{quote} Hi Alberto, I trade mainly AU, AJ, EU, EJ and GU using this TOK_5H breakout. But it can be used also for other pairs but you must know the average daily range and to pick a range suitable for identifying that quiet period of a market session and trade then breakout when liquidity returns to the market. The other thing you need to know is that I use R-Multiple for such trades. R is the initial risk of the trade, and this is usually the range of the 5H high-low plus, and profit is in multiples of that R. using a multi-lots entry and exits...
Thanks for the details. Good trading!

HI Pips29 - Can I confirm the settings on your moving average? I am using a 100 EMA set to close, no shift. Just not sure what others are using.
Thanks

One trade today on EA H1. Entered shortly after London Open when price broke above the previous candle. Exited manually following price setting a triple top.

Was in a similar trade. Was hanging in as HA candles on H4 was still blue but 'cos you exited, thought I'd better too! +55 and +60 but profit is profit.

How do you decide when to hang on and when to take profit?

Would you re-enter if the previous high is taken out?

I exit when there is a signal to do so. In this case, the time of day and the triple top tell me that price has probably moved up as far as it is going today. But as always, news or other events can move the market anytime. Most of the time, when price has moved 50 or 60 pips, I will wait for a candle to close in the opposite direction. I have found that once price moves 60+ pips in one direction, it will usually consolidate for several hours before reversing. No, I would not re-enter long due to the time of day and the London session is winding down. Hope this answers your questions.

EURJPY H1 today with patience - but thought too much

Exited meanwhile with a half position as price couldn't really hold the new high of the 3rd candle. I expected a possible turn after a beginning divergence and the long run of the last days. But this divergence came not into place.

The reentered with that 1/2 after APB seemed to stay above SMA and remained blue
=> Gave in total about 36 pips.

Just got back from doing some errands. The moving averages are a ema 200 set to close and the 5ema set to typical +2 shift. Going to the seafront in a shortwhile. Beautiful sunshine where I live

Wow so many great trades. Congratulations.

My intraday trade today is no good, 4 losses. I'm doing something wrong. Thankfully I made 2 wins from Daily trade so the damange was fairly minimal.

Thank you Phx2 for showing us your trade. Inspiring as always. I hope one day I'll be half as good as you.

When in back-testing specially looking to learn about LO and NYO boxes and how lo set the low , high, would you back-test while the boxes on the chart or you remove the boxes temporary when in back-testing mode?

Thanks

{quote} Hey Blamshakk I hope Bizzzle and you don't mind me answering this for you. Bizzzle stated that he is using page 1 TMS technique to do his trades. I have recently studied page 1 as I was directed to this thread by another user. What I believe Bizzzle is doing, if he is strictly following page 1 rules, is that he will look at trades 3 times a day only. These times are 10pm (pacific time), 2am (pacific time), and 6am (pacific time). These times are the same times Bizzzle is looking at the charts except he is doing so in his respective UK time....

Hi Omo. Can you explain your entry on Gold, please?
GBPCAD looks like an entry on retrace?

NZDUSD daily chart. Price showing 2 candles rejecting to go higher, TDI sloping down from 68 and divergence. I'm waiting for daily candle close to see if it's a valid short entry
