With the gaps up in many pairs, I'm looking for a reversal bar at the current high of the day, with a view to trading all the way back down until the gap is filled.

Trading from the current high or low of the day, I believe, is actually the edge of this strategy....................

Please tell me that I am the only idiot who was looking elsewhere when EU and Swissy gave their signals. 1:1 in no time.

I saw them, but didn't take either of them.

Don't like trading against the gap........

Yeah fair enough. Gaps can take a while to fill. I have been listening to you, by the way Gt3rs. I am primarily going to use the swings as confirmation of trend trading, but if the bounce has a round number in the area then it will have a good case for a trade for me. My own version of Grade A, Grade B.

Cheers.

Yes "Caillou", show us your Friday trade... + 63pips.
Only this one to confirm when you entered/exited. What bar times ?

Thanks for that.

But at the end, saying "i made X pips" is not relevant. It is how much money you make that is. With 1 pip i can make a million dollar... But i must be very good, ok ?

R:R of 1:1 - you must be over 50% of wining/losing trades to be profitable. That is what must be backtested for one year. I will after i am sure to understand where Caillou enters and exits.

My 2 cents :

- 1 hour is too much
- The strategy...
Hi,

Sorry, you are right, on Friday it was not 63 pips, it was 67......

In one of my previous post you have how I enter and I exit, just Kraven´s rules.

Cheers

It was as an afterthought, but I didn't get a KRC on my chart. The Doji was green not red. So not an official entry.

It depends of your broker, on my broker the doji was red...

Yeah, absolutely. By fine margins fortunes are made and lost etc etc. Hope you scored on it.

Well I'm kicking myself for failing to look at EU and Swissy at 09:00 GMT. Got a little off of EJ. Gotta learn to let them run though. It is my weakest point and something I must master.

There´s a lot of things we´ve got to improve, but look for USDZAR 1h. It´s a possible good setup for a long entry.

I am limiting myself to 6 pairs and the Rand isn't one of them. But thanks for the tip all the same.

Cheers
