Maybe that's my problem. I walk almost always at the very end of the trend. I'm waiting for ASCTrend be all one color.
If I have the M5 and M15 agree with each other, and our other indicators (Matrix, stochs etc) also agree, then I will take the trade. even if the M30 and H1 ASCTrend say opposite....BUT.....I will be well aware that the larger TF trend (M30 and H1) are opposite, so I know that this trade may not be a big one, and that I should consider exiting in profit at the next pivot, round number or whatever. If I am lucky enough to enter a trade where all 4 ASCTrend TF's agree, and the MAtrix, stoch etc also agree, then the trade may turn into a decent runner and instead of exiting at the next pivot, round number etc, I will move my SL up into (more) profit and look to see if the PA is going to move on to the next pivot etc etc.

It's just a matter of experience, but, as I said a while back, all you need to do right now is to get consistent. 20 pips per day is great start. 20 pips per day compounding (as per the spreadsheet on Post #1) is still a very good earn over 6 months. There;'s no need to look for 'home runs' every time you sit down to trade. 4 trades of 5 pips = 20 pips.

Anyway, I hope that helps.....I'm off to do some chores.....back for Frankie

Totally agree with you. I have for example a big problem at the moment, is that I open the transaction earlier than necessary.

Thank you very much for the advice.

At what stage do you move you SL into profit Steve?

My way of doing it is to never have more than 2 trades open at any one time, unless the trades are protected by a SL in profit, even if the profit is 1 pip....at least then the trade has no more risk. When I have the trade protected I am free to open another one, either on the same pair or on another pair. So I can end up with 4 or more trades open at any one time, but never will more than 2 of them be unprotected by at least 1 pip.

Well....I did wonder why you would short EJ. You're going against the overall trend and surely it cannot have escaped you that the Yen is being weakened since almost the beginning of the year.

EU was a much better bet for a short.

Just google FXCM in your area

You can probably get even better spreads at pepperstone, but there is a commission to pay

At that time German GDP released. Better avoid news releases. NU or AU were good I think.
