Go baby go! Does it help to yell at the price? I tried to enter long at NY too. To have a couple of these stacked would be great fun. edit- stopped out. It's days like this you wonder about an 80 pip tp.

Did you settle for 100pips on the London Open today Tony or is that not Epic enough to get the disco balls out these days?

Thanks so much for this thread and the possibilities it has opened up, I know you probably wouldn't approve but I have started filtering the opens through stoch to help my get the direction right, I'm sure there are lots of others like me who are taking this and tweaking it to fit their personality. I don't dare trade this at 98%, I'm at 30% currently with a 2pip SL (plus spread + slippage).

I'm not clever enough to know if in the future this really can move the market even in a small way but I'm having a great time now working this into my daily routine.

Once again thanks Tony, thanks for this thread and your system, and thanks for flying in the face of accepted wisdom, I'm really really happy to see you succeed at this.

1 Hour chart - no that's far to risky for me, give me the 5 Second chart and a................

0SL ...!

I'm not clever enough...
Way to go! that's a good attitude to succeed.... As for me I did not follow the statement in my signature which is invest in alarm clocks. I did not set my alarm because I was exhaused and missed the London open to find out that it has travelled 100 pips today!LOL either way I wouldn't have stopped it there for a TP... I was aiming 600. The key is consistency. 2011 will be filled with opens like this, let's just count them, and mostly, be there for them!

I looked at them and their spread at NY open is usually .9 . Then you have to add about .6 to that with the commission cost so the spread is really about 1.5. Plus, since they're an ECN, you sometimes get partial fills. I really wanted to use them since they allow IRA accounts and Oanda doesn't. But too costly of a spread for this strategy I think. Don't think slippage is a problem though.
