This system is meant to be a simple fix and forget daily breakout system. It is derived from the daily range of the previous day, and hinges on the hope that today will have a breakout of 10-15%. This is not a system that will give you a home run in one day, but will hopefully give you steady cash flow regardless of market conditions. I would try it with any pair, but to date I have only seen proven success with USD/JPY. As with any system proper equity management is key.
Guidelines
1.Calculate previous day’s range.
2.Set a Buy and a Sell order 10% above and below current close price.
3.Set a Stop Loss at 2 times your Buy or Sell order.
4.Set a Target Profit at 10% above or below your Buy or Sell order.
5.Keeping Equity Management in mind set a new order before each major session open. Close any trade that has been open for 24 hrs.
Background
This system is not 100% original it is born from the Daily Quarter System or Simple Trading with Daily Range. I have been following these two treads for the past month or so and noticed that although they do work, the reward to risk ratio was 1:2, and I was losing pips. At 1:2 ratio you need to win approx 67%+ of the time with the daily range being consistent to breakeven. The best way to increase win % was to lower the TP % from 25% to 10% of daily range. You will sacrifice daily pips, but will win more often, which in turn will increase your profits.

As you can see USD/JPY is by far the pair to use this system on. I think EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, and GBP/USD can work, but will need more tinkering with percentages and open times to make work.
