{quote} Thanks Lem ur always a help!! Lend me ur opinion on this too lem. After billy told me to look into trading small and compounding given my bankroll I ran a a manual test over the last 50 trading days and came up with this. (Done this test on 7:45 cable) 0.5% per pip Hi/low plus/minus a full one pip for entry, helps avoid those God awful trip-ins by 0.2 pips only to be dragged to the other end of the candle. (Over this test this rule hasn't seemed to have damaged any result you can use stops but it adds more problems

Thank you bill. I'm trying! I hear you fully countering is a way better solution but i don't think my bankroll could sustain it right now. Lots of situations where you'll need margin for 2-3 counters at a time and even with a broker with better leverage than what I'm working with now would still be a bit scary lol. And bare in mind I done this test completely bare bones. Didn't account for taking the other side if the first break fails on the same day or retracaces and lots of the other mischeviois tricks you guys employ. It was literally a test of, first break happened it either did what was required to be counted a win or it didnt. I'm sure if you or Lem tried to follow the test rules youd take that 75% return to something alot higher.
Whereas I'm yet to develop that intuition for the methods so I wanted something a monkey could almost follow lol

no problem bud,
you speak of opposite end?
if a short fails and moves up past the 04-00 4 hour bar high it will normally make the Daily Range High or vice versa, thats a tip shhhhhh. You may end up with a few points or many pending on how far it has travelled

Okay-Doakay...I'm done for the day - well my head is, which is the same thing - so here's that run-down of The Witching Hour for BoJack I promised.

It's not perfect as I didn't trade all of these and so I can't swear I'd have taken or not taken any specific trades but I've chosen some set-ups that give a pretty good idea of what's what.

OIL first.
Trade 'A' is straight forward enough (would actually have triggered on the previous candle) - short out of the upper zone. When I am surfing a zone, after the first trade, I will not necessarily go straight back in but instead have a look around first. As a result, I wanted to see what that resistance /pp would do and sure enough price couldn't push past, so that would have got us a second trade ('B') up and through.

Trade 'C' - well this is debatable whether you'd be quick enough to get in on this move back down. My gut says probably not but there it sits anyway.

Trade 'D' - took a while to get going but price-action would probably have stopped me bailing on it and the reward would have come.

Anything after this is heading into the next ''day'' and so I probably wouldn't have been on anything now. You can see there was an area of untested resistance above and that actually gave a nice 1-2-3.

USDCAD
Trade 'A' again straightforward as a flight North out of Southern Airspace.
Trade 'B' is the one we've been waiting on though, as we get a bounce down out of the resistance made up of the zone and pivots.
Now, there is a good move back up through and yes, 'C' is a valid trade but tbh, I would be more likely to be looking at taking shorts only, as price tries and fails to break the zone above.

You can also see the trades 'C' and 'D' could come on the same candle and when I get these kind of double moves, I look to get out with what I can and leave it to its games.

Bill, the software you used to use for compounding was this pre mt4? How complicated are order oriented scripts or did you have someone put it together for you?

{quote} Thanks Lem! U must be tired mate cause you must of saw DAX in my post as opposed to cable LOOL! I wouldn't touch that dax for nobody thats billy's mistress lol. I ran this test on cable. And yeah your concern is definitely shared! Cable can be a quick mover too. I'm thinking either attempt to code up something that can help with the compounding or manually setup the compounding orders with tp and sl already set but very far away from price and whichever direction I get tripped in on the bar I'll drag the corresponding compound order to where...
''U must be tired mate cause you must of saw DAX in my post as opposed to cable LOOL.''

Good grief! Lol...All I saw was the time of the bar you were using and my addled brain made the connection to the DAX 07:30 and 07:45 doo-dahs.

i have stats going back years and years,
To be honest you dont have to go back too long, Look at Cable for instance, since brexit last June it has acted differently with a big bias to drop..and more volatile which helps in trading especially my 07-45 break.

Will have to see if I can build or get someone to help in building a script that will set up an automatic order after an first position is open.
Anyone know a guy lol?

THANK YOU FOR THIS!

DEADZONE or WITCHING HOUR better suited for Airspace trades?

Also annotations for counter if these go sour?
