i absolutely love IB's

when i'm busy with school, i take IBs with the 3 hour trend, and i also take 50% off at 1:1 but don't move SL to BE. taking the 50% lets you have a breakeven trade while at the same time keeping your stop out of the way. but that's for holding trades for a very long time.

i thought that was simple! i will definitely be trying this one tonight. i really like scalping in the morning and lately have been looking for a way to take a quick trade at night without my girlfriend noticing i'm on forex just to diversify my trading methodology

thanks roundrock for the super duper strategy, i can't wait to see what we can work out with exits

24 pip spread and only a few minutes to go

is this too big (larger than the maximum on your first post) or is that just a loose rule

Do you take the high/low of that last candle (24 pip range) or the current one?

well according to the first post, the candle that ends at midnight gmt is our candle.

i'm in -5 gmt ( EST) and its 7:25 which makes it 25 past midnight gmt.

so the 1h candle that closed 25 mins ago is our boy.

except if you go to forexfactory.com you can see that the tokyo market doesnt open until 8pm EST

so maybe we should be looking to this current candle.

and in response here is a screenshot of my orders. (very very tiny size because i don't normally trade this)

i just canceled them because the spread is 24 pips and tokyo doesn't open for another half hour

I'm in EST time zone too but as it is summer it is EDT which I thought makes it the current candle that we should be looking at and waiting to close?

yep thats right. closed my orders a while back.

this current 1h candle is an inside bar as well

and price has been consolidating for quite a while we could get an explosive move

edit:

here are the new orders. i'm not used to trading at this time of day it's so slow wow!

Price touched TP1, but Ask didn't cross... I moved to BE anyways...

Do you have a script to make the pending orders easier to manage?

hi everybody
thank you for sharing the method.
just 2 questions:
1st. what about the spread in the limits orders and sl?
2nd. did you test the method when change the time during summer winter? did you use the same candel?
thank in advance!

Simple!

Looks like its working... Need some forward testing and MM.

abd:
1st question has been answered already:
"when the candle size is less than 10 pips, i consider it as 10 and do the math. that means 12 pips SL, 12 TP1, 24 TP2 (considering 2 pips buffer)"
2cnd: It should always be the 23:00 - 00:00 GMT candle (correct me if I m wrong)


Thanks for sharing
