Ok ... here's what your trade looks like now as of 8:43 AM CST: You got in at the bar with the yellow vertical line ... as soon as you had a few pips going your way, you moved your stop-loss to "lock in" +5 pips and then hoped that the trade would continue going your way (which it didn't ... you'd have been stopped out at the lavender line bar)

If I have this correct, this is a scalping system and if you happen to have the trade go your way, then hooray ... right?

This is obviously an unusual candle ... some would say a freak candle. Something's going on, but are you implying that you were in this trade based on your system? The last time you posted was a couple of days ago and that candle, once again, was an unusually large one going in the opposite direction ... are you saying that you were correct a couple of days ago and this chart is supposed to validate that?

How can I possibly "disrupt" if people are making money with this? Theyd more likely just laugh at me if they're really making dough. I'm just a tad upset about the misleading title of your thread. Had I heard the word "scalping" anywhere in the beginning, and I mean anywhere, I wouldn't have wasted a bunch of time reading it!! What's more important? My time or 5 pips? As far as I'm concerned, my time is more important!! Thankyou.

Well funny thing is, from i understand it, it's not even a complete system; it's just a method of entry that provides consistency. It's up to trader how he manage his position and where he close it.
So for someone it can be scalping system and someone else can use this method to swing trading.
And i think there is even something more important that money management - for me it's proper mindset and you sir, are lack of it;
If you can't find it usefull that's fine - but you could at least try it for more than 2 days.
You just did what most traders do and what Rfs199 include in his elaboration (yes, he put some time to consider all of this and then write it for you - and i say it again - for you); you don't even bother to understand his point of view.
Good luck in your further journey; we all hope you find your holy grail.

Yes, . It is not likely you would do well with any method, whether it has the word scalping in it or not. You need to get upstairs in order first.

There ya have it ... hal hasn't been disrupted. Tell em hal ... you haven't been disturbed at all, have ya?! FYI and why I am so ticked off is because I've been on a losing streak ... lost about $2500 in the past 6 months and am close to throwing in the towel entirely on forex trading. And I don't need any advice on getting my "upstairs in order first". Here's my gripe: It's not just this mis-labeled thread ... I was reading another thread and 350 PAGES ... not posts ... PAGES ... later the OP said in response to one of my queries that he has been "looking at thousands of charts over years and years" ... that was his response. I had to go thru 350 PAGES ... basically equivalent to reading a novel ... just to find out that to trade his "system/method" you need to look at thousands of charts over years and years!!! No consideration at all for ANYONE because he should have posted that on PAGE 1, PARAGRAPH 1. Some OPs do post IMPORTANT FACTS at the beginning ... most don't! OK?????

There is no mention of scalping, swinging, investing, etc... because this is about trading. Each trader makes this method their own by how they use it, if they choose to use it. The 5 pips is only the first target. Each pair has different range and price action behavior. If this method does not work for you, there is no fault. Not mine. Not yours. Find what works for you and use it. Keep in mind, you may have to dig through a lot of dirt to find your diamond.

Green pips to you, Mate. Cheers!
