Anyone with input is welcome, maybe you have an idea to add.
Daily break is simple but you need a back up plan when trade goes against.....



edit,,, nothing to do with breakout but on the 4 hour it is giving signs of dropping currently at 13479, if so I can sleep and just set alarm or have a cider

you got it Phil and g'day (said in pommie accent)


edit, I was showing a Spanish guy how to trade last summer and his philosophy was go for one pip, like putting your shirt on black in roulette (or red). he has now retired. Last I heard he was looking for 5/10 pips and hitting it hard

Yeah I think I mentioned on Claudias thread that I had changed my mindset regarding trading and I was embracing larger lots and small targets. Your method is great for me billy, pending orders and 5 pips target is likely to happen more often than not. Trailing makes sense too but I will lock the 5 in first and any more is a bonus.

By the way I have stopped using the term Pommie, the Poms over here are getting a bit precious.........

lol your a star bud,poms, gringos what ever ..
Just before Christmas I was supposed to be saving up for the holiday so I started using 3 trades, one for 5 ,one for 10 and the other for 15 and let it run but something happened so I didn't stick to it, but I am back doing it.
The only trouble is like this morning when e/j low was broken it reversed and trying to correct 3 trades against is hard work and large sums of money are involved.
so being positive I will stick to 5 and let 15 run (2 trades)

chart shows todays daily candle, It broke Tuesdays high for approx. 15 pips before retrace, I took 7 as it moved fast.
I normally take 5 but that extra 2 was an extra 40%...
I added my trade statement no idea why, no need for me to show how much but it is real money and actually not that much, or enough to get smashed for several days eat out and buy a string of hookers lol. (joking)


edit,,, on chart 1 = yesterdays high of 13520 and 2 = todays high so far 13535

Mornin billy....broke through at 1.17..great method and as you say with stats you can manage the retraces. Still too early/late for me so trying to find a way round it

a few weeks ago Swing made a good comment about entering on retrace and I agree.
But my way is hit it when it actually breaks as that is my style it is more of an adrenalin rush when it goes against lol.

nothing to do with daily breakout, but todays e/j open 13536 can be used as a level for an entry IF it is reached. I have done it in the past, but again keep stats

Hi billy,

nice clean strategy, I like it.
Do you set an initial SL for your orders? If yes how many pips away?

Thanks.

regards,
