Hi Fx365, I traded a trial version of Sniper on the 4H time frame with some success. I abandoned it though as signals every 4 hours was unmanageable for me what with working 9 - 5 as well. Also, having two bars overnight meant that some signals during the Asian session couldn't be taken. I...

Not been in here for a while but seems no posts since June! Is anyone still using Sniper? I abandoned it a while ago and am now trading my own system since the start of the year which is doing ok, despite July which wasn't too good, esp. on GBPJPY. Anyone still using Sniper? Schweepus

Hi Guys, Been away for a while! Just noticed that Gary has posted Sniper results for November of +562 pips. Seems a bit high to me not that I have been trading Sniper on the 1H time frame. Can anyone back-up this claim?

Hey guys, This threads seems to be quiet these days! How is everyone getting on with their trading? I had been using 4H on GU but have now switched back to 1H and using 4H to confirm the trend. 4H was good but I found that I lost quite a few pips by the time the opposite signal was given...

From what I know and have seen it would seem that the Asian trading session seems to be lighter on average than the UK and NY sessions. Therefore it would make sense to see out of this lighter session which pairs trend the most. This could be done by eyeballing the charts and then demo trading...

With the Non-Farm Payroll results today I have decided to close all open trades ahead of it, I can do without the volatility :) Anyone else adopting a similar tactic?

Just got stopped out on the 4H AUDJPY trade. I waited for a pullback before getting in but still got stopped out :( Anyone else take that one too?

Does anyone here pyramid profitable positions with Sniper? An if so would they be able to describe the strategy they use? One idea I have is that once a position is at breakeven one could add to the position using half the risk used initially. So if you initially risked 1% of account size for...

Got stopped out on Guppy and EURJPY (Euppy?) :( Seems that some US data caused the spike up.

Hi Sal, Which are the best 4 or 5 uncorrelated pairs to trade (in your opinion)? Thanks :)

Hi Kent, I am currently sitting at around 833 pips profit!!! I'm trading GU, GUppy, EurGBP and a few others. I'm well chuffed as you can imagine, 4h rocks!!! Just wondering if you close all trades at NY close if they are open? I have been leaving trades overnight and as a result I think I have...

Hi Kent, 4H is going well. Very little whip-saw and much less time spent screen watching. Hopefully the pippage will follow too. I have confidence this will be profitable based on a eyeball backtest of a few charts and Sal's evidence.

Hi wembleyboy, I have switched to 4H as well as I got fed up with the whipsaw on the 1H. So I haven't taken that GU 1H trade. Anyone take the short Guppy 4H trade on Friday?

Sorry to hear about your broker woes Kent :( I was trading EURGBP on the 1H this week and the whipsaw has been awful. However if I had been on 4H I would have been sitting on a nice +200 pips profit from last week. Well we live and learn :) Like I said 4H suits me better for a few reasons. As...

Yes my S/L was hit and only lost around 20 pips. The small loss is not a problem for me it's the whip-sawing around that I would prefer to reduce if possible.
