Be careful with a bar that breaks the previous day high / low At least that's what I do ...

Thanks for pointing that out. Lemercenaire has mentioned it aswell. I am pondering weither I should leave those trades or not, as the original rules don't state anything about it.
How did you get yourself in on that EU trade? I was glancing at it on my second screen and it just shot down. I would not have been quick enough to enter that.

It takes less than 5 seconds to place a pending order. The rest is waiting .. Sell stop I have 10:07 minutes activated,
1 minute before returning to the opening level

Hm interesting, the move away from the open away from the open and back through it happened in about a second on my screen (using FXCM atm) and never went far enough beyond the open to be able to place a sell stop.


Another setup on GU on the next bar, but I didn't take it as the stop was too large for my liking (about 30 pips)


@hal7 How do you decide which pair to trade? (I am only trading GU atm, just for future reference)

Cheers, Wizzle

Wizzlebizzle I watch 10 pairs, the basics mostly. I like to try and pick out a retrace to a past level or, ranging conditions. Sometimes right, sometimes wrong. A good idea to stick to one pair like you are doing. Notice TooSlow I believe only trades the JY.

Stock markets are closed. For FX though technically open, you'll get thin liquidity and an increased likelihood of slippage.

Hey, if you find something to trade, fair play, I was just curious. No offence.

Hope you did what most sensible folks did and bought some gold.

Morning all,

How do you guys handle large stop losses? I notice that I tend to shy away from anything over 20 pips.

also no offence, it was a good play yesterday on easter monday. normal spreads and liquidity.
only easter-friday was not good to trade for me, because too large spreads.
i trade what i see.
