When trading with sqDynamicBreakoutBox indicator, do I use buy/sell limit order, or buy/sell stop order?

How do you all trade?

Trade set completed on EU with (small) profit.

Thanks for the assist with trade MM Sue I need to keep tweaking but it really helped my mind set in the trade.

Helped loads as my usual approach may have ended with a small loss. This has boosted my confidence in the stairstep even more.

Glad I could be of assistance Casey. I thought EU was itching to break out :-)

Keep tweaking the settings and find something you are comfortable with. Make your own system and you will have full confidence in it. That's why I love what FxH has given us here: it's the perfect foundation for us to do that.

Hi Folks !

Been awhile since my last visit to the thread.

I stopped by to say that the method that ForexHard created goes beyond the currency market.

I have been trading the same exact philosophic approach using options on the FTSE index for two months now.

And boy i have to say: it works like a beauty!! So not that he (FxH) needs any more congratulations, but i have to say this out loud to him: you have changed my view and perspective of the markets in such a positive way my friend!

Thank You!

This is not a thread type question, so I will explain.

Breakouts need the order to be a Stop order, because you are wanting price to continue beyond your buy or sell level.

Limit orders are set when you want price to reverse, so a buy limit order is set at a level where you expect price to go down to before going back up and the opposite for a sell limit order.

Now for the rest please read the thread.

Just a quick Q. Obviously got the EU and GU CZ formed and both look good. But I haven't traded this strategy during NFP before and just wondering if anybody had any thoughts on it?

I see FXH was looking at the GU CZ so I've put my orders in but obviously NFP can be fun sometimes.

As a rule I try to stay away from the market on NFP days as I've been caught out with widening spreads in the past.

If I decide to trade, I'll wait until the first couple of minutes of madness dies down, then see if price is still in a good position to take a trade (i.e. still within the CZ or retracing back to one edge for a clear bounce).

My advice if you're unsure would be to watch carefully from the sidelines or trade it on demo (but make sure your demo account has comparable spreads to a live account).

This is a wonderful thread.

Thanks for FxH for keeping it on topic and focused too, from this wonderfully simple concept there's many ways to trade it.

I did have a basic question... is there is a simple indicator or tip to identify consolidation zones without having to have all the charts open all the time and monitor them all?

Thank you to everyone.

Personally I limit my trading of this strategy to Gu or EU (UChf).
If you go looking for every CZ available you will go mad trying to trade them all as they will probably break out at more or less the same time.

The pairs you choose should have some relevance to the time zone that you are in and therefor able to trade.

Couldn't agree with Larry more. There are huge benefits to focusing on one pair at a time and learning all it's characteristics. When you feel that you know a pair inside out, then think about adding another.

I'm only live trading Cable at the moment, and I won't be adding any other pairs until I feel that I really understand it. If that takes another year, or two years, then so be it.
