Two things, I am very liberal in applying the rules. Red arrow low, It tested it .1 pips. And I also got in later as I saw a consistent move.

Hello everyone

How do you place your SL in order to take 5 pips profit like Hal7, tantra, and other people?
I normally place an SL at the wick of the last bar which costs me around 20-25 pip. So, If I take 5 pips profit I might lose 5 previous win's profit in a single losing trade.

Hi Naruponk,

Hope I am not speaking out of turn here. I have been trading this strategy with decent succes over the course of this year and have a lot of manually backtested data from previous years on different pairs to confirm it works in the longterm aswell.

As you read the thread you will see that different people will use different money management styles.

From how I understand the original description is to place a stop loss under the lowest low or above the highest high . When the stop becomes of a reasonable size, like 25 pips as you mention, TooSlow has said several times before to reduce your position size.

As far as taking profit goes. I don't believe he says exit the trade at 5 pips all together. He says to move your stop to breakeven + 1 pip once the position reaches 5 pips profit. What you do after that is up to you (again, as far as I understand it).

Hope this helps.
