Measure the High and Low between the Open of the Friday 8am utc gmt candle through the Close of Monday 7am utc gmt candle.

Modify the Fib Tool to minimally have the following %s:

Buy Take Profit: 137.50 %
Buy Entry: 107.00 %
Buy Stop Loss: 76.50 %

Sell Stop Loss: 23.50 %
Sell Entry: -7.00 %
Sell Take Profit: -37.50 %

100%, not added to the Fib Tool, is the High.
0%, not added to the Fib Tool, is the Low.

If Monday is an inside day, use Friday.

Do not trade after the Close of the Friday 13 utc gmt candle.

Move the Fib Tool once each week.

Dear Barney,

Interesting strategy based on Fibo, few question:

1) is the strategy for monday setup only? how bout Tuesday to Firday's setup?
2) once you draw the Fibo, do you immediately place pending order or wait for retracement to the level stated in post#1
3) if i not mistaken, you draw the fibo line in 1h TF, right?

1) MBO is only for Friday to Monday. You can checkout what happens Tuesday to Friday, enjoy the investigation.
2) Just place the order, no waiting for a retracement
3) I used the 1 hour timeframe to make it easy to understand

Colors are based on 6 hour increments. Could be trading sessions, but not for MBO.

Buy Take Profit: 137.50 %

Buy Stop Loss: 68.75 %

Sell Stop Loss: 31.25 %

The range of the trade. That is from entry to profit is very very small. Just about 30-35 pips. for a break out trade it seems abit small range

Also the stops loss is 30-35 pips. So the Risk:Reward are equal.

I am just calculating the rane from your fist chart.

I am sure on days when the overall range of Friday to monday during those specified times are large the Range of this breakout will also become large.

Have you tried it?

How many pips does the system generate on average?

Yes, I've tried it.

I have not calculated the average number of pips generated by MBO.

if it is profitable is highly doubtful

if it is, then trade in the opposite way on Tue, Wed, Thu, and Fri

same capital size, 4X more entries and getting rich quicker.
