Got my points on GU 12-4am break this morning. EA didn't take the same break on EU due to smaller range, which was just as well because it failed.

Very true Lem. Sometimes these additional psychological blockers do more harm than good. We start to overcomplicate things. Paralysis through analysis as you say.

Yeah suppose it does not matter too much when looking for a small number of pips.

Quite brave as it was right around the daily pivot. As they say, fortune favours the brave

Indeed Billy. My EA did not take the trades because the ranges were below my minimum. Have to stick to the rules, although it does pain me that the train has left the station 2 days in a row without me lol.

Was just about to post that I was glad I only had 2 trades on Gold this afternoon. Short failed, and then the long (double lot) failed as well. I'm out until tomorrow now. Hope you somewhat recover from this mate.

Had the EA set up to take trades on GU and EU this morning (12-4am range) but the range was quite small (my minimum is 20) so no trades. Just as well, as it looks messy out there. Gold in a fairly small range by Gold standards as well. I will trade ...

Lem trading EU??? Now I have seen everything lol. Stark contrast to the mighty Dax.

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

Decent break. Pity I wasn't trading this afternoon. Could have left the EA on to do its work but I still want to be in close proximity in case stuff hits the fan lol.

Was also doing my school run. Used it on the 12-4am range break and it worked out well. Took profit around the daily pivot. Now switched off (for GU any way).

I can see why you prefer the Kijun-sen Lem. It appears to be more 'on the ball'.

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

Point taken Lem thanks. Will not try it on Dax. Not unless I have an EA that can counter like you and Billy (so perhaps never then lol).

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

That looks good mate . I tend to not take more than 2-3 breaks per range because we have all seen those whip days where it will keep breaking out either side, not going anywhere in particular. I didn't trade Gold this ...

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

Yeah I did not understand most of that either

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

This sounds interesting. I am sure if it can be explained with images and logical steps that the coder would understand, it can be coded. I think the wick zone element should not be too hard to code. Price breaks low of candle, enter short If TP not ...

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

Sounds good. I wonder if Dax would be a good candidate for this. Lem used to use the 6am-8am range at one point (although there was some wick zone magic in those trades too). And I am sure Billy has mentioned the 8am-8:15am range on Dax at some ...

Thanks for sharing Claudia. Just a little note, the trading start time for your EA (in this particular instance) should be 1:30 onwards. I discovered yesterday that the EA will use the previous day's range until a new range has been formed. ...

Here are the settings. The only 2 additional settings we got added were: 1) Option to choose which days to trade on 2) Stop automatically at the other side of the range on final trade (your final trade could be your 1st trade or your 75th trade lol) ...

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

It was all Billy's idea

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

Got it thanks. Are you manually testing this? The range break EA will take these trades for you. Just have it on 2 charts. Longs only on 1 and shorts only on the other 1. Different magic numbers. Set the max trades to one per day on each chart. ...
