Hi,
Search for “Joy of CandleStick Trading - part 2” in Newbie Island. On page 51 you find a detailed explanation by the author of the thread tymen about how to use photo bucket for posting bigger charts. It is very simple. Not sure about the timings in europe. I am not sure on when i will start trading.
I’ve read through this whole thread… and after many hours, it has started to gel together for me. There’s the purists and the innovators… for me at the moment I’m sticking quite close to the original rules.
Anyone trading this morning would have seen a classic 7am Frankfurt open down only to rebound at London open straight back up… rubber band effect as someone above mentioned.
It looks however that the bears may win, so I would be betting on that. Had I opened on the 7am candle, it looks like it would have been 20p+.
(Pay no attention to the time… the last green candle on the chart is the 8am London open).
This london breakout seem to be interesting, but there was much confusion about how to draw trendlines. There is many ways to trade London open(breakout) is this strategy still alive? Anyone who is still trading it?
You must be rich also, because I saw you on many threads and with very valuable posts!
But its fact, that we have many systems to trade London breakout, this was the one I was interested in, but nobody is posting this method.
And I think muthusai2000 is here because his last post is from 08-29-2010.:rolleyes:
I’m not rich but I’m headed in the right direction. I always liked this breakout idea but never was able to make myself be awake at the right time of day for it. I live in the wrong time zone.
I must be slow. It took me a long time to realize it but I just realized, This strategy and also the strategy in the advanced trend lines thread are based on DeMark trend lines.
Work out when Frankfurt opens 0800 Europe time.
Also, work out when London opens 0800 London time.
That’s where you’re looking to trade it if the momentum is correct.
I don’t know for sure about this one, but London breakouts in general are still about, I trade it…
I think the stop is variable to keep it technically safe, adjust your position size accordingly.
The timezones for some reason seem to freak people out, if your having problems have a look here and underneath the trading hours chart, pulldown menu, select your timezone:
