That good! I thought you were with an MT4 platform.
Invest in creating their EAs, because one day you need one!

There was a 14.8 pips 5sec bull candle at 10:00 GMT; it went down like 1 pip then took off for more than 40 pips. I didn't enter since I was trading M1 but watching 5 sec charts. Oanda plays with the spread lately big time btw.
r u ready?

Hi,

This brilliant idea works also on 1m. TF.

Todays trade. SL reduced to 0, right now +30p.

i get no sleep whatsoever
i find it strange oanda accepts these orders day after day as they cant hedge well in this type of market.

20M short to accept and hedge say on average 3 pips lower thru futures as there are few bids & physical....

At least they increase bid/ask so that stop must be much more than 2 pips.

this may be easier thru futures but again, stops can cause couple of pips slippage, sometimes quite a bit more.


not sure....

what idea is this ? can you elaborate.

not sure when you entered this trade, but london open at 8am london time, the first 1m candle at 8am was a 2 pip buy candle. so if you had entered in that direction you would have been stopped out for -2 pips or -5 pips.

what time did you enter your trade and why that time and not london open ?

WhatFX,

There are 2 ideas presented in this thread.

1) Enter in initial direction of market open- im not using this one.

2)First 5 sec cendle that is +5p. high. I modified this idea. I'm waiting for first +8 pip candle in first 2 hours of market open. I prefer to trade at London open, 1m TF.

Thats it. On and on again. First big candle that starts volitility during first 2 hours of London/ NY open.

And main idea of this thraed in my opinion is:

Small SL, big TP, proper acc management, covering all loses at end of the week.
