The open indi we have works fine if the right times are entered. Problem is brokers have different clocks and there are different time zones. Putting the indi to GMT is the best answer but now we have to adjust to indi to GMT times. So at the start of each session I am setting my market times and hopefully by the end of the day. I will be fine. |

I've been taking 2 trades per pair on a 10k demo: A: 1% risk entered at the open of new session with a SL at the +20 and TP at the -20 in the direction of the AC B: 1% risk as follows: Short Setup 1. Wait for retrace to +10 and enter SHORT via sell limit with a SL at +20 (10 pips risk) 2. Set the TP to -10 or -20 (20-30 pips reward) Long Setup 1. Wait for retrace to -10 and enter LONG via buy limit with a SL at -20 (10 pips risk) 2. Set the TP to +10 or +20 (20-30 pips reward) This session looks like it will end with mixed results. From now on I will focus on the B setup only and I will also be checking the H1 previous bar to session open as well as the M15 bar and only enter the buy/sell limits if they are both in the same direction Cheers, Jem |

well you say that, but i manualy tested this with forex tester whuch does include the spread and i could close trades after 2 hours. i tested london, new york and tokyo opens only on GBP/JPY. Forex Tester is soley for manual testing. in fact it is pretty good as far as these things. Yes, it can't avoid the news, and it doesn't have that feel of live trading etc but it generally gives an objective sense, albeit a bit blunt of how sturdy a system is. I dont want this to be about testers but I personally like FT, as it has saved me a lot of time in the past. However forward testing scalping systems like this are quick to test on live/demo and do offer the best results. I look forward to seeing other people's results. |

Jem, Trading JPY pairs only during asian session seems to be the best answer to me. All JPY pairs were bang on target. Correct me if I am wrong. Regards Sudhindra |
