{quote} 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. No. Read the above again. You can enter at the highest/lowest price. You do not have to wait for price to cross it a second time. You do not have to wait for a candle to close.
Hi TooSlow.

First thanks a lot for your system and for your involvement.

I'd like to ask you :
1) "... you can enter at the ..."
HOW ? with a pending order ? For instance : I see a Highest open, the price goes up, I post a Sell stop at THE open and I wait for price to cross down ? Correct ?

2) Could you please publish / show a trade on a chart : Enter and Exit ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

What makes people want to change things especially when things work just fine as is?
I did a static 4 day backtest on your system with historical 1 minute ticks (in an excel sheet).
Did this on 20 pairs and lost 2600 in 4 days. Some days are ok but more often I have days as shown in attachment.
When the orange "Action" line is at 6 we do nothing, when it is at 5 the price crossed over the HH and at 4 the price crosses under the HH and we enter a SHORT until it returns to 6 (when we hit the stoploss or BE1,BE5 or Trailing stop).
The program hit 5 losers and 1 winner that day for a total of -560.
Best.

Yes.
It can be accomplished as you say.
You can also wait and sell when price is at the highest open.

2) Could you please publish / show a trade on a chart : Enter and Exit ?

No.
I do not do that.
I have my reasons.

I knew this day would come.
Backtests mean nothing to me.
There a many variables that most backtests fail to take into account.

How many backtests show winning systems but when traded cause accounts to be wiped out?
Since your backtest showed this is a loser, should I give back all the money and shut down this thread?

Waiting


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.

Regarding risk management. Should stops be set tight between -20 and -30 pips or at the top of the previous candle ? what is efficient? Any thoughts from anyone?

For one, trading is not done 24/7.
My trading sessions may last 2, 3 or 4 hours depending on many factors.
Pairs tested have to be tested in proper session.
