We have the NFP out of the way. The spike retraces can normally be traded with no problem. I left it alone. I have shut down Pc until Monday so let the weekend begin. Hope anyone who traded made good points, Be good.

​Claudia I keep seeing your breakout boxes. where do you set them - ie. is it based on a certain time or on a candle formation?

Difficult one to explain but I'll try. Basically I'm looking for a ranging market of say 25 to 30 points over a few hours on g/u. The longer it ranges the better the break out usually.

This happens quite often overnight my time (UK) when market can be slow. Simple as that.

It's very similar to something FXHard traded I recall talking to him about it ages ago and he did develop an indi. Hanover has something similar too. I set mine manually.

Edit: here you go not exactly what I do but close and worth a look http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=302007

{quote} Of course I don't mind. Your analysis to me is very good. Still say you don't need BB's but if you comfortable with them as Rabbit is then so be it - your choice not mine! You should be making money consistently by now. The only thing that will hold you back is you and that's not meant as a criticism. Good luck in 2016.
Thanks Claudia and Billy

I looked at the 3 minute Dow earlier today, noted a spinning top/hesitation below a 0050 and noted earlier bounce off Pivot. Walked away and just looked at it a few minutes ago. Note previous Daily Low.

Here's a set up forming from yesterday on g/u.

Price been stuck in a 20 point range for 20 x 15 min bars. Only thing I would add is we are approaching a major level at 4500 might take some breaking.

Dear Billytt,

I have recently started trying to trade Forex seriously after losing some money trying to do so a couple of years ago. The main reason I was put of was not so much due to the money loss but what appears to have been a very complex business to enter and stay on top of. Thankfully after reading a number of articles as well as coming across your post, I do feel, it is now the right time to give it another try. Like most people I have a job that pays the bills. How wonderful it would be to have a trading system that not only allows me to work for myself but also allows, hopefully, one day to share my knowledge for the benefit of others, as you do.

Apologies for the ranting above but I do have a few questions regarding the process if I may?

Firstly I have managed to read up to page 52 of this great thread and am hoping to go through at least the same tomorrow ( wife permitting!)

 

  1. I noticed that the tread advises on trading the daily open but there are a lot of charts with 15 min, 5 mins etc so would be grateful if you could advise on which chart I should use.
  2. When deciding on the direction, do you also consider the wick of the candle?
  3. Am I correct you only consider the previous days candle relevant if it has 25pips
  4. Out of curiosity how long does it normally take for the 5 pips to materialise? The reason I ask this question is that I live in the UK and would like to understand at what time I can realistically finish for the day
  5. Is there any reason that the 12.00am time session is chosen?

By the way, the idea of opening 2 trades is really good allowing a banking of 5 pips and hopefully the second trade to reap some more pips.

Apologies if my email appears to be to demanding - that is not my intention.

Regards BL.

Blaze, First of all the thread is DAILY BREAKOUT but we also add the 04-00 and sometimes 12-00 breakout on 4 hour candle.
We also speak about Daily and sometimes 4 hour inside/outside bars. We also have invaluable information off the others from pin bars to consolidation breakouts and these can be on any time frame...

Blaze,,, I traded Daily Break (or did) on E/J and G/U only ...
E/J and G/U STATS are very good going back years and years. Stats are very important as you can then work out percentages/odds etc.
You have to feel comfortable whether you trade 100 0r 1000 and when you realise how the machine works you can then trade hard and even compound.

Don't forget, the low/high gets broken and then quite often it retraces so money management.method is crucial and that is the hard part as you need a good plan..

edit,, the 2 circled candles are weekend and I do not want to confuse you yet

The Daily Break can happen at any time, During the Asian session usually more sedate and bigger better moves when UK market open

On Sunday open we normally have GAPS, these can be traded back to the Friday close price. I do not do this.

A/U the Sunday range is quite big 45 points. I will not trade off this. So I wait until the 04-00 4 hour candle to close. This is not DAILY BREAKOUT Trading.

E/J I just looked, Fri daily low was broken for 34 minus spread, a good trade. Sunday Range is good to trade the Daily Break. It could drop to the oo, But be wary of it being over sold

Thanks Bill and apologies for the atrocious spelling in my last reply - blame it partly on this unearthly hour!

Regarding e/j I cannot see any real breakout at the moment or am I missing something?
