Carlos

have 3 ways to trade; 2 of them I learned from 2 very reliable and profitable traders, the other was just a logical conclusion from 1 of those methods.

The first one ( and my favorite)is known as a bear trap or bull trap depending on the price bias . I only use GBPUSD and EURUSD.
I quote:
... many of these explosive moves
occur as the result of false breaks of support and/or resistance.
It seems that for a market to make a large move in a
given direction, a significant number of traders must be
incorrectly positioned...


So, what I do is to wait for a breakout of the highest or lowest level created during the Asia sessión, and when price starts to retrace to about 38%, I set a pending order at the 61.8 % retracement level , set the sl few pips above the origin(0%) and 2 tp: 1 at the 100% level and another at the 126% level.

If the orders is not triggered by 11:00 gmt, I cancel the order.

I usually set sl to BE when Im about to reach the first tp.
