Forex TRAPPING Strategy

This method is basically to do with what a pair moved like the previous 24 hour period.
In this, I will use the GBPJPY, but one could use it on any pair.

Method/Strategy:
You choose your own 24 hour period move - here as an example I will be using 21:00 to 21:00 GMT+1 (my local time).
Mark the High, Low and Close for selected 24 hours.

For example, the GBPJPY for the last 24 hours was: H 138.67 L136.00 and C 138.13
Now total movement was (high-low) 267 pips.

You set your Buy and Sell orders 25% of the 267 total move away from the Close price. Therefore, 25% of 267 pips is 67 pips, thus your orders would be:
BUY at 138.80 (Close + 67 pips)
SELL at 137.46 (Close - 67 pips)
Set your TP also only to 25% of the previous days move - in this case also 67 pips. In theory, if the chosen pair then move only 50% of the previous days total move, you profit ...
Set your SL levels 10 pips away from the opposite order.

Depending on what time zone you are in, I would suggest setting your orders before "your" market opens ... in my case it would be the London Market at 08:00 GMT.
