100 Weekly Pips Strategy

Hi everybody I have decided to start my own trading strategy based on my own trading knowledge. I will be posting the trades that I take on this thread every day between 7:30 and 8:00 am New York time. My strategy is simple: I take either buy or sell positions on mostly major currency pairs and hold them until halfway through the New York session if they dont hit the stoploss or take profit. The stop loss is 50 pips and the take profit is 100 pips. (except for EUR/GBP, SL is 50 pips and TP is 50 pips. I will count the pips made and lost for this pair as double) I don’t really have a mechanical strategy to post. My positions are based on how I think the news is going to impact that currency pair for that day. I have been trading for a while like this and I have been doing good so I decided to share them on this thread. If there are any questions I will be happy to answer them.

100 Weekly Pips Strategy:

Positions opened at around 8:00 AM New York Time.

StopLoss = 50 pips TakeProfit = 100 pips (except EUR/GBP, SL and TP is 50 pips)

If neither SL or TP position will be closed around 11:00am (give or take 15 minutes)

Number of positions opened at once = 1 to 4 positions

Interesting to see how this turns out.:slight_smile:

I used to binary paper trade stocks this way.

These are my first trades:

                         Current Price 

Sell EUR/CHF 1.6315
Buy EUR/GBP 0.7920
Buy Order USD/JPY at price 107.90

All trades are closed:

EUR/CHF 1.6312 +3 pips
EUR/GBP 0.7920 0 pips
USD/JPY 108.16 +26 pips

8/5 Total = 29 pips

Not too bad for the first day.

good start FM

Looks fun. Personally, I don’t think I’d trade it due to my personality traits, but it should be an entertaining read as they days go on.

Thanks to everyone for the positive reviews. Hopefully the next few days will go like today and I be able to finish the week with more than 100 pips which is my goal.

i’d like to see how this works out. I think 99% of us make life too hard… this is dumbfoundedly easy and i’d be surprised if it didn’t work… you’re using great R:R and all you have to be is right half the time

I tried to post this earlier but it looks like I violated some rules since I am a new member because I put my email address in the post.

Total for today = +50 pips

Total for this week = +65 pips.

I didn’t hit my goal of 100 pips this week but im not worried since it was only my first week of live trading and I only traded 4 days. Took a big hit on Wednesday with both trades hitting the SL. I was also planing to take a USD/JPY trade on Thursday and a USD/CHF trade on Friday but decided not to. If I did both trades would have made around 50 pips each. Anyway I will continue to trade next week and hope to make my goal of 100 pips and the 45 pips I missed for this week.

Once again if anyone would like to receive my trades at their email send me a message and I will add you to my mailing list. Your email address will not be shared with anyone.

Hi ForexMan93,

Thanks for sharing your approach with us.

I don’t know if you have the time available but I really would appreciate it if you would briefly comment on what news you think is going to drive the market when you are placing a trade and/or what is your favoured source(s) for news predictions.
