Why do you use fixed BE value (+5 pips) while SL is different distance in pis in each trade. It's your experiance with this system, or there is some logic behind? Did you try to move to BE when RR = 1:1 for example?

{image} We watched GBPUSD make a new daily high last hour. Those who shorted the highest open and held were rewarded with over 20 pips profit.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


You got my number; Simple.

Help me with the math on GU chart in post #53 please.

Here's what I'm guessing, regarding your statement about being 20p in profit, and using H1 open price of 1.4520*:
• Entry 1p below H1 Open (1.4519). Broker adds spread, so my actual entry is 1.4521
• Price falls 14p from open (1.4520) to (1.4506)
• @ +5 SL to +1 (1.4514)
• @ +10 SL to +5 (1.4509)

Price, after falling 3 more pips, go back up to 1.4517 taking out the +5 Stop.
Am I figuring this accurately according to my understanding of your trading scenario?

To prevent a profitable trade from becoming a loss.

Did you try to move to BE when RR = 1:1 for example?

No.
The goal is to make pips and not lose pips.
Look at the GBPUSD trade today.

Thanks for the questions.

Failing to move to BE+1 on this trade would have you in the red.

The white dashed lines are every 5 pips.
I enter when the bid drops to the highest open.
First stop at BE+1.
When at +10 pips, you have options.
Exit part of position to bank pips or move stop for entire position to BE+5.

Thanks for the question.

So you have a lot of BE trades then? Do you use 5 pip BE for all pairs? And are there any recomendations which pairs to trade and not to trade?

Thanks for your answers.

A few BE+1 trades happen.
Better than a loss.
No reason to be upset when stopped out for BE+1.

Do you use 5 pip BE for all pairs?

After trade is +5 pips, stop is moved to BE+1.
After trade is +10, stop is moved to BE+5 or trailing stop, or exit part of position.

And are there any recomendations which pairs to trade and not to trade?

Avoid pairs when spread is over 3 pips.

Thanks for the questions, Dezil.

Did not trade USDJPY.
Showing chart so those who like trading this pair can see this system can work for them.

No.
Not at all.
When the pair's spread is over 3, do not trade it.
At times, EURUSD and GBPUSD have spreads over 3.

There are several other lines on the chart which might have potential as well. I noticed you have many of the 'Usual' suspects marked.
• Daily Open
• Previous day Hi/Low
I'll be observing those as well.

Daily open is a cross over trade.
Previous day high/low are there to indicate a breakout.

Thanks for your observations.

By "Crossover Trade", do you mean, more likely to Crossover, bounce back to DO line, and then continue in direction of Cross?

No.
Price moves to a line and then crosses over it.
Hence, crossover trade.
Trading away from the line after the last cross over.

Price dropping from daily high back to open, short at open.
That would be a crossover trade.

Price rallying from daily low back to open, buy at open.
That would be a crossover trade.

Are my answers clear, diamonddbw?
