{quote} Hi, sorry I did not reply sooner. I am currently trading a method trading only e/j and nothing else and originally I was looking for 10 pips. 10 pips on e/j daily being broken is currently 79% strike rate, the lowest being 75% and highest 84%, I have tested it over 25 years and also in blocks of 5 years. My exact method will not be disclosed but any pro city trader will know what I am doing. Robs monthly method is good, I honestly think the weekly is even better but I have no data and daily is the one for me. With a bit of extra information...
Thank you Billy.

{quote} The March monthly candle was red, so April would be a sale.
On my chart the March monthly candle was up (blue).
I think the reason for the discrepancy, was there was a weekend gap between the end of Feb and beginning of March.
ie, the market gapped down over the weekend, but March ended higher than its open price.
Broker times might have something to do with it aswell, I'm using Oanda.

I think I may have used 2013 data? Seems to be the only one that is incorrect.

Thanks

Do not know how you are doing these spreadsheets ... I think it will be a big job, but look at post 01 that AUDUSD +60 pips winner was ... the broker is the IC markets, should give any difference ... just a note ... Congratulations patience.

Since you mention ICMarkets, I am testing on that same broker and have to agree with the other guys for a loss. August was an up candle so we buy in September. As you see from the picture, the open was 0.93256 so the buy was 0.93456 which didn't make the TP by a few pips. How come you have a buy at 0.93344 on ICMArkets?

Hi Rob,
I am using Oanda which must have a different GMT Offset to explain the difference.
I would expect results would even out over time.

We must focus on the following:

GET 10% PER MONTH FOR THE PERIOD OF 04 YEARS.

1K = 100K IN 04 YEARS.

1K STARTING WITH, WE WORK WITH LOT OF 0.02. NEED 500 PIPS PER MONTH.

27 STARTERS, BEING: 60 PIPS PIPS FOR TP AND 100 OF STOP
WIN 20 = 1200 PIPS
LOSE 07 = 700 PIPS

BALANCE = 500 PIPS X 0.02 = + - 100 DOLLARS = 10%

DO NOT KNOW IF ANY MONTH THAT HAD LOST 07 TIMES

WE MUST ALSO KNOW THAT MONTH HAS SOME COUPLES, ORDERS NO ARMS.

REPEAT THAT WORK FOR 04 YEARS, ALL TOGETHER.

EVERY LOT 500 DOLLARS RAISE IN 0.01

PATIENCE, DISCIPLINE and FOCUS

ONLY 20 MINUTES OF WORK PER MONTH

Robinho, what stop loss would you apply if we were to go with TP of 10 pips?

The Forex Market is a short blanket, or covering the head, feet or copper ... would that work with the same 100 pips STOP ... do not like that idea ... but can begin to compensate for the number of victories over time ... I think we would win many months in a row ... can not lose more than 02 entries per month ... see:

27 entries:
25 wins = 250 pips
02 losses = 200 pips
profit = 50 pips

Can not lose more than 02 entries, looking back, I see many victories, but the market is the market.



27 winning entries 27x10x = .20 = $ 540/54%

Winning entries 26 = 26x 10x .20 = $ 520
Defeat 01x100x0,20 = 01 = $ 200
BALANCE = $ 320/32%

Winning entries 25 = 25x 10x .20 = $ 500
Defeats 02x100x0,20 = 02 = $ 400
BALANCE = $ 100/10%

Within this idea, we have an account with 1k batch work with 0.20 ... and we can not lose more than 02 entries.

50 pips = $ 100 x 0.20 = 10%

How many months would win the 27 entries?

Can not go by color alone when Doji ... this is basic ... 01/05/2013 See the EURJPY pair.Pay attention, and nothing more.

One option could be to leave a doji alone for that month.
