Quoting Pippopotamus
On close of 16:00 GMT candle, position size on entries was reduced by 1/3. If entries are triggered between 20:00, and 12:00 GMT, a break of Upper Price Channel during 12:00, or 16:00 candles will be used to bring trades to full position size. Earlier, this technique was not well explained.
Hi Pippo.....After enough coffee this morning I was able to figure this post out and I'll adjust lot size per formula.....

Have a great day

Have decided to cover the downside on Euro as well...We'll see if SNB is as good as its word...If not, will stop eating Swiss cheese...Buy orders at 1.19500, .19000, and .18500..SL, and TP the same for all entries...1.18000, and .20000. Order to Buy a break of yesterday's high still stands.

Have placed a Buy order at H of 08:00 candle to add remaining 1/3 of position to Euro trade...Looks like I missed the chance to add to the Cable trade at close of 08:00 candle...Failed to set B pending at Channel H ...Too busy...making breakfast...asparagus omelette...Folksy here down on the farm...Ain't it?...EDIT:Looking closer at Cable, I may not have missed a chance after all...

Good Trading

Have adjusted stops on both trades...Euro slouching a bit...Have no idea what happened to my pending B on Cable...Vanished...Still at only 2/3 position size...I have attached a Price Channel indicator. Whip, use it instead of Donchian...Donchian fills Journal with BS...

In addition to H4 trading, might be fun to catch a 1-2 yr trend...Lets' try...With SNB's recent policy statement, who knows ...? Chart is W1...Spread Swap Indy added just in case...May trade pos swaps at 1.50 position, and neg swaps at 0.50 position, discretionary. Will be looking at all pairs on Oanda US. ...Anyway, no big deal to check charts once a week, and over the weekend at that...I like it already. Entries on new H/L after a candle close above/below YoYo. While in trend, after a retracement, position size will be increased by .15 (orig. position size) when a new H/L is made...This, like most others, is a work in progress...Looking At Gbp/Chf chart attached...Will be placing an order to Buy at H of this weeks candle...SL at YoYo, TP, Infinite...........................
