{quote} SL is 20 pips below H1 fractal of 1.3896. So I may close if H1 close below 1.3876.
So, your stop loss is practically dynamical.

Yes. At times I am not at my computer to see the close like meal time. But most time I take a look every 30m to 60m during day trading.

You done the same thing to USDCAD. Those happily bought them and held now think otherwise.

I don't know how helpful can this be because this is after the fact.
The truth is that this week is a down week. May start reversing today.
When a day candle high/low is broken, then we use the H4 to draw trend line.
At times we may be wrong on the direction, just price deciding to turn or not, but most time should be right.

Today is such a day we are not sure price is turning or not. Until maybe about 10 GMT we saw some sign.
But still not sure going up trend or not because do not know whether today's candle will close above yesterday's high.
If you have bot EU and GU, your case is similar as mine. My entries were really off, lousy. You can read and see how I place my SL.
That case was when the price is still below my entries.
But when price is 20 - 25 pips above your entry, you can either put to BE or a hard SL 20 pips below the H1 fractal. It's up to your discretion, not a hard and fast rule.

Rowad.........a hard stop is where do you think the price should not go.............work on your entries and the stop will be evident.....for example when I said earlier this day buy Gold from 1321-1322...............my stop was just few points below 1320...........why because I don not want to be a buyer when this S is broken............what makes my stop tight is that I entered just at the S...............so what is the reason to wait more than that..........think about it

The less precise the entry the wider the stop........so prepare your postulated entry levels ahead of your trading session and wait for the price to tell you whether to take the trade or not...............do not jump into trades at every move...............try to sell from high and buy from low and BB there to tell you if the price is high or low relative to time frame you are looking at.........or buy and sell breakouts preferably a retest of that broken level...........

In unfamiliar territory, lol woke up to my TP hit. 108 pips, thankfully I added to it, was my best trade in a very long time. Not bragging, just very pleased and thankful.

Well done! I assume UJ, Nice run. especially impressed that fomc bull's did not deter you. good work.

Don't see it as bragging at all.
