{quote} EURAUD hit SL.
The way you trade and where you place your stops is obviously up to you.

But here's how I do it in case anyone is interested...

When every indicator reversed to long on the 4 Hr. EURAUD, I would have exited the short and re-entered long. I didn't take the short because I didn't like that big down bar, but I did take the long.

Otherwise, very often if I get 2 or more indicators changing colors and/or any of the lower window indicators crossing the Purple 50 Line, I move my stop close, or I get out. You can always get back in when/if things turn back around.

I took the long trade on the 4 hour chart entering at 1.6225 and placed my stop at 1.6180. Most likely I will move my stop in about 20 minutes when the new candle starts to about 1.6200 thereby reducing my exposure by 20 pips.

---------

Concerning the EURUSD, I rarely ever trade it intraday because I don't like how it moves most of the time.

YES, you did it exactly right...except you obviously dramatically increased your risk on the trade (and potentially lost out on profits) for what looks like approximately 70 pips (the best I can tell).

But hey, the same thing happens to me sometimes because I don't stayed glued to the screen all the time.

Thank you Rob,

Really really late .I entered because I saw the setup and wanted to make sure if I did the rules correctly.

May I ask how many pairs do you trade?

It fluctuates a lot. It mostly depends on my mood. There's really no rhyme or reason why I trade what I trade. If I have a losing trade on a pair and it upsets me enough, I just switch to a few other pairs for a while. If I have a big winning trade on a pair. I may only trade that pair for a while but I trade it bigger.


I like trading the GBPJPY 4 Hr. chart the best. I also like trading several of the JPY crosses. And, as of late, I like trading the daily USDTRY because it has been trending so well.

Hi Guys,
For those of us who do not use MT4, can you please advise what are the settings for the stocks besides the 8 3 3 and 14 3 3?

Are you using only the Ks or the Ds, and are there other considerations as in you apply to close, etc?

Much appreciated as I am trying to set this up and test it in prorealtime.
Cheers,

Daily USDTRY..do you trade that only short? Some hefty swap on that one otherwise...

Hi RobinHood,

I understand, just wondering if anyone that is using this setup knows if only the K or the D line are used.

I use 2 Stochastics.

On one the K period is the 8 and the 3 is the D period

On the other one the K period is the 14 and the 3 is the D period

Just my 2 cents on the trade set up. Even though your mechanics may have been sound on the 4 hr chart you may want to check the next higher up time frame before you pull the trigger.

Look at the daily chart and you will see the last support level has been broken and all indicators on the daily show short.

Excellent documentation and seems simple(r), once the rules are memorized. I'll give this some tests since TMS has always held a special place in my heart. Shall report back.
