-2 (no slippage for me today!)

Edit: actually it was no slippage on exit, I had wanted to enter at 2765 - in which case I may have got to 0SL trade! Oh well, waiting for NY now...

EUR and GBP both worked out nice tomorrow. See charts (9.00 line is London open). I guess there's a reason to use not so tight stop...

Since the ATR of today has been large today, my strategy was off the table. Thought I'd give this a go today using a 2 range bar chart. First up after 8 was a doji then a red. Shorted and using the ATM feature of Ninja was at break even in a blink. Stopped. Pretty heavy U.S. session with news and Bernanke talking. EU has moved quite a bit overnight so this is pretty much expected especially with the pending news.

Hey guys, I'm not trying to steal the thread but I'm curious if any of you have tried other entry methods, with this move to 0SL.
Probably would not get the big movements like the London open but I'm thinking that it could get 40 or 50 pips with minimal risk, if the move to 0SL is fast enough.

this is perfect for the GBP... it's going to happen soon on eur, we'll get another 140 pips to cover all those little losses lol

Been reading this thread with interest, Nice job Tony. Like your commentary too mate! This looks pretty similar to the DIBS method, just that we're using any bullish or bearish bar on the open, rather than an IB. Quick question, say we go long on the euro at 1.2845, do we simply put our SL at 1.2843 and then move to BE as soon as price moves above 1.2845?
