicks as part of the body ? by how many pips must the body be higher by at least ?


in order to count a candle as valid, what is the minimum width it has to be, i.e. at least how many pips it has to be ? you see some candles are only about 2-3 pips in body, some are just a wick. so how do you count a candle as being valid. what is the minimum pips it has to be in body ?


i see there is a set on the gbp / usd pair, short signal. do you agree ?


regards

I agree on GBP/USD. I am short on it since 5 pm EST.

Also short EUR/JPY (already up 50 pips) and GBP/CHF (still around break even).

Hi Ashraf99 and all,

Today (22.July.2010) spotted GU short setup, is it a valid short setup? http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/s...2_GU_Short.jpg

If yes, would u think that the SL is too small for a D1 trade?

i see...
no wicks...just the body which is the distance between open and close. If it is a doji then there is no body because the open would be the close itself. As long as there is a "difference" between open and close, then there is a body..

Yes there are valid gbpusd, eurjpy & gbpjpy setups

Yes this a valid setup as per this strategy. The SL is too small indeed. But I would take the risk and trade it. You may set your stop loss higher @ 1.5250. That is entirely your decision. But remember to always and always set your stop losses no matter what happens

Hi max

I read comments from some seniors advising that G-U has large pips swing everyday, easily > 100. Thus SL should set more. IMO.

I have finished a scanner indicator ...

Install it as indicator and run on one screen on time frame of your choice.

It will scann ALL low spread pairs on every new bar .. so if u install it on M15 charts it will scan every 15 minutes. If you change TF it will scan immediately and then every new bar in the new TF ... like H1 ... then it will scan once per hour ..

I ignores the incompleted/last bar completely.

Please remember it scans for the BODY of the candle to be inside the previous bar.

I am also attaching a scanner for the Full candle...
thank you so much ecforex for the indi, is it possible you can post the code ?

SL : TP = 1:2

i have gone thru all the pages. like this simple daily strategy. entry is good. only issue is sl and tp, we cant have same sl,tp for all pairs due to different volatility. also risk reward ratio should be 2, may be we can use ATR to derive the SL,TP , i like the psychological levels 00, 50 also but sometimes they are too close.

if we have a EA then we can tweak the SL/TP values for each pair.
