Unfortunately missed my trade this morning. Would have worked out perfectly at nearly no drawdown. image

Many thanks TS. This kind a reflects what I have already assumed but not expected it to be that much. So 75 out of 250 days with less than a 70 Pips range. Looks like a lot to me.

If we still get to your modest 70 or even 60 today Billy? Few hours left for today. It's back and forth moving in a 30 Pips range since the UK Open. The low of my range was touched a third time now but since then a +15 has not yet been reached. ...

Hey there. The answer is, no. What would have been the drawdown achieved to keep it running until today, -15 Pips ? As you know I do not like to hold positions opened until the next day. Running it for longer than half an hour already feels ...

The second break of the high happened and would have failed too for today. So -30 Pips. If maybe someone has an idea/solution to this, let me know. So far the best I can think of is just limiting my entries to a max. of 2 per day and accept getting ...

No trading for me today. I've only just had time to get online. It just broke the low of the 08:00 H1 bar within a 3 hours delay... Its moving really slow. Anyway, let's see results. Monday would have been good for the +15, Tuesday would have been ...

I am done. +15 reached. So 2 x +15 for yesterday and today. Lucky I wasn't triggered for the long today. The short would have still fixed for it so at worse my day should have been ended in having paid for the spread and commission. I closed the ...

It's moving so slow i decided to alter my plan for today and moved SL to +5 now as it already came to +10. image Edit 11:53. The +15 with taking the short at the actual low trigger would have been achieved by now. Anyways I used a buffer. image ...

Thanks Billy. Yes it can help, definitely. My worries are more about the things I can control on my own in advance, like limiting or eliminating unnecessary risk. I don't mean not to trade at all. I accept there is no 100% risk guarantee in ...

Something not even discussed. What to do if there is something like a higher impact news event announced to happen later the day and you got triggered into a position earlier the day where things are then just not moving to reach your sl or tp and ...

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

It's like watching the grass grow. What you can do? Don't watch it. I was in the kitchen and had some coffee now I came back and had a second look. Actually I shouldn't look at all and instead let my orders play out hitting TP or SL? Now in today's ...

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

It looks slow. My range is 11.5 and I placed my orders but used a buffer again of about 3 Pips. The actual high or low wasn't touched yet and we are 40 Mins into the hour already. The total daily range today is 30 so according to that it should ...

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

I got triggered long on my one. Used a buffer of 3 Pips above the actual high break. Range is 13 Pips. Applied a break-even stop at +8 too. Let's see. image Edit 09:42. +8 barrier reached and stop loss got moved to +1. If it retraced there before ...

Markets change. In my understanding if you want to trade a single currency pair for a living you need a robust trading plan that works in all kind of potential situations all the time and not just periodically while something is moving smooth as ...

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

Good luck! It looks like to me that price is likely to travel further down for today but who knows. NY is about to open in 2 hours and this is often good for even a complete reversal of any movement that happened earlier in the day. Regarding to my ...

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

My break would have been good for +13 so far. Looks like -15/+15 once again is going to work out but let's wait. Very slow movement again today. No holiday and I got a range of +40 so far. I remember when I started trading the BillyBar in 2020 we ...

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

Still 53 here Looks like a calm day. My play on the 1H 08:00 bar would have still worked out for the -15/+15 Pips. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to trade this morning or even look at the chart.

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

Great site. Thanks for sharing it. Now I am just a little confused about these 1-3 week periods you say, where the chart time would still not match with the actual session open. Is there a way to precisely tell for which days of the year that comes ...

Thank you for your kind comment. I found out that the brokers i am using are actually all updating their server time to stay synchronized. It's like you said. So it seems to me that there is no need for me to manually adjust/change and therefor the ...
