{quote} yes, actually you also can use that method. But using the blue line and red line as stop loss will make the stop loss unfixed on numbers means sometimes it can be small and sometimes can be big.And also, i think if you use the method, somehow it will also have the bad week like this method. maybe it better, or maybe it can be worse.I think this original method will have better week, and i just try to accept it, because no holy grail, sometimes system fails,sometimes it works. just accept the lose, and trade to wins more. The important things...

I'm still using the original method,
just testing to see if the 9 o'clock candle close is something we can try,

yes, for me i like to keep it simple. i just want to trade a pair.i try to focus for only one pair.
every pair will have the win and lost, i trade only a pair, make it profitable and i think its good enough for me.

Okay, this is the second test today. I have slightly altered the system. I'm going for the yellow lines above and below the blue red lines. I take these trades at the close of the 9 o'clock candle. Let see how it goes,
These are the four pairs,
GBP/USD EUR/GBP EUR/USD EUR/JPY.

Okay, after two hours. The EUR/ GBP is going sideways so I have close it down. It's probably got something to do with UK having a general election.
PS: this is probably ONE to watch in the early hours as the Election results come in, The pound will get stronger. If the Conservatives win and will probably get hammered If it's a Labour WIN,

EUR/JPY £19.43
GBP/USD £20.60
EUR/GBP CANCEL
£49.43 profit
I will carry on a test this for one week,
