Silver will be left to run. I am looking at holding it past the highs. SL will be move to lock in profits at the base of confirmed Swings.

DislikedNFP 5 minute IB
Took the USD JPY trade short before NFP news, market broke my short entry at 93.13 and plunged nicely. Took profit at 50 pips about 2 minutes later and am now short of the 5 min NFP IBs breakout.
Silver is running running and running (did I mention RuNnInG).
Plenty of 5 min IB breakouts for NFP news.

DislikedHi Razor.
Pity about the SL getting triggered (low 91.21 (20 odd pips past your SL before it took off again). I notice you set a 40 pip SL on this trade. Do you normally use a fixed (valus) SL or does it vary accodring to situation/set up. Just curious .....

DislikedDepends on how I am trading it. I have a couple of things up my sleeve that I look for but more or less it is below a candle pattern or an area that I am looking at. It was a bummer to see it shoot up but that is trading. There is still plenty of room up from where it is besides I managed to capture a some profit from the USD/JPY. It would be nice to be able to pull the trigger on everything but Silver is the highlight of my year with its position looking stronger. I still have my full position on this trade and it is currently up $1.70 per unit...Ignored
DislikedGreat work mate !! I hope it keeps roarin ahead !
Interested that you still have your full posi still on. Have you modified your original strat for DIBS...seem to recall you would take half off once trade got to b/e?
Also, do you still only take trades (DIBS or otherwise) off 4H charts or do you play the 1H (per PC, James996 et al)?
cheers

ps. I agree re Ozzie. Watching for next retrace opport to go long againIgnored

DislikedI have branched out a little. I have taken on board futures and indices and will be trading these with a technical approach. At the moment I am trading them through RBS who use an Oanda platform so the screen shoot with look the same when I post them. Please note that these are being demo traded at the moment and if I feel comfortable trading them along side currencies then I will share some funds and trade both.
