DRAW a box connecting the high of the first 4hr candle with the low.(00:00-04:00)
The week starts at the open of the Australian session. Open your MT4 platform(i use FXDD). Press Ctrl+y on a 4hr chart. Lines will magically pop up and at the start of every week the first 4hr candle should form on the line. This is the candle you use for the High and Low.
Box Forming Times:
GMT- 21:00 to 01:00
EDT - 17:00 to 21:00
FXDD time - 00:00 to 04:00
Use Time zone conversion to find out your specific time.
Rules:
- Add a buffer of 10-20 pips on each end of candle
- Buy on upper break of weekly box (including buffer+spread)
- Sell on lower break of weekly box (including buffer)
SL - other side of Box
TP1 - 1x box size
TP2 - 2x box size
TP3 - 3x box size
TP4 - 4x box size
This system works on many JPY pairs.
GBP/JPY
EUR/JPY
AUD/JPY
CHF/JPY
CAD/JPY
May work on other pairs, testing is required however. I like to use 3x-4x box size as TP. I take don't profits at 1x size of box because larger reward is key.
Advantages
- 30 mins a week
- no worrying about charts filled with indicators
- higher reward than risk on EACH trade
- easy to back test
