London Breakout 1

[B]d-pip[/B]

Have a look @chart in post [B]#355[/B]…EU hit my T/P @S1=1.4784 yesterday as well…by the end of the day mind you…:smiley:

Gotta be patient with EU…it’s a slow mover…:smiley:

Besides…I made a bad call with GU today…bailed out to quickly…not gonna repeat that with EU.

I took a short @ 1.4798 after the bounce off 1.4807, looks good so far!

That 1.4807 bounce knocked off my stop from 2nd position @break even.

So I got one position left…

See how it goes…

stopped out @ 1,4813 but still looking to get back in short … maybe after the news

1.4836 Breakout entry hit T/P.
1.4807 Breakout entry got stopped out @break even.

93 pips is a nice bag full of pips. :smiley:

I was watching! Wow 93 that’s great… I’m jealous…
I was late getting back in after the news but still picked up a quick 12 or so… maybe 17?
EUR still going down, must be the EU bankers!

Try to get in @the top…when one of the five candles.breaks a trendline each time…and then just wait while managing your stops…it worked for me the second day in the row now with EU.

Also I use Pivot Points with this strategy now. T/P is S… or R… depending what direction EU goes.

Yeah I noticed that’s the strat you used for [B]LOTS [/B]of pips with GU on Friday too.
I’m having a bad week… Yesterday I got spooked on a few trades that went against me and I let them ride too long… waiting for them to come back… So today I’ve been setting the T/P to 10 - 12 pips and doing more short in and out trades than the longer ones, until I get my head back on straight…

Missed this Move -

There was a second chance…@candle after missed move…entry @1.6388.

Can someone tell me how to set this breakout strategy in newyork time
thanks in advance :):slight_smile:

my time zone is newyork time can you help me with the set up for this london breakout strategy looks it will be 00-04am est :slight_smile:

Draw a vertical line on your 1-hour charts at [B]1am EDT (New York time)[/B]. Use some or all of the next 5 candles (1am-6am)
as your 'five candle period".

[B]That instruction is good for tomorrow morning (Friday, October 30) ONLY.[/B]

Beginning this weekend, we will go back onto Standard Time.

So, [B]starting Monday morning [/B](November 2) and going until March 2010, you will [B]draw your vertical lines at midnight EST (New York time)[/B], and use the next 5 candles as your five-candle period.

In each case, the vertical lines you draw correspond to 5am London time.
