Well I missed out on trading yesterday but made up for that just now. Had to use a bigger stop than normal thus the take profit was larger too... but none of that matted as it climbed up pretty quickly!

The entry point for this morning's trade was during the 8.16 bar, until that point price had reversed against the signal.

Entering a trade whilst price is clearly moving against you is the surest way to lose money, don't understand why anyone does it.

Bobinabottle, maybe not lucky, maybe just using basic trading skill.

Yes, don't dispute the time of the signal, but then what happened?

Price immediately reversed against the signal, why would you enter a trade when price is clearly against you, that's suicide in this business.

Every trend from session open to London open has huge angle.
Even if rules say about first signal it's irrational to take it and expecting a good long entrance near week's high.
After all there must be room for Friday to go up.
Don't Fight Forces, Use Them.

Since 15th on 8am bias trades I've had 4 wins, 3 losses using basic method/mm but probably different trading rules.

Paulus designed this strat to be purely mechanical and that's how most of us are forward testing this.

Hi Sidefx, using basic indies/mm as in page 1.
Rules are geared to paulus's desire to capture retracements.
On 1 minute on EU the SL/TP has to be relative. If they are too high the chances are that more than a retracement is needed to profit.
So I use the tightest Sl's I can find (but not less than 2), no extensions apart from spread.
More info elsewhere if you're interested, check in my profile.

I'm using Paulus' original rules including his 2hr directional bias. What's your '8am bias'?...a 1hr (7-8am) slot for the trade direction?...haven't been able to wade through all your posts to find it. Cheers.

On the 8am Bias trades use the 2 hours prior to London open.

Good day to all.

The system looks and sounds interesting with some mixed results.Sounds to me that you guys are trying to fade the Frankfurt open also known as Frankie or the Frankie fake.Does anybody have any idea why the the person that started this thread abandon it?

Does any body keep a trade record for these trades for the last 2months?

The R:R ratio should be able to keep the system afloat for a while but seems like there has been some problems of late?

Is anybody trading this system on there live accounts or are we still in the demo phase of it all?

Hope someone will be able to provide some data for analysis so we can see if the system has some value.

GOOD LUCK AND GREEN PIPS TO ALL INVOLVED
