Welcome Yup I do when I have extra profits, it's been responsible for many epic wins. Tonight is a good example for Frankfurt, it outpaced my German IFO Business climate lol. As long as you stick to basics: short SL long TP. The hardest thing is to stay in for an epic 400 pip win. Even nowadays I check my chart and cut profits at 200 or even lower. Not a good attitude if you want millions

hey tony

do you trade GU ? if so did you trade the GDP news earlier ?

iam curious to know how you could have entered when price fell so heaveily in just a few seconds. would your order have been filled with oanda on 5 sec chart ?

Thanx for the answer! True, today is a good example of Frankfurt trade. 200 - 400 pips... I'll keep on trading and hoping I'll ever see profit like this with such a R:R When it happens I'll buy a ticket to Canada to thank you personally

Yup, that looks totally valid since there's a 5 pip candle and SL is reduced to 0 very quick. Careful on 5 pip candles, not all are successful and it can result in recurring losses if the session is not good.

Hi Tony, Hows it goin ?
I've been monitoring this thread for 2 years, I liked how the system's idea is so simple and efficient in catching trends..
The only thing that is keeping me away from it is the variance involved. Have you calculated the avg. expected value return of a trade using this system ?

I'll give you the best and most golden advice:

1) SET SL TO 0
2) TURN OFF PC
3) LIVE LIFE
4) OPEN PC in a few days
5) OBSERVE ACCOUNT BALANCE

is this your stop beeing hit ? You are big fish, HUH !!

Or you played (too) big. If so, I am there too.

You did not joke when saying 1000 contracts ?!?
He is using Oanda which is a retail marketmaker so this has nothing to do with his stops , besides 1000 contracts is a tiny amount in EURUSD , nobody has influence on the markets not individuals anyway . The real Forex market is a total different world than the retail's .

In the living room, I'm sitting by myself
Thinking
Everybody's sleeping in this house
They've been sleeping since 5 long hours
I look outside
The houses are quiet, the windows are dark
As a matter of fact, most of the city is dark

I'm looking down at my striped dress pants
Thinking I made it
I'm a self made business man, a trader
I'm gonna die a business man, a trader
More than professional, it runs in my blood

I'm different, I'm rare
I'm smart and even though I'm here
My mind is light years away from you
Rare like diamonds are the people who understand
Rare are the people who will every stop and think
Back to doing what they do everyday
Time passes before they realize it's too late

A dream of a kid who looked at skyscrapers
Thinking of how they could be built
Falling digits, back in the days
Rained on my eyes, my head filled with clouds
Second by second, day by day
Sleep was my only very short pay

One day I'll be sleeping and these words will stay
May this poem lift the feather away
Tony

Today I made some compulsive sentimental gambling. Not happy about myself at all.
Here is the situation: Waking up at 7:56 am just before N. Y. open.
The baby is crawling on the bathroom floor while the 2 other kids are are taking a bath and mom is yelling for some morning stuff.
1 moment of inattention and press sell instead of buy. 2 pip loss. Regretting, took 2 additional trades on a 400k$ account.
It's heavy. Shouldn't have took them. After an epic win comes and I didn't get in. Some days are very bad and cost me a lot.
This morning cost me about 5500$ not considering the fact I missed that epic win.

Update... by the way, I'm not an aggressive person but today, because I slept only 3 hours yesterday.... I completely destroyed my desk hitting in raw with my hand and punch. The drawers are not even fitting and there's wood all over the floor that I picked up because of the kids. Feels good.

Hello Tony!

I must say this thread was a fun read with your discoballs and mother of gods. I'm completely new to forex and I've just been reading about forex for about 2 months only.

I have tested some strategies with demo account but I must say that this strategy seems to be the gold mine for me!
I'm gonna practice this method for some time in demo and when I'm confident I'll put some small capital to get it going.

I just have a few guestions for you to get me started. I have read almost the whole thread but I'm still uncertain how you guys determine the initial direction.

Do you count 1 or 2 pips from the first open candle to be the direction or do you hunt 5 sec candles after the open time? Or are both valid strategies?

Also roughly how many percent of trades do you get to 0sl?

If you or somebody could answer these guestions I'd be glad
