actually it doesnt really matter, this system is quite profitable if you use full range as stoploss. avoid days where range is 60 and above. if you got a loss of that day you need 3 days to recover. this system is about 80% accurate.

Freddie what broker you used Alpari and what time?

thanks

 

I am using Alpari charts but I have a much more simplified view of the time to use. I use midnight to 0100 on one chart and 23:15 to 00:15 on another. It really does not matter, what we need is a small range and any time from say 23:00 until about 02:00 chart time or UK time or GMT will do.

 

When we deal with London, NY opening it is important but not for this strategy.

 

Just my opinion.

Here is the normal 15m chart with the area marked by ant_ Indie

And here the one based on the 3tier

I don't know what the result would be using the 'official' hours!!

freddie time that you mentioned is midnight GMT? it is really interesting.. thanks

 

Just checked my brokers time: both are UK+1 hour so GMT + 2 hours. As I said, I am not interested in what the actual time is only that flatish time that occurs at the 'new day' markers.

there are so many break-out strategies developed (incorporated in EAs too)

really endless...different pairs - different time spans ...it is strange to get buy that - in spite of low price

 

Quite so Musketeer, I believe that there is no way to guess which way the price will go but I do know that it will go somewhere. A breakout from a range, even current price + and - say 10 pips will give you a straddle that may catch a good move.

I have just looked at the 11pm to 2am time and seen a flat period which then either rises through the Asian session or falls.

 

...even cheaper when it is shared but I had decided to go my way before I found the .pdf.

Alpari changes the time - in summer they are GMT+2 and winter GMT+1

 

...again, I don't care, but thank you for your concern.

If I find that I need an accurate 'hour' for my range then I will change. Actually, since I will be returning from Malaysia in April then my trading time will be finished unless I can find some good internet provider. And, of course, I will not be able to stay awake long enough to trade midnight in UK

Interesting ... I suppose you could play around with different times ...

(eg. I trade EST so that would be from Midnight to 3 a.m. for me).

 

I'd be more inclined to set up a trading zone from 6 p.m. EST

(00:00 GMT) to 9 p.m. EST (3:00 GMT) and try trading that ...

I don't mind staying up all night occasionally but I'm not

interested in doing it on a regular basis.

 

For some reason I'm thinking of bunnygirl .. I think she advocates

just drawing a horizontal line at the open (6 p.m EST/ 00:00 GMT)

and trading 5 WMA/20 WMA crosses above or below the line on

a 30 minute chart.

 

Obviously, you can play around to your heart's content with any

of this stuff ... :)

 

Is it just me or does Austin Winston sound like a

totally fake name ..? <laughs ...>
