It's a shame when the market does that first thing, THEN goes off in one direction.

Hey all,

Dont feel bad when price goes one way - whipsaws u out then goes a
long way in the OTHER direction.

You must stick to the rules/your own rules when using this method.

Look what happened to me on London Open this morning - i thought i would
be smart and move stop up 2 pips and not down 2 pips (TO BE) because i
thought - hey the market did this to me on Friday i wont let it happen
again...

WHEN YOU DONT STICK TO THE RULES AND LET EMOTION GET IN THE WAY
YOU ARENT TRADING TO YOUR PLAN - LET THE MARKET TAKE YOUR 2 PIPS
OR IF AT BE - ZERO PIPS AND WAVE HAPPILY WHEN IT REVERSES DIRECTION
BECAUSE YOU KNOW SOON (tomorrow, the next day, day after) THAT THE
MARKET WILL GO YOUR WAY FOR THAT 100+ PIP EPIC WIN

Guys,

has anyone not tried using the 1 Min candle as myself and Dael use?

Today was an epic win on GBP/USD as was last friday. The wins occur a lot more often and the SL is still minimal never usually more then 6/7 pips but obviously this can be moved to BE.

I have had decent success but will carry on forward testing, ideally of there was someone able to write an EA to backtest it would give some intresting results im sure!

What's great about this is that I'm used to only making 35kish per year at my old dead end job. If I had Tony's bank account, just 1 win a year would be > than my accustomed salary, and you KNOW you're going to get more than 1 of these wins in a year's time.

Not a bad way to make a living if you ask me. As it is, after doing the math, I only need 6 wins to have more than 115k in my account, not counting commissions and -2 pip losses.

manage your account well and dont take any useless trades.... when you snow ball your account in the 100K, you will be afraid to see what you got yourself into... when you see the size of the pips you will be stunned to death one day, specially if your bank account holds what the average joes account holds, you will be frightened and you will thank yourself a thousand times for getting involved in this
