How do we take the 5 pips and still remain in the trade when it continues going down....do we use a trailing stop that starts at 5 pips or do we take 5 and then open a new trade that trails

HAL and I use pretty much the same trade management by closing a large percentage 90% or so (your call) at +5 and then leaving the rest to run. That's the simplest way.

He can fill you in on the other subtleties he uses on top of that at times.

The more you get to know your favourite pair(s), the more you will get a feel for which trade management woks for your style of trading.

Hi TS:

When the signal bar makes a new high, are you looking for any particular length or ratio for the upper wick? I ask since, if the bar closes very near the top of the bar (which indicates that it could be still quite bullish), then the next bar also opens very near the top where the previous high bar closed and then proceeds lower, then there isn't really a "test" of the high since the bar started out there and then just proceeds lower.

Naturally, I wouldn't short it since the previous bar closed at or near the high. But in general, what kind of wick are you looking for on the previous high bar (i.e. signal bar). Your thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

This is a question that comes up throughout the life of the thread and has been covered.

PippyTheGrt and I ran a test on the various bar shapes, ''Long-Bladed'' and ''Short-Bladed'' knives as we called them.

We discovered that at the end of it all, in general, it makes no difference whatsoever. None.

You are better looking up a time-frame to see how the overall price picture is looking, rather than using the H1 bar, which can be deceptive.
