Waited hours for this move almost didnt catch it eating. Chinese food flying everywhere when i saw the spike. Pulled out 35 pips from this one and I'm going to sleep until 12am.. It's 9:53 here in nyc. I'll see you guys after the london session. Peace homies!!

[P.S. you know this pair has an 8 pip spread (on forex.com) sheesh. ]

Hey Almo, I see the trade might have went against you.. well atleast for the moment. What you said in your post was "breakout happened" and that's good that you are seeing that BUT for the future trades WAIT for a "CLOSE to happen" a minimum of 5pips from(above below) the CZ (consolidation zone). For even more sense of market direction wait for another 5M, 10m, or even one more 15M candle to close above (or below) the CZ and in the direction of the breakout.

Essentially this would help you to make Higher Probability trades. Nonetheless this is a learning experience. I was were you are now only one month ago before FxH started this thread.

A close not a breakout would "confirm" the price behavior. By confirm meaning higher probability.

Be patient my friend
Anderson.....ok I'm really going to sleep now I have 1hr and 30 till London.

I had to stick it out while it went against me, but it was worth the wait.

Granted this is a demo trade, but its already showing promise that this method works.


Thanks FxH

LOL @ Almo!: This system has been "showing promise" to me for almost 3 years! By the time you get to the same place, it will be 6! LOL

Congrats on another one.

This might not be the fanciest method or the coolest but you can't be upset with constant gains. Now its to see if I can optimize the gains 60+ pips, that would be the next step for us.

I haven't checked to confirm, but I suspect the box size being 30, will limit the optimization of 60. You may have to increase size to 60 to get your optimization your looking for.

This may also require using a higher TF.....?

Actually a few trades back I pulled 40+ pips. That's all Risk ratio. What I do is put my TP at the previous top of the most recent CZ. Sometimes times at previous Support and Resistance leves but the past CZ zones method tends to pan out pretty fairly lately.

The size of the Consolidation box doesn't have much to do with how much profit you take because when there is a breakout we don't know how far the price will go.
