I have been taking more 10.2 trades lately as the market has gotten more volatile. Back to my 4H charts where I make most of my money. Keep 10.3 for ranging markets.

I eyeballed the charts twice every day, using the session-converted DP-DO charts set to draw the DP-DO 1 hour before opening the EU and the US sessions.
Last week I found that EXACTLY at the newly drawn daily opening, the price takes of and 80% of the case away from the daily pivot.
Is it technically possible to write an EA that;
- calculates the adjusted DP-DO the way Baluda did in his Indi using the GMT+/- xx hrs,
- 'sees' that the DO is above/ below DP,
- opens a buy/ sell at the start of the new H1 candle that functions as the adjusted first D1 candle,
- does this for multiple sessions [or load as many EA's as sessions one wants to trade]
In your programming for TP spots look at weekly S/R lines and Mid pivots. I have been studying them this week and think they are a better read than the dailies but have not come to a conclusion yet. That weekly pivot is a nice bounce or breakthrough point.
Indeed.
Am looking into expanding the WP breakthrough idea;
- SL at the former week WP
- Change SL every week to the former week's WP
- Let the crossing of the former week WP close the trade
- Enter again on the crossing
In theory there can be 2 trades open on a pair if the trend changes;
- The 'old' trade going towards it's stop out at the former weeks WP and cashing the profit
- The 'new' trade going into profit
Closing the current week trading for zero loss/ profit due to the hedge.
This way a strong and prolonged trend can be ridden to the 2nd highest/ lowest week WP.
Now I need to think about how to add to the winning trades, the DP isn't touched at all sometimes.
