Makes sense Hilly, especially with my balance compared to yours!

jeffmack - 31 Mar 2009 16:34 - 10495 of 11056

I think the times are screwd up on ODL. The Market watch time on ODL is currently 15:33, Alpari Market Watch time is 17:33. UK time is 16:33.

Not sure trades are traded at the right time at the moment.

Seymour Clearly - 31 Mar 2009 16:42 - 10496 of 11056

ODL is running on GMT Jeff. Not sure what time alpari call this :- GMT + 2?

jeffmack - 31 Mar 2009 17:04 - 10497 of 11056

Thanks SC, I always think of UK time as being GMT. So UK is GMT + 1 and Europe is GMT + 2.

If I want to trade at 8:00 UK time then ODL is 07:00 and Alpari is 09:00?

Seymour Clearly - 31 Mar 2009 17:10 - 10498 of 11056

Looks like that Jeff.

hilary - 31 Mar 2009 17:26 - 10499 of 11056

Jeff,

I've really got too much on right now to reply properly, but I think that Alpari have switched to BST and ODL haven't.

jeffmack - 31 Mar 2009 17:33 - 10500 of 11056

No probs Hilly. Thks

That strategy that you pointed me to where you take the range of the first 2 hours trading session and place a buy at the top of the range and a sell at the bottom has been working well this week. I have it set up for Europe, USA, Aussie and Japan. So far 5 trades all winners taking 30 pips a trade.

So thanks for that

hilary - 01 Apr 2009 12:29 - 10503 of 11056

Don't forget my nickname is Mrs 30%, Jeffie. So thanks for that.

:o)

I've actually been working on an idea along those lines which takes the breakout simultaneously with an expansion of the bollinger bands after a squeeze.

jeffmack - 01 Apr 2009 12:35 - 10504 of 11056

Hils
Post up your address and I will put a cheque in the post

hilary - 01 Apr 2009 12:42 - 10505 of 11056

Nelson Mandela Towers, Peckham, Jeffie. It'll reach me.

goforit - 01 Apr 2009 13:02 - 10506 of 11056

hils, guy called ty young got a neat(as the yanks wold say) way of explaining/trading bollinger bands, worth listening to unless your already an expert with them

jeffmack - 01 Apr 2009 14:50 - 10507 of 11056

OOOOH 6 from 6, after US opening.

Guess another cheque going to NMT

hilary - 01 Apr 2009 15:52 - 10508 of 11056

I'll prime the postie in that case, Jeffie, although I do hope this cheque in the post thing isn't going to turn out as the second largest lie in the world.

jeffmack - 01 Apr 2009 16:00 - 10509 of 11056

I guess I should ask what the first largest lie in the world is

Dil - 01 Apr 2009 16:51 - 10510 of 11056

lol even I know that :-)

Spaceman - 02 Apr 2009 12:04 - 10511 of 11056

That breakout strategy has been 100% for me this week. I wouldnt mind getting an EA written for it so I can trade the Aussie and Jap opening.

Any advice you can give in looking for a coder. Is it like ebay, only take someone with good feedback.

Spaceman - 03 Apr 2009 10:00 - 10513 of 11056

Jeff what pairs are you using it with and what times? I had a quick look a GBPUSD between 1200-1400UK and I didn't like the stop levels required so under my MM.

Yesterday it would have needed 86 point SL and I dont like to trade GU with that much.

Also when are you closing your trades?

Its strange that no one has written an EA for this I read a couple of other threads about it as well and they didn't have EAs either.
