Excellent trades, Pete!
Thanks, but not even close to your 900 pip day, Andreas!... You could be done for the month! or quarter... heck, that's my goal for 3 months...
Good pipping everyone!

The 18% increase in account size today was luck and not trading skill at all.
In normal months I only average around 6% per month, which is far less than professional traders do.

I think LG mentioned once that she get's around 12% per month consistently so that is a goal I work for but never was able to achieve it yet.

Cheers
Andreas

The big move is scary...it could have moved against our position, gaping passed the stop loss and lose the whole account. You're right, this time we got lucky.

andreasF and pippette,

If you lads go through a list of successful BO(even the ones that you didnt take) and then zoom out to successive higher time frames to see what kind of candlesticks the BO formed into as a whole, when condensed into a higher time frame. And then watch for the relations of that candlestick to S/R levels in the area. Perhaps, that could help narrow why some BO are more successful than others.
Because if your BO is a marobozu or hammer, that means two completely different things.

my two cents.

Hi dddd

Yes, excellent advice.
I also work on including J16 methods into our H1 BO to increase probabilities.

Thanks
Andreas

Andreas, congratulations. 6% monthly consistently is very good.

Questions: More or less Since when have these results?

How much is your maximum risk percentage in each order vs equity?

You only use the strategies of this thread? H1 4C BO, gaps, Money Tree and 3 Taps?

Thank you very much.

Hi Maudur

Questions: More or less Since when have these results?
It's a bit more than a year. Before I lost 2 live accounts by not setting a SL.


How much is your maximum risk percentage in each order vs equity?
1% risk per order, maximum of 2 orders at the same time

I trade both LG's methods (around 20 trades/month) and James16 (around 4 trades per month)

Nice trades, Pete
May I ask you what is your average monthly return?
How many H1 BO trades do you take on average per month?

Thanks

Hi Andreas, thanks for sharing your information with us. Were you a member of James16 private group or did you learn the methods from his thread in ff? I like LG's breakout strategy and I am also trying to learn to trade daily/weekly charts. I think both the BO and longer term charts combined can be a good strategy to have for us part-time traders...
