Here is one strategy that I like to use. Just focusing on EUR/USD I get a lot of pips per day. If you use a “watch tower” you can get a ton of pips per day. So I made a video to explain it. It may move a bit slow but if you watch it all I’m sure you will gain some valuable information about trading FX.

Part Two:
If you wish to have trades that last longer than an hour or so, you could use time frames with the multiple of 5 or close to it. Like the 4h and the 1h charts. Though it would take longer for trades to line up as well.
Happy Trading!
