Hi bigijs,

Right. But how are you going to trade it ?

You could wait for a bounce of the resistance line created by the London open & then place a stop just above this level.

Once you have learned the significance of, & how to trade the 3 main opens of the day you will always make money. Waiting for a 1 pip move is a complete waste of time & effort.

Regards.

BabeFX.

hey babefx, can you please show this on a chart? which resistance do you mean?

What about just straddling the open 1 pip either way with a 2 pip or 0SL?

E/U Is having all kinds of problems breaking that psych level. On one hand, I think it'd almost be better to just wait this out until it breaks one way or another, but on the other hand it'll probably be a 140+ trade when it does break.

We just have to hang in there and know that it's comming sometime real soon.

guys I have to share something with you

I was at the grocery store and I saw people around the grapes lot picking grapes for like 15 mins.... choosing the best grapes one by one and when I Im saying 15 minutes, I'm NOT exaggerating because I had time to make my whole grocery list.

Some of them were selecting the most reds ones and others were even looking around because they were eating them ... taking advantage of some little pesticide. Anyways, it's not that I'm against it but and I have a lot of compassion for poor but I think those people are stupid.

I take time to choose my fruits, but I don't take 15 mins to pick up grapes... I look at the bag and select it in less than 10 seconds... I am really sorry ... I don't know if I'm really really irritated because I lost about 10K in 1 day but I really have no regards for stupidity ... I have nothing against poor people and understand but this I do not. It's ridiculous ... even when I had 20$ stupid bucks in my bank account back in the days I didn't do that ..... intelligence fail for real I'm sorry

if you lost 10k on a couple pips twice then you made 500k on your 100 pips winners so the 10k shouldn't hurt...

I think Tony´s system could be the only system for a live trader, not missing any opening and with a good MM (0SL is clear for me, TP.... I have to learn more about that....)

I have lost way too much money on 5 second bars during random times... big ones.... I'm sticking to the opens, for now, hoping for volatility... I don't like to use the word hoping, but we have seen very poor volatility in eur/usd lately

my stress and frustration level is now at 3/10

I don't usually trade Frankfurt open. Yes, you entered correctly but when I trade I move my stop faster. It appears it moved 5 pips in your favor before retracing back. I would of been at 0SL or +1SL.

Dear Euro, I know you feel comfortable at 1.3000 but unfortunately, one day, you will have to depart.

Thnx for your adivce! Iam happy that iam doing it right this time. :-)

So i didnt manage the Stop correctly, becouse i was up near 5 pip in Profit. But's this was really fast. So i have to become more confortable with the Oanda Platform i think.

Usually the second I place the trade I already have my stop clicked and ready to jam in at break even or +1
