Best Thread Live Cable Trading

naturally, as a red blooded male, i went straight for the strip option lol..

Bull in a china shop springs to mind !!

just noticed that fondle works well...

 

[trendie]

that link thing dosent work me !
I keep entering "drain my oil sump" and they just hang about posing.
ditto "I'll have the premier servicing, my goodly wenches".
bloody mechanics.

anyway, FC, one for you.
I have 298 days worth of daily data derived from hourly data on the cable.
I have identified the time of the day that the High and Low are hit.

Of the data: I am only interested when the number exceeds 20.

I get: Highs are hit;
43 times at midnight-1am.
24 times at 8am-9am bar.
20 times 13-14 bar.

thats 87 highs in 298 days, rest split across remainder.

Lows are hit:
39 times at midnight-1am bar;
21 times 13-14 bar.
23 times 15-16 bar,.
thats 83 times, rest split across remainder.

The 13-14 bar seems to get hit as the High of the day, or the Low of the day more often than chance would allow.

worth following up ? ( if nothing else, may help to identify exits and reversals ?? )

have already noticed something along those lines T...

what i came up with was... pick a direction at random at midnight...

enter a stop, and let it run until the end of the day...

as you noticed, the high/low occurs a lot of the time in this bar..so lets assume that it will always be a low...

then go long at the hours close , with a stop just below that hour's low..

not sure whether it gains enough point to beat spread... and also, try trading that one after a few pints in the evening.....

"Drain my Oil Sump" Is that wot you call it round your way ?? Nice :cheesy:

On a serious note, this ties in with some stuff on the Hans thread where they said the morning session was more profitable.... implying the afternoon session had some false signals... i.e. you're buying into the high of the day and vice versa.

Edit:- A viable system seems to be something along the lines of pick a reverse direction at 1 pm.... stop of 40.... target of 100 and hope the wining days=losing days. That way pips would be made on the ratio of winners being > 2* losers.

"Fire and Forget" I think you called it.

hans123: both cable ranges in place:

( values include the 5-pip add-on )
5-9am range:
Short=1.7812;
Long=1.7857

9am-1pm range:
Short=1.7822;
Long=1.7939.

so far: I get the morning range triggered: it rose sufficiently for the S/L to be set to B/E. ( no risk trade )

Am I doing this right ?

Any results from yesterday?

Good luck. I suppose Big Ben is long now? PS. Where do you place your stop?

It is, but it's smack bang in the middle of Cam H3 - H4 .... so as a range breakout it might be curtailed by H4.

Also we've already had a look back below H3.... so it's touch and go today. No different to any other day then !!
