You are right. Tomorrow morning I will only take the best set ups.

Good morning. Took my first 5 pips this morning. On GBPUSD long.

I am a little wary of the tide ranges that are still in place. So I might wait an hour or two. What are you guys thinking?

Nice, but you opened a position on the bar that made a new daily high without waiting for the close of that bar. Isn't that bending the rules?

No.
That would be bending the 123 rules.

HIGHEST OPEN / LOWEST OPEN TRADE

Place a line at the highest H1 open and lowest H1 open for the current day.

Sell short at the highest H1 open after price goes up through it and comes back down.

Buy at the lowest H1 open after price goes down through it and comes back up.



The "rules" do not say to wait for close of H1 bar.

HIGHEST OPEN / LOWEST OPEN TRADE

Place a line at the highest H1 open and lowest H1 open for the current day.

Sell short at the highest H1 open after price goes up through it and comes back down.

Buy at the lowest H1 open after price goes down through it and comes back up.


Stop loss is the current daily high or current daily low.
Adjust your position size accordingly.

Take profit by moving stop.
When trade is +5 or more, move stop to BE+1.
When trade is +10 or more, move to to BE+5, or switch to trailing stop.
Optional exit is to exit part of trade position with a profit to bank it, move stop to BE+1 and watch the market.


WARNING

When price breaks through yesterday's high or low, that is a breakout!
Trade the reversal with caution.

Thanks, I got confused by the "rules" in post 703. With that in mind the trade examples were very hard to understand.

I apologize for any confusion.

The 123 rules are a subset of these rules.
Depending on how price is moving at the time, I my employ one or the other method.
In this case, price was near the highest open, so the trade rules of this thread would not apply.
The 123 rules allowed for an entry.
