All my signals are screaming sell now (Im still in sell from 2135 since yesterday). Somehow I get this something inside me that usually is right that it is gonna explode uppppp.

Corrected: Im still in buy not sell

{quote} can u tell me what is your purpose of opening multiple 0.05 sells instead of bigger one ?
Firstly I don't trade big because I don't throw all my eggs in one basket iow I don't make everything dependent on one big trade only. If my stop loss is taken out with my first trade it is easier for me to open another trade because my losses are minimal.
Secondly. How often have you seen price go against your entry and get to a much better price and you wish you could have entered, but you cannot because your margin is used up? I have seen too often that high-risk traders become very emotional because their trade has gone against them for example by 20 pips and they start moving their stop loss up, hoping price will come down. Disaster.
So here is what I propose. Instead of opening 1 big trade. Divide that big trade into 5 or whatever you wish to give you 5 trading opportunities. As price moves against your first entry by 20 pips, open another trade, and if your stop loss is 20 pips you either keep a 20 pip stop on each trade or you open one stop loss for all 5 trades of 100 pips for example. You now have a decent playing field to enter your trades at less risk.

It is just a different way of managing risk.
Cheers.

If the first and second trade goes -20 pips (40 in total from your oryginal price entry) is your setup still valid? True you get emotional, I did myself more than many times, moving my s/l and destroying my accounts, but same thing happens when you are start adding to a loosing trade. You just loose it bit slower with not your entry anyway.

The same principles that apply to all traders will apply here. You need to know when price goes against you and when to cut your trade or trades, you will know that when your system tells you otherwise. As a swing trader I know that price can fluctuate by a 100 pips or more before it goes into my direction.

Based on H1 I have the tendency to trade mixed.. One could sell 1.2133 area but then there is the risk of price breaking above red zone.. and one can try to go long at lower edge of wedge (or at GREEN line touch) but then it has the risk to break out from wedge towards south.. Catch 22 situation.. You decide folks! I will dare to sell some around 1.2133.. Let's see..
