Didn't think the EURUSD IB at 18:30 (GMT) was going to go anywhere. After a fairly strong start and then reverse, it's finally moving 4 hours later... Having looked at the two bars preceding this, perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised as it's ...

I would suggest that if an IB forms 30 minutes before the session opens, then you may want to wait until 30 minutes after the session has begun before placing a trade. Why? Well, as far as I understand it, when a session opens there could be a lot ...

My impression is that the US afternoon sessions are fairly slow with low volumes. It certainly is today.

IB on GBPUSD. It's a 100 pip SL, so too large for me to do correctly.

I don't think I've seen a suggestion for best hours, only a recommendation to "..Stay out of IB's as the sessions open and close ." Oh, and beware of any major news. I nearly got caught out by the US interest rate change yesterday.

IB on USDCAD

Well, the AUSUSD is still going, but I hit a close TS for zero (I know it's not the system that Jim has detailed, but it was my first live IB trade and don't I feel foolish now, it's close to +100 pips. )

OK, so you cancelled not because it was going Short to the SMA, but because the trend of the moment is Long, correct? (sorry to keep banging on at this one, I'm just trying to make sure I understand the reasoning behind some of the decisions I read ...

Hmm, this is my view - I think your's differs?

Cancelled because it's shorting to the 89 SMA?

Good call!

Key indicators of "The System". Read the first post ;-)

You can get it here -> url I've noticed a few issues with the indicator, namely it lags the chart by one bar too many. Since I've got the code I'm in the process of changing it to fix the bar lag and add an option to be more 'lenient'. Watch this ...

Compressed Guppy — Missed out on a trade today, at the purple line. All the indicators were fine, but I thought that the GMMA was not compressed enough in the first pic below. Obviously, given the short trend, it was fine (pic 2). So, when ...
