The thing that makes me money in trading is when I "Objectively Follow my Trading Plan".

I understand that I can't catch all the moves or all the signals but my objective is to catch THE VALID SIGNALS & ONLY the Valid Signals.

Hi Tomi,
Congratulations on your consistent results.
If you have five minutes to explain your approach to London Open breakout trades I'd be very keen to hear it. I also trade these market open momentum breakouts but find a lot of whipsaw, or a big stop loss required to stay in the position. Which I'm not keen on!
Essentially I have been taking the first break at open time, and in the long run the 50+ trades make up for a few more -10 trades. But I'd like to hear your opinion on refinement.
Thanks in advance! ~O)
Now, I choose to make a profit in trading.

Tomi wrote:Dave, just like classic S1 breakouts. For direction I check higher timeframe or wave count. I'm a bit picky for saddle point and take only tight boxes with sleeping gator. Lately I haven't seen those setups and even if there are such those end up to whipsaws, as you said. I would like to see market to settle down first, set pending orders and boom to the trade. Last weeks market have just hovered around without settling up. So, lately I have patiently waited some sort of breakout to happen and trade seeds after that.
