CadChf, EurUsd, AudChf breakouts.
Pip26, could you tell us exactly on what criteria you have enter those Break Outs? Were you using M15 candles or any other way of entry point selection?

I keep an eye on the strength of any currency... presently Euro is weak and Chf is strong that's why i prefer only Chf and Eur pairs for now..

For entry i use different approaches... AudChf, CadChf i entered after H1 candle closed just below line of breakout level and next candles retested the line from below.

3 of my pairs hit my SL, one survived and has now reached my TP. I'm glad at least one did. After an anaylisis so far, I saw that now the pairs (all in the last half hour) start to go towards my TP.

My SL was around 2% of my entire capital, so my conclusion will be so far that this percentage should be higher (or non existing?) for GAPS...

I'll update my conclusion later on the day if I see what the trend is doing now, looks for now I would have made profit if my SL was higher.

See you soon.
Ok, so far this is my conclusion, hope it can help for others in the future (limits are not right to the pip, have to measure them fast):

PAIR - Close (fr) - Open - Max - Min
EURCHF - 1,3575 - 1,3576 - 1,3656 - 1,3536
EURJPY - 114,20 - 114,57 - 114,93 - 114,34
EURGBP - 0,8556 - 0,8583 - 0,8598 - 0,8544
EURUSD I see now was not a gap but a climb to the max, I should have seen this and stayed out!

Summary:

1 pair (EURUSD) was totally my error and should never happen again, extra validation before entering is required from my part!

2 (EURCHF & EURJPY) did hit my SL, 1 (EURCHF) did go below friday closing afterwards, so would have been a good trade. The other one (EURJPY) went below opening, so also profit trade.

1 (EURGBP) did not reached my SL and went way below friday closing, good trade

Next time my limits will be higher. All of my trades would have made good profit so I should be able to recover if a SL is hit, though in this case, further investigation will be done during the next weeks.

Yes :-) and there a bit below is green dot - dot - dot line when you have entered. I am asking how you decide moment you enter, is it just random some below BO line, or you where using any specyfic enter cryteria for your enters? (those marked with green sell lines).

Hi Lawgirl, a quick question for the start of the week. I'm trading in the UK and my period separator commences at midnight. I dont trade til 8am in the morning so would you recommend the 1H-4C-BO's are based on the 4 candles from midnight to 4am or the 4 candles from 4am to 8am (8am being the open of London)?

Thanking you in anticipation.
