{quote} Jibala, my day is done too. Thank you again for your support. I think I found my way, really don't know if I get you 100% though.... (For instance don't know if it's so important Bid Ratio percentage as a trade filter...) Anyway, I see this GAP trading has a solid hard sense and works both ways: with the trend and against it. Let's try next week to have five positive days trading GAPs. My results this morning: {image} Regards, happy weekend TONI
Our goal always to have the green 0.00 on the loss side. All other will come! There was a time we made much more trades per day, but losses too. Hence we realized that it's much better to make a few trades only with some mere pips. Just enough for our daily needs, not to become rich. This week was fantastic because every morning when I had a look on account there were some trades done already. Some days 2, some other days four 4 or five 5 even.

For the filters I can say it's a long way and procedure to find out what finally works the best since our claims (users requirements) are very different.

Have a peaceful weekend.

Done for today, for the week! {image} GBPCAD finished within 15 sec.! Order Details: Main Trend DOWN, BR: 0.20 (+/- 0.75), RS: -3.66 (+/- 6.97), BS: -1.07 (+/- 4.54), BS GAP: 2.68 (+/- 1.77) {image} Order Details: Main Trend DOWN, BR: 0.22 (+/- 0.75), RS: -3.45 (+/- 7.00), BS: -2.24 (+/- 4.61), BS GAP: 3.19 (+/- 1.84) {image} For us the most important the "0.00" remains again this week in column loss!
Hi Jibala

I don't understand your logic. Could you explain?
I saw most of your trades are counter trend.

Great post Jibala!

Focus on reducing losses, winners will take care of themselves.
Persistence will get it. Consistency will keep it.

I agree so much with you Jibala. But at this moment, in demo account, I have to try my best the strategy in all market conditions to see what way works better, which filters are useful and which not, etc... Hence I need some more trades in a day that give me kind of backtest results. Anayway my look to the market will be very selective, picking just the best trades I could find. The zero loss objective it's on my mind, but in the end of the day my MUST is the green pips on there.

Thank you, keep on an on master

Because the topic of this thread is "...Trading the GAP..." and most GAPs are formed or occur when price change its direction.

{quote} PFO = Pips From (D)aily Open. It is not controlled by any input ADR=Average Daily Range. There is no input for it. It is the average of the 1,5,10, & 20 Period of the Daily ADR
if I understand correctly this code controls "ADR" how I can change this in to the value I chose. please any suggestion? nice weekend to all
"
void GetAdrValues() {
double s=0.0;
for (int i=0;i<ArraySize(TradePairs);i++) {
for(int a=1;a<=20;a++) {
if(pairinfo[i].PairPip != 0)
s=s+(iHigh(TradePairs[i],PERIOD_D1,a)-iLow(TradePairs[i],PERIOD_D1,a))/pairinfo[i].PairPip;
if(a==1)
adrvalues[i].adr1=MathRound(s);
if(a==5)
adrvalues[i].adr5=MathRound(s/5);
if(a==10)
adrvalues[i].adr10=MathRound(s/10);

Thanks Jibala

You set the TP 8 SL 35 and leave it work by itself or if Gap change opposite direction then we have to accept lose.

I'm sorry that I came up with a commercial indicator on a chart. I was advised to not show it, hence I just blurred it. I'd better cut it out or made it black!

Be sure, I've learned my lesson very well!
