10.3 SCALPER/RANGE TRADE SYSTEM

[Jedster]

Not used to seeing such big moves during the JPY session but CHF collapse and some strengthening of JPY. USD/CHF up USD/JPY down.

Did you see the cause of this JPY move...

USD/JPY dropped 90 pips overnight to 88.63 at 0302 GMT following a headline that was translated incorrectly by a major newswire.

The first headline that was ran cited Japan's Economy Minister Amari saying that JPY 'has corrected to level in line with fundamentals', which implied (and the market perceived as) that JPY has already weakened enough. This led to a 90 pip sell-off over the course of an hour.

However USD/JPY did recover slightly once the correction was run stating that 'JPY is correcting in line with fundamentals'.

Scary that such a subtle change in wording can cause such a dramatic change in the market...

Jedster,

If you would choose to put Smooth MA 5 Low and another Smooth MA 5 High into you chart, it would keep you out of trades like that: if Price stays in between those lines, do not trade!

Can I ask how you played Friday for the EU? I see potentially 3 entries that depend on the SL that was being used.

Entry 1 was the 7am GMT candle and would have stopped out within an hour if the SL was less than 15. Entry 2 would have stopped out within a couple of hours if the stop was less than 20. The 3rd entry took off.

I'm wondering who traded EU on Friday and how they got on and I'm guessing it was completely dependent on the stop loss being used?

Thanks
J

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look.

Just wondering, where do you guys get the news from? Looking at daily fx seems to be true

I get the news/headlines from Ransquawk. It updates pretty much as events happen.

I have something wrong in my setup here. The two bars at the lower right of the screen are green on all pairs.

I am using the #10.3 1x10 w.1.09 template.

Any ideas?

I hate asking these "dumb" questions.

EDIT: Just figured it out. I had to load DWMPivots onto a chart, then save the template again.. Then I used a script I have that changes all the templates.

Hi Nanningbob,

Yes I agree pictures do help explain the how and why of a system. So heres a picture of your NZD/JPY trade on the 14th Jan.

First signal of a possible change the 15M MTF crossing above it's MA. White dashed vetical line.

Conformation signal, H4 MTF crossing above it's MA. Magenta dashed vertical line. Buy on the open of the following candle.

H1 did not show agreement this time but when it does and all three are agreement it's usually a strong signal.

Closed the trade on the first candle after the drop below the MA's of the H1 and H4 MTF's. Blue dashed vertical line, for gain of 40 pips.

Hi Bob

I've placed the 10XEA on a chart and it triggered 17 trades within a few seconds. It also closed it just after opening it. Could it be that at that point, MPTM 10.3 -18+100 and Jump EA was NOT placed yet?
