Candlestick charts display the open, high, low, and closing prices in a format similar to a modern-day bar-chart, but in a manner that extenuates the relationship between the opening and closing prices. Candlestick charts are simply a new way of looking at prices, they don't involve any calculations.
This method is based on break out period from 14.00 (GMT) to 16.00 (GMT) of major USD currency pairs. You have to check your broker time zone to indentify the correct period on your chart. In this book, I assume that the time on chart is in GMT.
Do the follow to set up your chart:
- Open a 15-minutes chart on a USD major currency pair such as GBP/USD
- Draw a vertical line at 14.00 time on your chart (again this is GMT time)
- Draw another vertical line at 16.00 time on your chart (GMT time)
- Draw a Horizontal line at the highest of candles/bars in between the vertical line.
- Draw a Horizontal line at the Lowest of candles/bars in between the vertical line.
* Then you have the following chart
Entry rules
- Put a buy stop at the high stop loss at the low
- Sell stop at the low with and stop loss at the high
Take Profit Target
The profit target is set at 40-80 pips.
Note:
- If the Distance between the highest and lowest is less than 50-60 pips, it could be very profitable
- If the Distance between the highest and lowest is more than 50-60 pips, it could be not very profitable
- There are always nine candles between two vertical lines.
- The USD news are usually released around or after the 14:00-16:00 GMT phase
- The USD news are usually released around or after the 14:00-16:00 GMT phase
- The signals are only valid for the current day. You have to wait for the 14.00-16.00 period to trade the next day
