90% don't stick with the plan, latest if they loose many times in a row.
Then they "adjust" something.
For exampel: Not the first but the second candle, not 5 but 10 sec candle, trading the opposite of the first candle and so on....)

So they always "optimize" the system to the last few trades.

Funnily enough I was actually cracking open a bottle of champagne! A little tradition we have at work on Fridays!

I shall endeavour to be more focused next week!

Thanks that looks good...now

To obtain those results how did you trade

twice a day ?
How do you enter ?
Your time frame of chart ?
How do you move your SL ?
What is your TP ?

This together with your findings will give a good overall summery

Cheers

Tony thanks so much for sharing your system. Tony I will like to ask if you could post all your trading strategies. That is those that were previously existing in the thread. While this one is so much better, i think others where also relatively low risk strategies that made money for you. For eg You mention using the 8 pips candle today some of the newcomers like me would also want to have a hang of the strategy as well as your news base strategies. Also Trading only the eur/usd is it only based on the low spread it offers? eur/gbp (0.5) offers less spread on some brokers and has less noise and whipsaws than the euro for eg, is it worth a try? Is there also a news trading strategy that was previously on offer here with low risk too? I think posting such strategy and thier rules to the first page would be nice. Thanks again for your time and sharing.

No I am still trading the Central Banks system but I am not currently doing any other 15M trading... too busy at work at the moment. I am doing a similar thing on H4 charts though and I shall try and get back into posting from next week.

Guys I cannot beleive what happened at London open... we MISSED IT BY 2 PIPS! 0SL ! OH WELL we will hopefully have a better week to come. With good money management, you guys should not have lost a lot this week. Please keep in mind that we will trade only London and NY resulting in 10 entries per week only
Also keep in mind that a least half of the 10 entries would normally be 0SL. This means that a TOTAL FAIL WEEK, or NO WIN week should have a maximum drawdown of about 5% on your account only. :nerd:

Hi Paulus!

This is completely Tony´s strategy - 5s chart, 7-8 pips candle, I move SL to 0 when market is about 6 and more pips away, London and NY open till close, GBPUSD, EURUSD. My PT is basically 100 pips when I jump to the position but these days is more personally (because of low volatility). So Im looking to S/R lines(M1,M5) and when I think that trend is ending Im going out. Thats why I´ve got there a MFE (Maximum Favorable Excursion) data which show me optimal PT to the future.
Will be better if most of us post here similar results!

I must confess I'm not trading it although I quite like the idea of taking a trade and at +2 bring stop to break even but then going for only 15 or 20 pips with a stop loss from the start of 2 pips with spread this will be 3..trouble is you need triggers at the moment you guys use 2 with a potential of going several trades..or days .... at break even I would want several trades a day
I would like a sequence of say 10 break even,5 losers 5 winners..

I will look at 0 and 00 levels next week this can give several triggers a day
