DislikedDAN_MIR... I wasn't saying tighter stops were wrong and you should "watch out". I wanted to know how you trade with tighter stops... i.e. - if you found a way to use a tighter stop (keeping losses small ) and still make decent gains. Thanks.
SOMEBODY out there is TALKIN' . Word got out... My last 4 of 6 were losses where I got triggered by (no joke) 3-5 pips on EVERY one of them, then reversed on the next bar straight the other way. It's like THEY know... I don't know who THEY are but I do know that THEY are out there.Ignored
DislikedOh Come On Freevey. Are you trading hundreds of thousands of dollars? Nobody out there cares about my orders or yours. Except you and me. You have seen how price bounces around on the 5m charts, especially the E/J and G/J ... noise is what it is.Ignored

DislikedLighten up, Lou! I think Freevey was simply suffering from a case of good humor. Hopefully it's catchy.Ignored
DislikedPeople,
My broker, ODL (MT4), doesn't allow closing part of the trade, so managing take profit at several prices is impossible, unless you open multiple orders for the same trade and close them one by one as your trade advances.
Please take a look at the following link. this guy developed a brilliant tool that may make our lives much easier because it allows you to set the price, and the orders will be opened automatically when the price reaches that point.
For us (users of this thread), the entry price is well known, and we know it hours before we enter a trade. We can use this EA , get a voice alert when the price was reached and the trade orders were executed. All that we have to do is to manage the take profit.
What do think ?

Just a question... in your situation regarding closing a part of a trade, can you place a sell order for say half of your original order, assuming it was a buy. So when the sell is hit, half your trade is taken off, with the rest still riding. Or if your broker doesn't allow fractional positions, then never mind.Ignored
DislikedIt depends how I'm trading...
Right now I'm trading off of 5-minute and 1-minute chart, so I use Std. Deviation to detect volatility. Volatility is more of a factor on shorter timeframes. One could also use bollinger bands, which are based off of standard deviations.
I also have a 20 moving average on my chart, but it's not used very much. Just to tell me where price has been the most over the last 20 periods.
EDIT: Images not working, let me see what I can do here..
