Highest Open / Lowest Open Trade

Hi. I think you have muddled a couple of points but here goes. Firstly there is no mystery to what pairs I personally use, Cable, Euro, Loonie, Yen, Swissie but to be honest I will trade whichever pair gives me an entry (so long as it's not carrying some idiotic spread of course but I don't usually go too exotic). I have begun watching a couple of pairs I haven't normally traded, since joining this thread - EurJpy, AudChf - but only because, as I said, they happened to offer an opportunity at that time. If you are learning this strategy, I would heartily suggest that you limit yourself to a couple of the majors. As for the higher time-frames, this was a reference to how Hedge-Funds trade, not HOLO. They trade this base concept in a different way. Also when I say higher, I mean higher - they will be running on Monthly, Weekly and placing trades on the Daily. They do not sully their hands with 15min charts. ALSO...they do not trade ''pairs'' the way we retail traders trade pairs. For example, we will trade EurGbp because our indicator gives us a trigger of some kind. They do nothing like that. They will decide for example that they want to go Long on the Euro (in this instance). However they don't buy EurGbp or any other Euro pair based on a chart reading as such. Instead they need to pair it up with a market or markets that are expected to drop, thereby representing value. In essence, use whatever is weak against the Euro, whatever that happens to be on the day...but ​what is weak is the key. If equities are down and oil is down, obviously it's going to be Cad. If metals are down and equities, then Aud. If financials are down, then Gbp. This is why they employ analysts on the big bucks to supply all that information to the guys in front of the screens who actually pull the trigger...and then they start to work the Order Flow Volume! You have to remember, these guys don't react to what's happening - they make what's ​going to happen, ​happen! How all this actually goes any way towards answering the questions you had, I don't really know, sorry. However as TooSlow has already commented elsewhere, HOLO requires a certain amount of ''feel'' and is not really suited to an EA imo...unless possibly you were to move up to higher time-frames and then it becomes something else, not pure HOLO.

It is essential to know that you don't know.
You do not know what will happen next in the market.
You only know what happened previously.
You do not know whether your trade will result in profit or loss.
You have to enter the trade to find out.

Can't recall where "feel" was posted.
Here? http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...91#post9030691
"Gut feel"?
"Instincts"?

Rather than feel, wait for the setup and then execute flawlessly.
See what happens.

Mmmm...can't remember where ''feel'' was discussed exactly - and now I think harder about it, it may actually have been more to do with the options regarding tp...who knows!? It was a throwaway comment, sorry. Ultimately, you are absolutely right, follow the rules - I certainly do. I don't rely on anything other than the rules. Maybe I am just subconsciously showing my bias against EAs, lol.

The Greenback's taking a kicking right across the board...

Do you know the reason?
