Dead Zone. I take one sunny day away and all sorts of pips come rolling in .

Some may have involved a bit of surfing, others a little counter here or there - but nothing too stressful, I don't think.

AU, GN and NU were the most straight forward, with Mr-T's UC throwing in a lovely, smooth, breakout short.

Feast your eyes...

Brent-US Crude H4 05.00 Billy-Bar Diff Trade. Had to counter after a small head-fake coming out of the gate caught me off-guard (aka, sleeping) but it's all good. Expecting more movement one way or another once the US gets into the game. {image}

Well, the movement sure happened, lol.

Monday trades, i traded Cable off the 07-45 bar. the High broke then retraced down to trigger the low.
I had a buffer on the High so it didn't trigger. i lost a handful of points on the low trade but when high was passed again i got it all back after a few hours.
I did not trade Dax but it opened with a nice +10. i didn't look at it after that.

Sounds good, Billy. That DAX was bouncing along the zones again. Def looks like a way to surf that market.

No need to apologize for late replies Lem! Just the fact that you are willing to share your knowledge, I am very thankful for.
I really appreciate the detailed explanation of how you approach FB and DZ. Super helpful!

I'm not usually a fan of increasing lot size but the FB is one area where you can do so with a reasonable expectation of payback. In the past, I have run a triple-dip and at the very most you will need four. Now, before anyone throws up their hands, shouts ''martingale'' and runs for the hills, don't do that!!! I ran this when I was in the stress-testing...
Lem

Thanks a lot for your detail explanation , it really confirm that i am on the right path ....
having fun with E/J breakout and 04:00 G/U almost everyday

No time yet to deal with WZ , but will look into it

Have a wonderful day

trying to make everyday the best risk/reward decisions possible

morning all, t 07-53 hers..
Same as yesterday (which actually was a fail day with cable) i will trade off the cable 07-45 bar.
right now we have an 8 range and it looks like a short. but still 6 minutes to go it could well change.

@StudyFX and slowbrain - thanks so much for your kind words - appreciated. Cheers.

Over at The Frankenbreak, a not-exactly-speedy process has finally closed out my +5 variant on a long trade. I'm wondering how the coming long weekend for Easter is beginning to impact on the markets, as it surely must. That's why I'm using the +5 variant at the moment, as I don't want to be sitting babysitting the larger-target versions if things move as slowly as they have been.

Things were moving so err, fast (not), over there, I even had time to go scalp a quick +10 from Billy's old flame EJ (not recommended practice, mind you - do as I say, not as I do, right? ).

Anyway. Yes, it took its time but in the end bagged, so stop moaning, Lem...

i am making a quiche for my Lady then off out, She can have it when she gets back from Uni, early finish i believe.
I am looking at Cable 04-00 bar , hopefully the news may let it continue down for the Daily Range Low. or if it breaks the 04-00 High which in theory it should we can look for the High...It is all lines.

Cable - "Wick Zone" -dipped south and got three points before stopping me out.
Then North into body of trigger bar (arrowed) for ten.

CAD hourly is fairly flat -any reason for that mes amis ?

Pretty much everything on the Dead Zone radar is also flat or flat-ish.
