About
Hello my name is Dean and I have been studying the currency market for 4 years whilst I was an IT student.
I have now finished my degree and are looking for a IT job.
I plan to trade part time from work and have a strategy were I will look for entries at 0800, 1200, 1600 and 2000 hours.
Because I intend to pay for my living expenses from my day job while I compound my profits from my trading activities for at least a year, I need to make quick decisions based on pre determined rules and enter trades based on them. And any position I enter should not be altered in anyway other than being stopped out by hitting a stop loss level.
My trades will be done between 8 am and 8pm GMT(bst)

I shall be trading Cable because it is very volatile and my back testing shows that my strategy has been profitable in the past.
Chart Setup
I shall have a four hour chart of GBP/USD open with
