I am thinking that even 10pips per session is workable and more guaranteed. has anyone here used spreadbetting to trade this strategy?

That would work too... Some days I'll just scalp especially when we get stuck in a sideways movement...

If anyone is trading this I would hold off until we see if it breaks 164.30

If It pivots off 164.3x we would be good for a 20-30 pip short

so today, first I lost 600$ due bad luck, my SL was hit by 1.2 pips before aggressively going in the other side, (stop loss hunting) which would have made me a nice profit and then I took a few stupid revenge trades and lost 600$ but , I just made 601$ by mindless going long on GPb/USD at 1.6392 before the nfp (because I was so mad about that stop loss hunt) and exited at 1.6453 with 601$ profit. So the nfp helped me.

Wasn't quite a mindless entry, I have read an article that sad cable may go up, up, I saw the trend it up, still stupid revenge trade. Don't trade like that, I was about to quit my system.

Hello spike

Walk me through the trade you took that cost you 600.00 In my opinion there is no need to lose that much... You never want to revenge on a trade... leave your emotions at the door when you trade.. what entries did you take? I'll chart it on my charts and see what went wrong...

just took a sell and got out for +10 could have taken a bit more but set TP at 10. Also EUR/USD would have been as good trade +110 at the moment

My trade was on aud/usd, I use another system, a trend flowing one, it was a good trade if not that stop hunt.

Breffniman you can do that everyday!! This strategy is almost 100% just don't trade against the trend. Start with daily then 4h then 1h. Use fibs and you will be doing this everyday.

I will be around to help anyone out. I find it to hard to trade and post what im doing .. I don't know how half of these ppl do it. Btw good job on the pips! Keep it up

Hi boophaty,
Are you talking about the same strategy from the original post in this thread. There is no mention of Fibs or 1H, 4H or Daily trend. How do you incorporate that into the strategy? Or can you possibly direct me to a post where you may have previously explained it.

Hello dave

Yes its the same strategy.. all that I have done to it is add a 60 sma to determine the trend I also wait for the close of the candle below the box. I use fibs for possible pivot points and let's me know when to stay out. I have never traded the original version. I made it my own from day and the way I have been trading it is almost 100%

Interesting. I'm not sure how you use fibs to stay out though. Also, you mentioned 1H, 4H and Daily TF's.

I actually use fib pivots to help from entering to soon. If the candle closes by the pivot I wait for the pull back then enter. Not often does it happen but it helps. I use higher time frames to get the overall direction of trend if traded in right direction you are guaranteed at least 20 pips.
