Tony, have you kept records as to your "hit rate" using 2 pip sl and 400 pip tp? I would imagine that you've not hit the 400 but a few times over the past several years?
just recently started 400, I've hit it twice already

the 1st candle wasn't a long one? btw it would have taken the sl anyway

OK, any thoughts on the question about trend asked earlier? You just ignore it?

My strongest opposition to this strategy is that a good percentage of the time you are trading against the trend. A good example is the trades that Tony has lost lately have been short EUR/USD but that pair has been in an uptrend since early January.
trends are not eternal, I don't complicate my mind with trends anymore

Another 20 pips TP just hit through a nice run that started 10 sec before the NYO. I got three so far since late Nov (Dec was a slow month though) and several BEs.
r u ready?

You just use a 20 pip target? What is your stop loss? 2 pips?

Yes, I've been testing with only TP=20 since Aliensfrog sent a spreadsheet showing the frequency of different TPs occurrences. I calculated some performance statistics based on that. This doesn't mean that 100 or 400 pips are less profitable because we don't know how accurate was that report. I'm just testing at this point to get an idea (actually not sure if I should post anymore and confuse some people). You can choose whatever TP you want. SL is 2, trail to BE asap.

Sounds like a perfect system for the broker -

Lose almost everyday, but add more money to your account every week.



Anyone need help in working with large CSV files? I have experience of that. What kind of editing would you need?

Send me a PM if you need help with CSV, I might be able to help, depending on what is needed

So 20 pips profit during 2 months? 10 Pips per month.

This is only for NYO, LO had more I think, plus Dec was pretty slow. But think about this in percentages of your account and also consider compounding.

Of course, you are right. Still seems like hard work for little pay.

You think it's hard work to trade 5-10 minutes every day and make 3-4 times ROI/year?!
