No problem dude. I'ld be happy to help. Send me an email to xmess7@yahoo.com and your number and I'll give you a call. I have 8x8 so it's no sweat to call. Or add me on the Yahoo Messenger IM.

I'll send you a little document I got together. I still use it as reference to remind me of the simplicity of the approach.

The times that I trade.
The best times is when the market is vol ital. Around news events and stuff like that is perfect. What I look at is the average H1 range for the last 200 bars. If that H1 average range is greater than 30 pips and the currency is cheap (spread is low, MBT and FXCM show actual spreads) then I got for it.

Right now I seem to have better luck around 6AM Pacific time.
Other times that I have seen to be good are 9AM - 1PM
3AM -6AM.
It really depends on volatility. Oh I also just concentrate on the GBPJPY. It is usually the pair that moves the most. I think one day it moved like 1200 pips. That is exactly what we need for this approach to work .

See ya later,
Jess

Do you mind me asking what Time Zone, When do you Trade, and What broaker do you use ?

I am in Mountain Time, Usually trade late...like 11pm - 1/2 am (but will have more open time starting next week), and use IBFX.

I just started looking into Horizontal Line trades w/ SweetSpots. And would love some live pointers...aka, a crash course

You seem to have this system down, any chance you would give some live pointers over skype or any other IM system ?
