Sorry, CTGuy, but you are mistaken. You are looking at a two hour and 15 minute period. In the charts you posted, there are 9 bars in play at 15 minutes each. The 9th bar ends at 9:15 ET. That's a total of 2:15. Scott

Hi, Ian. No problem. I was just saying that personally I think it's preferable to forward test in demo or live (with small amounts) than to do backtesting on old data. But to each his own... Take care, Scott

I read somewhere that there are a lot of pilots in Forex trading, presumably because in their profession they have to be good at following rules to the letter. I found that interesting. Makes sense, I guess. Scott

Hello there. I don't put a lot of stock into backtesting. Blueace has been trading this system live for 8 months, and he's confident enough to now share it with the FF community; I think that speaks volumes. This system has such a good risk:reward ...

I don't know. Not sure how others are getting their numbers in Oanda, but I just bring up the daily chart and then just hover my cursor over each day's bar. The open, high, low, and close numbers appear in the lower left corner of the chart. I don't ...

Hi there. Just thought you might want to know my Oanda numbers match yours perfectly. Scott

Carol, typically on breakout type systems like this one, you would only have a maximum of one trade in each direction. Because once the price has broken that point and made profit once and then come all the way back, there is a lesser chance it will ...

Ok, Tim, I went back and looked at the OP's and CTGuy's charts, and I think I see what's going on here. Their vertical lines are drawn through the middle of the 7AM and 9AM candles. That is indeed NINE candles because it is really encompassing the ...

Exactly what I was trying to suggest. Ignore MM at your own peril. Scott

I have no idea what you're doing. The bars are only used to determine the high/lows of the 2-hour period in question. It matters little what TF is used. I think that was Ronald's point. Scott

That is what I am thinking. I am trying to figure out where the 7 to 9 came from in the first place. Color me confused. Scott

Ok, no problem. I may have confused it with another strategy on the forum. Thanks for the clarification. All in all, a super week for the system. Nice job. Scott

Sorry if I am being a bonehead here. Just want to make sure I've got this straight. As I understand the system, we place a buy or sell stop a few pips higher or lower than the high or low of the 8 bars that comprise the period between 7 AM and 9 AM ...

Ok, good to know. Thanks. Scott

Because the original poster said to cancel the other order once one got hit. url So the original poster was wrong? Scott

7am-9am Big Dog USD Breakout Strategy

CTGUY, thanks for the insight. A few questions: 1) What other pairs, if any, are you trading? And have you incurred losses like the rest of us today? 2) What are you using for a stoploss? Surely it can't be the opposite high or low. 3) Are you ...

Blueace, I am confused. You're in a "third trade" with EJ? I thought there were only two possible trades last night (GU and EJ) and that both were losses? Did you reenter EJ in the other direction or something? Once one of my positions is triggered, ...
