Step 1.
I have an FXCM demo account running Metatrader 4 and a 1 min EURUSD chart open.
This chart has 1 indicator on it, Bollinger Bands with settings 20 and 2.5.
I found that deviation of 2 creates too many false signals and deviation of 3 means you’ll be lucky to see more than 3 trades per day.
I settled on 1 minute for the number of trades it offers during an average day and because the 5 minute offers no better ITM rate.
I also have the Market Watch window open on the metatrader but I reduce the size of the box down so I can only see the EURUSD rate and the clock.
It’s this clock that I use as my “countdown trigger”.
Step 2.

Step 3.
OK as you will have seen elsewhere on the BOE Boards,
the trading strategy is simply to take a trade in the opposite direction when a candle closes outside the Bollinger Bands,
so if it closes out of the top band I enter a Put, and if it closes below the bottom band I enter a Call.
As the Market Watch clock gets into the 50s on the seconds and if a trade appears to be lining up,
I’ll hover over the Put/Call button and closely watch the clock and the chart so I can nail the trade the moment the candle closes.
Expiry is 1 minute.
Trading times
I avoid the period prior to London Open as there’s often a series of trades in the same (wrong) direction as the market gears itself up for the day,
so I’ll normally look for the first trade from 09:10 UK time and I’ll then trade until about 13:15,
picking up again around 14:30 after NYC Open to avoid another rush around that time and to give me a chance to enjoy some lunch without worrying about trading!
For those of you trading Asian markets I’d avoid the “dead zone” and trade from about 02:00 onwards (again, UK time) when there might be enough movement to be able to make sense of this strategy.
Trade sizes
My first trade is $100. If this trade ends ITM I make $82 and look for the next one, again at the starting level of $100
If the first trade ends OTM then my second trade on the next signal is $320. If this trade ends ITM I make $262 which recovers the original $100,
also creates the original $82 of profit that the first trade would have made, and then makes a further $80.
Again your next trade is at the starting level of $100
If the second trade ends OTM then the third trade is $512.
If this trade ends ITM then it recovers the original $100 and the $320 but there’s no profit,
we’ve just recovered the losses and we move on with the next trade at $100
If the third trade ends OTM we REPEAT the $512 trade. If this trade ends ITM we generate $420 towards recovering part of the losses made in the other trades.
These 1-4 trade sequences we call “events”.
Most events will be only 1 or 2 trades,
i.e. you will be making consistent strong returns most of the time.
When an event consists of 3 consecutive trades you will break even on that event and look for the next trade
When an event consists of 4 trades where the 4th one ends ITM you will subsidise your loss on the previous 3.
Some people can’t face the concept of a trade that doesn’t generate profit,
but believe me I’ve run so many examples that this structure works best in terms of risk/reward over time.
When an event consists of 4 trades and the 4th one ends OTM you will take a “hit”.
Based on the above numbers the hit will cost you $1,444 at this level.
When this happens you set the platform back to $100 and start again.
