Very interesting comments.

I was closed EURUSD (40 pips) , not following rules exactly. Now it's a day to day training and now shut off my pc and i like a clean state at this level (beginner)

Another update. there is another Cable IB and I'm taking it. I have setup a 1:1 close half order already in place. If you dont have specific trade management software, which I do, [you gotta spend money to get the good stuff made for you] then you can simply take two 0.5% orders. Set one without a Target point and another with 1:1 Target point. this way if you're not around your trade will always be closed half automatically. IMHO> If you are wonder why I exited the short quickly, the answer is that I believe that GU is an up trend on D1 and hence...
update on the USD/JPY

I'd like to comment. If you CANT let them run. Don't trade this strategy. You have to drill this Understanding deep inside your mental framework. You have to agree to every cell level that Profits are Made with Letting Those DIBS Free Trades Run as long as Physically and Mentally and technically possible. IMHO. That EU Trade required 12Pips SLand its up over 65pips as I write. Now this is what we want. But we want those 1:10 and 1:20 winners.

You've marked a 9am uK and 8am GMT Bar. The 6 or 7 GMT Bar, is two bars to the left.
(I use 7am UK , Frankfurt Open as my Open Price Level).

cheers

"Implying so as long as your stop loss is not triggered, you just wait until...? "


PC did give a suggestion in one of his post's. Ultimately though you will need to determine your exits based on you own research. I would not recommend you take another trade until have researched a valid statistical method for exiting your trades. If you do.....then it is called GAMBLING since you would be trading without calculated risk.

It is worth the work.

The GU long ADD on DIBS just turned into a Free Trade right now. Such is the glory of Holding on to it.

below picture of entry from post above. Notice that in that picture many of us might have thought, "this looks like a very late entry and I'd rather wait for pullback" but I have managed to get rid of "off the trading logic" finally. but it does creep up from time to time.

Dustbin -I'm looking for an indicator that draws the midnight to midnight verticals and the horizontal lines that start from Peter Crowns 6am UK time period. I have looked for a download to highlight these but found none, Is there a file I can down load please?

The Cable Trade taken at the high of IB at 8GMT 1.4549 and add on at 1.4611 at 14.00 GMT is now both up +131 + 70 i.e. roughly 200 pips running profit. There was a -1R Loss in between but overall the position is up by 131/26 = 5% and 70/27 = 2.5% i.e. total 7.5% -1% = 6.5% running profit. Not bad for not doing anything most of the day? An the daily trend is in full swing and THIS PAIR IS HOT. There is the element of scale involved imho. A pair can be Hot in a longer term and cool on shorter term, it can be hot on a shorter term, that is that particular session or day and yet cold on the longer term, that is that week/month. Something I learnt through the years of bleeding. But CABLE is HOT overall these days. Think Brexit.

ps. i had a NEXT moment on GJ this am, otherwise that would be a good long too. oh well NEXT...

This is the one I use. But it is a good idea to do these by hand, draw in a couple of weekly highs/lows as well.

Watchout for this guys comments, plus I agree its good to do it manually it gives you a perspective and keeps that in your mind. However, I have downloaded the first DIBS version indicator and later got me one coded by a coder that cost me less than $100. Really worth it. hehe

cheers

ps: thanks California

pss: anyone still inthe EU from the 12th of May. Really I should have kept that one. YD i took the short as well but it was NEXT...

Would this qualify as an Inside bar (arrowed) which is within a larger (Parent?) Bar ?
Thank you.
