No i have that. I guess i was assuming (maybe wrongly) that some people trade limit entries somehow on the trades that havent retraced for good setups back over the DO. Thanks for answering though. I guess the question is do the successful people trading this mostly only take the trades that have not crossed the DO before EURO/London.

Phil,

Just curious, what would your exit strategy be if price does another U-turn and the hedge goes against you?

Cheers,
Steve

I probably will do nickel trades on all of them with the MPTM and jump EA on the ones that are still valid trades then and see what happens.
The best trades I see for now are eur/aud, eur/cad, eur/nzd, usd/cad buysgbp/cad, gbp/chf, gbp/jpy, gbp/usd, nzd/chf, as sells

Let you know how they went later.

Bob, do you see any relationship between the projected strength of a move and the probability of the direction being correct?

For example, are these;

Red Strong Sell gbp/chf, nzd/chf

more likely to be sell days than these;

Orange Range Sell aud/chf, aud/nzd, gbp/aud, gbp/cad, gbp/nzd, gbp/uzd, usd/chf

Of course there are no guarantees; I'm thinking more in terms of probabilities.

My point is that I can't do much more than set up my chart for every 10.3 Fib Level 3 CT trade possibility - about 50 pending trades just for the CT side of things which is brain numbing and mostly wasteful given only one or two a day might get hit at best.

Only creating them for one side of 25 pairs rather than a CT buy and a CT sell cuts the list down to 25.

Only creating one pending CT trade for each of the 7-8 Strong Sell and Strong Buy seems to be a more targeted approach than using a shotgun of one size fits all. That would cut pending CT trades down to 7-8 a day; a vast improvement of circa 50 a day

None of my pending CT orders can get filled until your side of the 10.3 has pushed out to a Level 3 Fib or similar. And your side of the 10.3 has to trade first, before I can CT it back again.

Phil
The RED trades are DP and DO are below the weekly and monthly pivot which shows trend and stronger moves. So their should be a better chance of bigger and stronger moves.

Orange means DP and DO are between the monthly and weekly pivots so price is ranging and moves should be smaller and not as strong. Experience may teach us what is better but that is what I see when looking at backtests.

My understanding of CT trades is you are waiting for strong price movements then follow them back. Those will most likely show up on with the Maroon color on sells and dark green on buys. Those colors show those trades are already in progress so you could look for those two colors and set your pendings that way.

I have not explained this yet but the indicator when strong sell or strong buy are already in progress. The boxes will turn maroon for sells and dark green for buys. Those would be the ones you would want to set up your CT trades. I would think CT trades in range trading might work also but that will take experience in the system which we do not have yet. I am still working on the trend and break out trades. I love your ideas on CT trades but you may spot them in the grey boxes too.

To continue the discussion like today you see a lot of euro in the range buy and strong buy area. Which probably means the EURO across the board has strong bull movement. The same for the CHF showing sell bias across the board. So that is where I would look for my strong moves.

This maybe a better way of determining strength of a currency. Experience will show us.
