DislikedYes haha I see what you mean. Yes watching EURUSD closely Thanks for the attachment! At 15-20 pips you usually take 50%, and then move the SL to breakeven? Yes, I see - a logical place on the Charts that seems appropriate – yes that makes sense. Do you also use the EMA as stop loss, e.g If you got a 5M close under the EMA would you close that position?Ignored

Disliked{quote} Hi Angela, I thought I would very respectfully add some comments. I trade for a living and I use Rocky's system ONLY for entry confirmation that sits on top of my own system. I love this entry methodology because it reduces risk on entry. I only use the strength indicator for "false positives"; being to keep me out of break outs that are not genuine. Otherwise I see strength in price action/candles etc. I fell off my chair when I saw that you had taken 19 trades. The most trades I have ever taken in a day/session is maybe 4-5. But I am trading...Ignored
DislikedDid anyone else get the 5 Min SAR's flip (Bearish) on the USD/CHF at .9134? Easy entry after 60 Min candle breakdown. Did take a few hours to take off.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Now this is going to be a "non scientific" type answer..sorry. It is more a "feel" thing for me. I do like to get paid relatively quickly (within an hour of entry). If I have a 60 Min candle close against my position I will look to get out (usually).Ignored
Disliked{quote} Angela...spoiler alert. When price gets on a strong run and I don't get the SAR's flip entry method I will trade off the 5 Min EMA for entry. So price is bullish, wait for price to retest the 5 Min EMA (acting as support in an uptrend). Many ways to "skin the cat".Ignored

Disliked{quote} No I don’t, hmmm. Do you always use the USDX for direction bias? Or only when the USDX makes a very, very strong move?Ignored
DislikedPA kind of meh today, nothing showing very strong/weak. Picked off 3 trades and calling it quits. RobDragon offers very good info/advice much more of a technical trader than me, so pay attention. {image} {image} {image}Ignored
Disliked{quote} Again, just another tool in the bag. I always have this chart on my radar and I check it and the DOW at the close of every hour candle. I don't use the INDEX for directional bias as such; but I keenly watch breaks of S&R to see how that plays out for EUR/USD, USD/CHF, USD/JPY & USD/CAD. Again the key for me is the PA, all the other things are just other tools to help confirm. Does that make sense?Ignored
