My E/U trade is complete at +15, so a daily total of -60. Using the opposite high/low for a SL, if you were triggered on these pairs (which I was), here are what today's losses would have been (approximately): NZD/USD: -40 AUD/USD: -40 USD/CHF: -35 ...

7am-9am Big Dog USD Breakout Strategy

So what were you using on which pairs today, and was your SL hit yet? Scott

7am-9am Big Dog USD Breakout Strategy

Yeah, it looks like you're right -- I missed that. I must have been looking at his mention of a 15-pip trailing SL. In any event, setting the SL at the opposite high or low would produce a wretched R:R unless you're going for 50 pips or so, meaning ...

7am-9am Big Dog USD Breakout Strategy

Yes, I am initially trying a 15-pip TP and SL for a 1:1 risk-reward (30 pips for G/U). I have a feeling the higher you go, the less your winning % will be, but I could be wrong. What are you using? My E/U short trade just got triggered. Scott

Lousy day — Results so far today: AUD/USD: -15 NZD/USD: -15 USD/CHF: -15 GBP/USD: -30 Total: -75 I still have a EUR/USD that has not yet triggered. Scott

Unless I entered the wrong numbers, it looks like we had two losses last night. Scott

That looks better, Blueace. Thanks, Scott

I'm not getting identical numbers to Blueace, either. Here is a comparison of what I am coming up with for the daily ranges for last week ("BA" for Blueace, "SH" for Scott Henry): GBP/JPY BA: 194.8 SH: 194.88 GBP/USD BA: 172.8 SH: 172.54 EUR/USD BA: ...

Great day! — My first day with this strategy... EUR/USD +15 AUD/NSD +15 NZD/USD +15 GBP/USD +30 USD/CHF BE (I had been up around 12 in this so I moved SL to BE) Daily total: +75! Great start... I am thinking TP/SL of 10 might be safer and more ...

7am-9am Big Dog USD Breakout Strategy

Not sure about everyone else, but my GJ and EJ trades got within just a hair's breadth of hitting take profit and then headed back up. When I got to my computer this morning, both were still up around 21 pips, so I closed them both out for a nice ...

the Set and Forget Pivot Net system

Great -- I figured it was something like that. Well, I was able to get orders in for GJ and EJ. But I'll have to let the GU trade go this time unless it comes back north quite a ways, but that looks doubtful at this point. Thanks again for the ...

the Set and Forget Pivot Net system

Just a quick question, Blueace. If the prior day's movements are as you say for GU and GJ and are higher than the prior week's average, why are you then trading those pairs? I thought that took them out of consideration. Can you clarify? Also, ...

Thank you, PD. Scott

The simple stupid system

Congrats. The only thing that bugs me about this system is that I am in bed when most of the big moves begin or occur (am in the U.S.). The GU and EU started their downward trends at 3 AM here. I'd stay up, but I have to work during the day. Scott ...

Peacelover, how do you get a MA of the Mom indicator like that? I tried dragging an MA on top of that window, but it inevitably ends up on the top window. Thanks, Scott

The simple stupid system

Tradingrooms[dot]com has free rooms available for such a purpose. Someone would just need to set it up and share the info here. Scott

The simple stupid system

Krufx, that's where you set a stoploss about 10 pips under your current profit and then go to bed. Your head will hit the pillow knowing you can do no worse than 30 (very respectable) but with a chance for a lot more if the trend continues. And what ...

The simple stupid system

There were definitely some opportunities out there today, and there also appeared to be a couple false signals, though they would have been minor losses. It was my first day trying the system, and I netted -4.5 pips. I missed out on the GBP/USD and ...

The simple stupid system

Well, it doesn't actually matter what broker you use. Your buys and sells will be imbalanced if you don't add your spread to your buys. See post #23 where Bill explained this. Scott

GBPJPY 50 Pips daily

What happened is that I entered a BUY STOP at yesterday's high plus 23 pips, but in reality you have to enter the BUY STOP at yesterday's high plus 23 pips PLUS the spread. My spread at IBFX was 9. So I should have set the stop at 212.23 where it ...
