+30 pips on G/J. I was trailing the previous bar on the 4hr chart and my stop was hit. (may have to re-think that strategy).
Cad/Jpy currently at +100 pips.

Had three trades last week allof which hit my 30 pip stop, so today is making that back again

usdjpy - long (way overbought)
usdchf - short (perhaps the best option in this list)
cadjpy - long, only just by 0.002 on my terminal. Very overbought though)

please highlight any others you find...

Yes USD/Chf is one to watch. Needs to break support @ 0.9089.
Keep an eye on Aud/Nzd for a short. It's not quite a inside bar on my platform, but close enough.

Hi Guys,

I've just finished reading through the thread over the past few days and I'm very excited to start trading this method from next week. I'm trying to overcome my fear of losses and this system appears to offer clear rules (aside from determining the trend) which will hopefully help me to just follow a process without letting my emotions takeover.

@ Olu & Simmo24 - I've notice that you both have kept with this system for sometime. You've obviously been profitable. Would you mind sharing some of your results over the last few months?

My broker is GMT +2, just wondering whether my daily bars will be the same. What GMT time are others watching?

Looking forward to testing this out.

Hi All

Been away for a while. I've been a bit busy with the day job . Also I've started to trade this system live and it's immediately gone quiet. Seems to be a lot of pairs in consolidation at the moment. I have had a couple of live trades which I made a small profit on, but closed to early (it's tougher leaving them alone trading live), but I'm sure I'll improve. I'll try to post some live trades, but I'm being a lot more selective now

I know how the day job can affect things. It is important though even though I look to break free from it soon. It ha supported my lifestyle and family till now.

Closed out two trades for +49 pis & +71 pips. The screen prints shown are 1 hour charts for clarity, the trades were taken off the Daily chart inside bars.
Waiting for a way back in the trades, probably IB off the 1 hour.

just a quick question for the pending order what if it doesnt trigger on the next candle but made new high or low do we cancel the order? for eg a pending long, the next candle made a lower low do we cancel the buy order?
