DislikedGER30 +56+50. That's me done for the day. I did not take any earlier trades for the simple reason I was not in front of the computer. 1st trade was a bit of a risk but there was enough room between entry and the trend line for me to get out if necessary. 2nd trade was a BPC entry, breakout of trendline , pullback to BRN and off we went. Sorry I have not been about, our water main burst again on Friday night but this time in more than one place so I have been laying a new one, we have had to replace over 300 metres of pipe so I have been a bit busy,...Ignored

DislikedDAX (+10 instead of 60 thanks to the Trade Manager) I wanted my SL to move to BE after 15 points, so I set up the TM to do just that. After doing it's job, it started to trail the stop way too close, so I got taken out just to see the price moving in my favor all the way to my TP which was at +60 points. Well, I have to tweak the settings some more. {image}Ignored
Disliked{quote} I tried to Trail with the TM, but because of the volatility in the DAX it does not work very well, regardless of how much you Tweak it. What I found most effective, move to BE +2 and leave it there until you have a Highly visible pullback and then move your Trail, depends on where your TP is, obviously a 20 TP you would just leave your SL at BE.Ignored

DislikedAt what point you consider moving to BE +2? With a profit of 10 or so? {quote}Ignored
Disliked{quote} That's what I intended to do, except the TM moved my SL despite the fact that the jumpstep was set to 0. If I disable it, it won't move my SL to BE.Ignored
