I mean doubling a potential second or third counter / recovery trade. I think I was reading that from the notes BO provided a few days earlier. What I tried to say is, that direction seems to play no big role here for your statistical winning edge. ...

I don’t actually understand why any chart here is important at all, as far as I understand it’s about setting two orders at distance, wait which order gets executed, if tp hit done. Wait for the net day to do the same. If retrace wait until second ...

Is that how "08:00 Billy M15 Bar" is traded? image So SELL order would have been executed at low of 08:00 bar hitting +5 At what point/time/criteria any counter trade would be placed if the trade retraces back before hitting TP, and then what?

Yes. Good Point. Did not check for any news. Not sure if allowed to name Brokers here, don't want to advertise. You can send me PM. Commission = $4,52 / Lot Spread = 0.0 - 1 This Spread was 0,1 i think on this particular trade.

I tried. But could not manage to open two trades BUY/SELL at same time with a fixed distance in points including TP/SL. The moment i set the orders they are already executed... I am using a 5 digit broker. 1 Pip can fluctuate in no time, so i guess ...

Did you mean placing the buy + sell simultaneously with a 5 Pips distance? If doing this manually, what if i can't double the size of the second order anymore because price jumped there just in that second? Also what if price jumped 5 pips up and ...

One more question. If that first trade of the day turns out to be a loss I guess I should avoid any further trade for the day, take that -10 Pips at doubled position size and wait for the next days 8:15 bar?

Yes it makes sense. I tried trading the London breakout earlier but without having some clear instructions also following some lagging indicators. I either ended up with a a lot of false breakouts instantly hitting my SL, 5-10 Pips or a RR 1:2 TP ...

Thanks a lot Claudia, appreciate your kind help. Yes, that was one of the main reasons to me to find something I can try to get a working routine by just trading one market for some time.

I am amazed about the simplicity but still feel hard to believe this will be a game changer to me, if it would be that „easy“ to become profitable I wonder why there are a 90% of people still losing money and not everyone rich as hell. Yeah, will ...

What about watching the M1 candle to close at 8:14 and then execute these two market orders at the time 8:14 candle closes at 8:14:59? Could this not be programmed in some way, if it’s that simple and only needs price opens to define the entry? So ...

I am not sure how exactly I would create these orders as I don’t know what the open price will be at 8:15 and therefor also can’t execute a order 5 pips away from it where price is still unknown to me at that time. Same for doubling on the opposite ...

Thank you. Ok. But I got it right that for the entry I would simply place a buy and sell at the high/low of the 8:00 bar aiming for a 5 Pips/5% fixed TP, if succeed, no more trade for the day, if no succeed take the loss (of what ever that would be) ...

Well, then what should a backtest help at all if you say something will mess up the signals no matter if the platform crashed or not?
