The biggest issue I have with this system so far has been that with my broker's spread of .9, I'm automatically 1 pip in the hole when the trade is opened, and all too often the volitility at session open causes a -2 or -3 pip to register quite quickly, which to my understanding means we close it and call it a loss. I've tried 3 of these trades so far and can't seem to get to break even. (note; I missed this morning's trade)

I'm still understanding that we wait for a 1 pip move up or down at session open and trade in that direction, getting to BE SL once the trade is 5ish or more pips in. Is this correct still?

Might it be possible to list both sets of rules in Post #1, since you are continuing to trade them, as well as the updated rules? Just a thought to help out the newbies.

Thanks tony

Looking forward to session open tonight.

Also, a quick question about your possitioning. Say you had an account balance of 10k. What's a good lot size to shoot for doing this?

start with 1000$, you should be albe to turn it into 2000$ within a few months and snowball it into 100K with good money management

either way, if you trade WELL you will snowball money.... if you don't manage and trade well, even if you start with 100K, you will lose everything eventually.

Well, the dolar amounts I was using are simply for example. With a 1k base line account, I'm wondering what a good $ per pip would be to risk for this. $1, $10, etc. Is it a percentage of your total amount or a fixed dollar amount. That kinda thing.

The MM part of this has been kinda vague.

for 1K account your pip size should be 4$
