{quote} I got AU and AJ using your method

Outstanding GiLR! On my charts AU didn't give a 1st candle setup so I couldn't enter on the 2nd candle. So I skipped it as I would have had to enter on the 3rd candle.

The problem is the demo one set to take 1st batch profit at 10 pips at 50 percent lot 2nd batch at 10 pips at 50 percent lot Look at the chart below, It didn't took the 1st batch profit. Did I miss anything ? Please help. {image} P.S. I am running the same cavemanger settings with lot 0.20 size on one live trade, so I am bit worried. Regards

Hi MrAussieFX,

To be honest I don't know what to suggest to solve that problem since I don't use the batch TP's I have that setting on false. Sorry!

Hi All, Took 2 trades this morning. Both are doing good. For some unforeseen reason I didn't notice AJ gave a signal so I didn't enter a trade in it sadly If I would have seen it I would be up almost 200 pips for the week in just 3 trades. However I can't cry over spilled milk. I hope others took the AJ trade and are up big for the start of the week! {image} {image}
good trades. what are your criteria for entering? and what times do you trade on the h4?
Come tomorrow, I'll wake up new

Took AU when it filled the open gap :}

I trade with Excel, but I also have demo's of IamFX and Alpari running which have different gmt offsets and so different 4hr bar closes. Experiment to get into those first bar signals

LOL GilR,

I left a lot today for you guys. I blame it on the girlfriend harassing me about my alarm going off every 4hours at night. I told her I will try to find her some cute pink ear plugs or That I could get her a bottle of ZZZquil. She didn't like either answer. So I then had to explained to her the correlation between me trading and her driving that nice convertible and all those fancy purses. I think she got the point so she won't be having anymore issues or else she will get a pink-slip.

God job dealing with your lady.
As33156, have you been keeping record on difference between Big E's 4H candles signals (10pm, 2am, 6am - Pacific) and the rest? Is it worth it to trade every 4H candle? I know toady was a good example - I missed 40 Pips on average on 3 pairs that I traded only because I followed Big E's rule to start trading at 10PM Pacific and not before.
Appreciate your reply.
Huge.

Get a watch with an alarm that vibrates, I use a FitBit Force, and I tell you what, that alarm never fails to awaken me, but it won't disturb the wife

{quote} Oh, and by the way; in 1995 I was afflicted by something which at the time seemed quite grim. I was a regular "after-work" patron of "The Harp" (a small but wonderful Irish tavern on 72nd Street in upper West-side Manhattan) and I will always remember my friend and bartender (Kevin was his name) who gave me two very good, and very kind, words of advice: "Stick around." I just wanted to pass that on; being that was almost twenty years ago, and perhaps because today is St. Patrick's Day, ...I remember it, like it was yesterday.
I hope you doing well,I was your customer long time ago then...

Hi Hugecat,

Thanks! I trade every single 4hr period. I have personally found that every 4hr period is profitable. So I disregard that rule of Big E's because I would miss a lot of pips if I followed it. Best of Luck!

As33156, Thanx again!
I know you cleared that for me last week, but I'm still being a chicken to disobey the TMS original guidances. Nevertheless, made my 50 Pips today and it's good for the start.
Cheers and lots of pips to you!

{quote} EU not out of the woods yet. Still wide range consolidation so we must manage the trades and get some pips. The next bigger move is still in the making and need some news or major event to make that happen. We plan for the next big one. {image}
Yeah, I did give me nothing but -2 Pips
