Breakout Box Entry points — Good evening or morning all! Quick question, is there anything in the settings that would allow entry points 1-5 pips outside the box? I trade the breakout box manually and have had much better false breakout ...

Thanks Forest! There is a "high impact" news event happening at 23:50GMT for JPY. I plan on trying a straddle with the Big Dog box for the two hours leading up to that and give it a whirl. Going for both, EJ and UJ. We'll see what happens. GLTA! ...

All trend indicator — SLC, Actually, it is a little box that lives on whatever TF you are monitoring and shows the condition of all other TF's by MACD and EMA. AS far as accuracy goes, it seems to be as accurate as most other things out there. ...

Thanks SLC — I am a new trader also, feel free to throw those tidbits of knowledge out there. It's always a good thing to pickup a tip now and then. Question, what indicators are you using? I like the screenshot. Currently I just started with ...

Sleeping Dogs — Same here Forest. Maybe Friday the 13th had something to do with it. LOL. Had a flat day on the Big Dog, my trades are still open going into the weekend...sigh. We will see what happens after the weekend. Have a great weekend ...

Yep, that would be a bad day. I am currently still in my GBP/USD trade. So I'm not sure what kind of day it is yet for me. Not looking too promising, but as they say...Some Will, Some Won't, So What...Next. From what I have read, this strategy and ...

London Breakout. — That Time frame works for me. It is before the actual London open. But I use the theory of that Forex "brokers" as well as banks and folks like us sitting in their home can start as early as 8am local time. So that is what I ...

Good Catch Forest! — Forest, Good catch! Anything with positive pips is a win in my book. To answer your question, I am also trading the same strategy on GBP/USD at UK open. Same strategy. Box built between 04:00 - 06:00GMT. Have had no losses ...

Whoops! — Well, Big Dog had it's first loss for 43 pips. 7 wins in a row and 1 loss is still pretty good in my book. We'll see what happens tomorrow. GLTA! ScottyB

Still pondering... — Thanks Forest, I'm still debating the order/money managments on this style of order. By placing two pending orders with a TS, I feel like I have more of a safety net against false breakouts. In forward testing and looking ...

That's reassuring :-) — Mohamed, Your strategy is almost exactly like mine. My entries and SL are the same as yours. It's nice to see that others are doing well with it. I've just started trading with this strategy. 5 winning days so far. ...

Not a bad start. — Good morning all from the US! Woke up to a nice 53 pip gain on GPB from London session. Nice to see live results happen like testing results for a change. I love the basic strategy. Now let's see if we can do it again for ...

Gonna give her a try! — Greetings all! Been reading all of the posts on this thread. I must say I like what I see on this strategy. So I am going to give it a whirl. It falls in line with some others that are very similar that I have been ...
