perhaps out of this on the first post

This system works on many JPY pairs.
GBP/JPY
EUR/JPY
AUD/JPY
CHF/JPY
CAD/JPY
**GBP/JPY is the best pair.
May work on other pairs, testing is required however.

i trade it only this pairs, sometimes E/U but you can trade it without indi, it is so stressfree

cheers

That's true, but I thought this is not one-time system

Does the original 1 Box Indicator posted by Ace still work with the latest MT4? Can't seem to get it to run.

Sorry to have to revoke this thread, but this method still seems very profitable, and as I've just joined I cannot create a new thread.

This is my first post, I am 16 years old, I've been trading on demo accounts for 6-7 months, and tomorrow from 4 am I start trading this strategy with a $1000 account, live. I've manually back-tested it and it seems profitable still now on GBP/JPY pair.

Wish me luck, as I'll start a Journal as soon as I'm allowed to post

Looks like GBPJPY on both 4H and Daily charts is heavily oversold, I see a Long coming

Made 4 trades this morning, based on multiple systems.

Used "Trading made Simple" system for basic idea of trend change, and confirmed it with price action figures. Entered on the GBPJPY pair for long, even though it hasn't broken the weekly box yet. But I'm sure it will.

Anyone else got any thoughts? See the charts I posted

EDIT::

Do any experienced traders think that my stop losses are too tight for the 4H charts? set at 30 Pips

Well luckily I adjusted my stops to 100 pips each, so far each trade is down 50 pips, they are all the same, hence only one chart.

I'm still thinking that the trend is going to reverse. The doubt is there in the back of my mind, but it's the least of my worries. I see if i manually backtest and look for similar setups it all comes around.

Anyone else have thoughts? I'd like to get involved with this great community from a young age :-)

What do you think about to code an EA with your strategy?
I think it can be done.


Quoting Ace284
I've seen breakout strategies for daily and weekly. I've never seen one like the one i'm about to present. DRAW a box connecting the high of the first 4hr candle(00:00) of the week with the low along with a buffer of 20 pips on each side. The week starts at the open of the Australian session. If I had a penny for every time someone has asked which candle it is..i wouldn't need to trade forex to make money. For the next person who is going to ask, follow these instructions. Download an FXDD platform. Press Ctrl+y on a 4hr chart. Lines will magically...
