D/t I think we had agreed to help everyone on the thread you may be right, but if we give the guys ALL the tools then we show from time to time examples of them in use, would that not be a better and more helpful way, then as you say they could show us, as is now happening, there tools and how they use them. Never no it might let me explain about the train station and the driver, big station today and he is on strike again hahaha, come on mate do your stuff your good at it

Very difficult to do what you're after there Dave, trying to enter on lower timeframes then manage on the higher one, very , very difficult to get right. Its one of those things that looks very easy looking back but very difficult as you trade in real time.

Would be good to work out something but just so hard from practical experience you get up many times and it all goes back....or even worst as you found out trying to tip toe behind it and get a loser...
Feel the Fear and do it anyway!!!

I'm only going for 5pips. Here's the scripts and EA to trail/BE. For the scripts to work, you need to use the "set" script first to get the settings you like. I use % risk and not a set lot size, that way it compounds correctly. Good luck and have fun ! -Jason

Clive/DT Been out most of the morning just got back, I had left a live sell in the market entry was 1.5177 price was at 5160 when I went out, got a stop in at breakeven as you can see I have got stopped out, so please do not worry about me having a 12 pip loss, I just play the game different than you guys. Clive you often mention all trends start from 1 min well I think all trends start from a number/price most times I enter a trade with a 31 pip initial stop to give the trade chance to breath and I believe that I have a fair edge were/when turning points will happen (far from 100% I accept) its served me well for a long time. You and the guys bang along with this 5pips stuff and I have to say it as merit and some guys on here are very very good at it and a big well done to them, but its not for me as you know. Enough rambling from me Clive just leave you with this, you know were I would be in a BUY from now and I did say clearly I was trying to take a flyer before the signal even my early trade today was before the correct signal. D/t not to sure why you repeated Clives quote could you please explain the reason I think I am missing something

Looks like some news took gbp up but I looked twice and never saw anything listed.

Anyway I think this trade is worth posting even if it ended up at just above BE. Sold GA, clean AB move lower, GA top of TT and 4 of top 8 were GBP weak pairs. Good angle and separation on ma's. After entry the GBP weakness left and only GA was sitting at top of TT. I was aware we sold into a SR level but the small reaction to it suggested level would fail.

The strength/weakness across the board that I like to see was completely gone so when we came back to test entry (which I'd normally leave) for the first time I though it sensible to exit.

Jason, why did you enter after the second pullback? Why did you not enter in the first?
Thanks.

Hi Guys,

this week I focused 100% on this system without watching any other BS. Since Monday 15 trades - 15 winners.

Going good so far. Btw, max stop loss I had on every trade was -10 pips, mostly even less, something like -5 to -7 pips.

Due to this small risk I could increase my lot sizes quite nicely. End of the game, $3.100 in the pocket for three days.

Since I skipped to watch all other stuff and keep it simple with as little indicators as possible it became more profitable.

Success and good rest of the week!

{quote} Jason, why did you enter after the second pullback? Why did you not enter in the first? Thanks.
I was wondering if that would be noticed, haha. Good question. The answer is I did take the first pullback at that same level. It moved to +3.4pips and kicked in my trailing stop (set at 3pips). Then price went back down and canceled the trade (this is why the pip-o-meter shows a ".4"). When price went back down I re-entered and it went up again for my 5pips. Funny, I did the same thing on two accounts with the same result. if you mean the very first pullback in the trend, down where price came back to the 50 level and touched the MA, I was wishing I had entered there. However, it was the transition between Frankfort open and London open. I was uncertain about the uptrend continuing.

I did not see any news listed beforehand either . .
