hi folks

any idea what a usdjpy pip is worth?

I consulted 2 online pips calculators and they say 0.61 but Ibfx seems to have another opinion ?!

In dollars 1 lot is $8.42.

 

Fantastic work rad. Very clear and precise entry rules. Looking forward to next week.

Just one thing if you don't mind. Have you discarded the original alert and entry candle rules?

Cheers,

discipline, discipline, discipline

Well, this just re-enforces my view of trading being more mental than anything else. Made two trades, +16 for the day. Should have closed platform, and gone and joined the family. But then greed took over, wanted to be part of the action a bit more as I "knew" the yen crosses were going down. Got in, and like the pip god personally decided that he was going to punish me for being undiscilpined - it went against me!! Undiscipline compounds undiscipline, changed my sl, as I "knew" it was headed south. It went up some more. Eventually closed it out for -20, so -4 net for the day.

Strategy for next week - report to the wife after each trade, am sure she will be able to prevent me from going back to the computer after daily target is reached

On a serious note, I am extremely happy with the method, and really look forward to next week with rad's rules.

Cheers,

K.

 

major pip issue

itguy:
In dollars 1 lot is $8.42.

first I consulted an online pip calculator it said it's 0.61 or something

avoid this calc guys Info Forex - Pip Value Calculator

and as you can see based on that I entered a large position and suferred an unexpected loss

anyway here's the problem I have

attached is a live ibfx statement

trade1 : 4.87/(1.45*4) =0.839655172 that's 0.839

trade2 :30.46/(1.45*25)=0.840275862 0.840

trade3 :24.98/(0.99*30)=0.841077441 0.841

trade4 :17.5/(0.99*21) =0.841750842 0.842

Well said Rad- let's try to keep to this subject in this thread guys think we are on to something.

I re-read the original document today and did a manual backtest on 1hour chart GBPUSD from 9th July to 16th July = 207 pips profit for 6 days trading 24/7 which equals about 34 pips a day I think I may be on the way to finding my personal grail, need to do more testing but there is light at the end of the tunnel I have attached my testing results

Good work Leeb. I have attached a template for the gbpusd 60min showing the trades as per my setup and rules from 7-10 till now. Take a look and see how it compares to the trades you made. (for info only!!)

I am not trying to get you to change! You do things the way you are comfortable. Keep testing bro... You are on the right track.

 

Hi Rad, great template - do you white for white alert candle then white for long trade and red alert candle / red for short ?
