{quote} Shanghai...try to get yourself an Mt4 platform....FXCM has that available as I notice you are on their standard platform.. (but the best is to get with an ECN broker with very small spreads).........the reason for this is quite simple, the charts that have been formatted by Udine really have some special qualities...not just the 00 but also highlighted are the BRN like your just experienced....the warning was very clear...it was a dangerous place to try to short and you paid the price..... {image}

Ahh i see, I really should start charting on mt4 so I can use his set up. Thanks again for the advice man. Currently the spurs I trade at fxcm are avg 1.4 pip spreads. Is this still relatively high? Also what's a good ecn broker for us clients? I always struggle trying to find regulated ones due to Dodd-frank. Thankfully me and my lady are moving to Germany in May so I will be able to trade with better brokers.

9pm JST (NY 1st hour) GJ short 173.500 TP +5.0 pipps (+0.70%)

A question for all the us traders out there, how far into the ny session do y'all usually trade? All the way to close or do you stop when the Lndon session ends?

{quote} So if you are risking 2% on each, you could possibly lose 6% total. Are you prepared for that?
Thank you for your concern.

My maximum risk was less than 6%. This is why.

Here in Japan, the maximum leverage of a personal account is 25 times.

I was not a sniper (scalper) before I knew Udine. 25 times was enough back then, but now it is different.

I can't take 2% risk for 10 pips.

I use my original script to calculate lotsize. Its basic idea is to take as much risk as possible (within the limit of the leverage).

I placed the three pending orders as I mentioned here, but I can have only one position at a time.

If the positions close one after another, their risk can be the total of the three positions.

What happened today was that first GJ was hit, and then GU was hit and cancelled, and then
EJ was hit and cancelled, and last GJ was TPed.

I'm going to open a new account with higher leverage.

Right now I thank the fact I have a forex account and I was guided to this thread.

As the master says, I try to get the most of what I have now.

EDIT: risk 10pips and a mistake of tense

Im on the West Coast of Canada so trading London is difficult because of the time diff....(Midnight my time) so I usually trade the US session for the first 3 hours, or to the London fix....then I check into the last hour or so...usually a lot of balancing in play and some momentum into the close....but that is just me

Hi Can anyone please help? I have set my Daily Open Line time zone to -3 (NY close, which is also 21h00 GMT). I am trying to synchronise the AnyCandle indicator to the same start time. The only time setting i see is the Time shift which has a default of 0. I think this is H00 GMT. I have tried to synchronise to 21h00 GMT by changing the Time Shift to -3 and 21, but this does not seem to work. Any ideas? Regards Axiom
Yes I looked at that too and it shifts by DAYS not hours. I was going to try to fix it but only if I find time and desire. You should get a demo account with GMT+3 just to see the indicators and trade off your own account.

Wukar_WB_TRAIL_v1_3_2e seems to put the TP at a bit more than 5 pips lets see if i miss many closes this way otherwise i will change parameters
Sorry, when I posted that I left the commission at 7 which is mine. Set this to 0 and it will close right at 5 pips.

That's some really good work MM, particularly when you've been a big and positive help to others throughout.
I hope people can appreciate the PDF and BCC you bring to the table and use it in their own learning and trading.

I've started testing this system since last week with great interest.
Love this simple yet effective approach~ thank you, Udine.

Can anyone tell me what TS is? is this bringing your stop to BE at certain point and get stopped out? if so, when?

Trailing Stop. If using the EA to manage trades it will kick in once trade is 4 pips in profit and then close trade once it reverses by 3.5 pips. In theory making at least .5 pips profit.
