STE at 50 EMA. I'll move the stop at BE if price breaks below the previous swing low or 2 minutes before UK data.

Stop at +11 pts. {image}
Nice move catching!
As I can see - the position is managed to be closed in three parts. And the third is still open (for the moment on the picture).

December is perfect month for volatility trading. Range trading followed by sudden spikes. Total cost of the strangle was 9.1 pts for a payout of 100 pts. Call expired in the money and the net profit is 90.9 pts.

To SRMFX: I wonder how many here are really aware of the gold you are offering them.

I only have 2 setups built over time that I trust and are consistently profitable but I'm always looking for another QUALITY killer setup to help the waiting around/boredom. There is a setup you use often that I have seen developing before my eyes on the charts many times but could never read it correctly or should I say never followed it through. I just want to say thanks for your thread as I now can easily identify and trade the hell out of it. I have added it to my bag of goodies and I have to admit that it produces more pips than my setups.

So again, Thanks and keep up the good work.

Thanks! I created this thread and wrote all the books in tw languages because of the same boredom you are talking about. When trading is boring you are real trader.

Hallo srmfx.

Thank you for your system.
I have a question.
What would you do?
Big Money is short, but no retrace to EMA's.
Nothing or waiting or ....

I'll wait for a test of the EMA. December is not a typical month. Liquidity is lower than usual. I prefer to trade volatility.

USD/JPY gravitating around 103. Option expiries for 1.2 bn act as magnet. You'd better forget this pair until NY cut.

Hi srmfx, In your experience, what's your take on how price is acting this early in week so far. I'm sitting on the sidelines until after New Years. I don't like what I'm seeing. Is it just early in the week, December or something else?

It's December. Bonuses of dealers and fund managers usually are calculated based on their results as of November 30th. They just don't care about the market in December. Also FED meeting is weighing on volatility. This meeting could be the turning ponit in FED monetary policy.
Quotes can tell you wht's going on. Ticks are smaller and you can't see often a few consecutive larger ticks in one direction.

Increased volatility could be expected around UK inflation numbers. Net profit is 56 pts. Max risk 14 pts.

Thanks... Yes, I can actually see these small spotty candles in the 1 minute charts which is why I asked. They look like Sunday open candles...

Thanks

You are right that even 1M candles look strange these days.

Options classics. Large 103 options expired at NY cut and the price jumped 10 pips immediately.

US treasury yields are up which means that EUR/USD should be down. Stop is 3.6 pips.
