Yeap, hourly charts. And exactly after the rules of PC.
The obvious approach would be a valid entry on the daily and then further trades in the same direction on the hourly only according to PC's rules.

If successful on the daily, you are compounding this success on the hourly.

Razor brothers ....after checking this thread from time to time as i'm a DIBS trader myself, i was just wondering why you felt the need to try and put everyone straight who doubts this method?? Does it really matter?

For the record, most of what you say i agree with.....

For me, Im constantly looking to disprove my trading systems. To see if there is anything I missed or if I used erroneous assumptions, so I want people to raise valid objections - with clearly operationalized methods.

Anyone else still holding that usd yen short from back in june..........

Ah what can I say. I just am not a fan of those who put in with no background. I dont do it as often as I used to but there was a period where it was just a joke. Unfortunatly it is not my thread otherwise I would just have the 'trash' removed without a word.

Nope but I have a few GBP/JPY positions from around the 137.00 area and 132.00 which are all better than BE. Average at around 134ish so I am enjoying the fall

Of course it is however now and then there is a need to remove weeds from a flowering garden, it is amazing how only a few weeds can look so unsightly.

anyone else giggling at the Japanese government thinking they can stem the rising tide of the yen on anything other than a temporary basis?

Maybe they should call up the BOE and ask them about their experience...........

Razor Trader,
i have seen in this forum quite "many" "10 v old dogs" who are looking from time to time to learn something new.... and posting in interetsing threads and looking to try this or that...

And they are very well respectable here.

So, i would not say that if You are 20 y already in trading, You should not look for some new things that can make maybe 0.2 % more in Your income for You.. etc etc etc......



Best,
Tom

And BTW if I had been trading successfully for 20 years and was trading for a living I would obviously have the right method for me and I would be doing everything in my power to extract the maximum out of it. I doubt that I would be looking and trying things that cost me money for 8 months straight with only negative results. No offence but that is my personal view.

Best of luck to you all
