Things to remember for today: Bank Holiday in Japan. Red news for USD and CAD (that means you, Mr-T) right around the US Open. There's a BoC announcement at the end of the day (UK time) as well as an added sauce. Secondary level (for me and what I intend to be looking at today, anyway) is red on the GBP in an hour and then on the EUR in the evening when idiot-brain Draghi will ramble on about something or another. Have fun, folks!
Moving house tomorrow. So I will be pre-occupied for a week or so but will certainly read all you guys write.

Yeah, good stuff. I've been looking as well - but kind of half-heartedly. Glad someone got their finger out and actually did it, lol.

Remember - first things packed and in the car - kettle, t-bags/coffee, milk, sugar, mugs (optional digestive biscuits / kit-kats) - sorted!

Are you just playing with this, Claudia? Or is it really worth the bother? Talk of EAs sends shivers down my spine and hackles up.

Live account + 26% for the week. Sure it's not on my main account but no losses in over 2 weeks.

I've spent hours and hours and hours figuring this thing out.

Give it a go on demo you got sb, mrc and myself here.

Away from the insanity that is the idea of me considering an EA - I wanted to avoid USD and CAD today in The Dead Zone, so went out to the right-field for today's selection. The chart will show you why...

As you said earlier Draghi speaks later and always says something silly. Be good to know if Mrs D short/long.

NFP tomorrow of course.

Added another impulsive trade today...

  1. AUDUSD DZ +5.1 pips
    I woke up right before NY open and saw AU. Opened a sell at DZ low. It was a bit risky because it was 30 minutes before red news and there was a big round number, but I just took it. I regretted a bit when price reversed a little, but it went right back down.

AUDUSD M5. Blue zone is DZ.

Yep makes sense. I'm going back to max 8 pairs as I'm running it overnight have a t/p set - but we back to where to put a s/l. Has to be % of account.
We getting there.

Hi Claudia. Nice return on your live account . Are you still excluding the NZD pairs? Also, out of interest, why did you decide on the opening time being 01:00GMT? Have you found this time to be the most consistent? You might have already answered this elsewhere....I had a quick look but could not see (if you have then just tell me to look harder! ).

Cheers, Pent.

No I got all pairs going at the moment.
It's actually set at 00:00 for no reason but it is default - just the summertime adds the hour.

@Pent - to me the ea works but I took time out to understand it. As usual on FF everyone wants to change/improve it where as the basic concept works - great work from xmess of course . But I suggest use the original idea we just got to work a s/l out. Nearly there.

{quote} I got a simple question : to make 7% to 10% within an hour ... what is your maximum theoretical risk ? if trade is going against you what is your pain tolerance in % before to give up ? Edit : my view on trading is : its not how much you win that is important but how much you loose when you fail
Risk 10 to make 10? As long as the stats say I'm winning most of the time then all good I suppose
Re EU, I reckon once you have that one licked you can call yourself a proper trader......... It's breaking monthly high today so maybe we'd be better off long on the pullbacks?
You post good thought provoking stuff, you should post more often

Looks ok to me. Price Action definitely made it look a good bet to drop out of the zone, assuming no large outside influence. Nicely done.

Getting notification through from a couple of brokers on this and I'm assuming all will follow along. From 21:00 UK tonight, brokers will be ''adjusting'' their spreads, etc in prep for the 2nd round of the French Elections over the weekend.

I thought you guys should bear that in mind re the EA especially.
