HEY TONY TELL ME SOMETHING, HOW DO YOU KNOW WICH WAY TO TRAde? for instance this morning when the london session opened up, the market went up before it went down. would you have bought or wait for a short candle with a more than 2 pip size before you shorted, its seems random the way you trade, no offense or anything. i cant really see how there is a method or rule its like hey just get in in which ever random way you see the market moving. is that how you trade and hope for the best with a low stop of 2 to the zero pip stop loss? I can see why...

well it's simple, I enter 1 time per open, in the initial directions of the open. as simple as that.... direction is defined by the first 2 pips either buy or sell

then reduce to 0SL

So Tony, this is the only part I am 'confused' with.

You mention "defined by the first 2 pips either buy or sell."

So do you trade like (1) or (2) (please just answer this to get my head sorted)

(1)
Watch the 1 second past open time candle. IF the candle is Green - go Long. IF the candle is Red - Go Short.

-----

(2)
Wait for a candle of size at least 2 pips in size after an open (up or down) and trade in that direction - IF its this method, when does the time limit end to determine the trend direction


Tony please see attatched image and can you clarify? Thank you.

You're reading too much into this - Maybe this is the answer you are looking for:

After the market moves 2 pips from the open, trade in that direction.

In this case, it would clearly have been a sell. Hope this helps.

i also trade the five second charts. i prefer to use a breach of the 144 Bollinger Bands however as i find this can allow me to find setups all day long. i was hoping to start a thread but can't because of my newbie status. here is a chart:
Hi FXForLife
Had play with the 144 bollinger bands last night in londen session playing the bounce of the uper and lower band, 7 entery ,
1- 2 pip loss,
5- BE
1- 140 pip win.
So look interesting might play again to night.

Tony or anyone that traded the virus method, does it work? Tony just quit posting on it and I love the strategy, I just don't want to waste my time trying to learn it if the reason he quit is because it doesn't work.

Would love to hear from anyone (hopefully tony ) if this method actually works or not. Thanks!

Can you show me on a chart what you mean, marking it also?

I'm trying to understand how to enter it as I enter randomly - sometimes it matches Tony's entry and sometimes it doesn't which of course will alter the results.

Are you saying you would wait for the candle I marked at 2mins 40seconds in?

I guess my question is- how do you measure the direction?

It is not just 70 pips, it is 70 pips at ginormous leverage. Way to go

Didn't you guys hit your 140 take profit on that last london trade!?

Hi guys, great thread you have here.

I was following it from the days of the 8 pips candle and I came back to it after a few months away.

I started placing orders on Nov 15 (and not on every open) and I made my first 140 pips TP shorting at Nov 22 NYO.

I move SL to 0SL at 8 pips and to +2/+3 at 16/20 pips profit. This way I try to come out with a winner to compensate past/future losses.

I am risking 0.4% per trade, so make your math.

@ beehivesjoe - I didn't place orders on Nov 22 LO and both opens of Nov 23 because of spread > 0.9.

Maybe you can say if I'm doing anything wrong, but for me this is a golden rule.

Also, I don't enter the market if there is economic data at the open.

Forex calendar is a must have to prevent a sudden spread widening at or near the market open.

Regards

L.S.

yep 140 pips, it was New York open, a lot of people were not there for the 8am appointment... you have to be serious about this and there is a price to pay for not being it.

So if someone had 5 grand and wanted to trade for a living you think by following this method and makig it to EVERY london/New york open in a year or two there account would be big enough to keep doing it and make a living off of it?

only under certain conditions: never miss an open and never have a SL bigger than 2 pips. 5k could easily be turned into 25k in a year using tight management, 0SL
