when you see that the market is being kind and gives you a second chance today, you better take that second chance and make good use of that one and only chance before Christmas.

Go for it!

Make every trade count!

Position size question.
If you have 3 targets say 10 25 and 40 pips and you open 1 lot with 3 positions with 10 pips odds are 55% 25 pips 35% and 40 pips 10% how would you best divide your multiples? Given the odds you move SL to BE after 1st target then move SL to 10 pips after 2nd target. What is the ideal position sizing strategy.

Hey Tekkies, what happened with EURUSD?? Did someone tell you on Sunday (Oh, was it in a weekend Zoom meeting doing TDA with IMT that only those with special credentials and invitations can join??? LOL) that
"this H4 down swing is TRYING to go into a new down trend with the goal of pulling down H8 and H16"?

Looks like H16 made it down already ...

Position Size depends on the initial SL of the pair, the ATR H4 if you are day trading with H1 and M15, the trade setup and the price action where you would consider for the SL.

Today trade GBPJPy, Frankfurt Open hour momentum trade.

- quick take profits TP1 +10pips, TP2 +15 pips, TP3 +20 pips and remaining pos stopped out +2pips by the pull back

Given the odds you move SL to BE after 1st target then move SL to 10 pips after 2nd target. What is the ideal position sizing strategy.

here is an example using ATR H4 for SL

this example is when someone sell 2 positions on Dec 17 @1.2227 and held the positions over the weekends floating in losses...
and the market was kind to return back to the level 1.2227 not once but twice for him to breakeven.... lot of FEAR and GREED in trader's mind.

As it was discussed in yesterday zoom session, most members unanimously agreed - Plan A would be to cut losses. Simple decision because the H4 PA was above its 5EMA and the Weekly Trend 2/8 still bullish and the TDIC1 Daily was also bullish on Friday.

Plan B - to look for recovery trade after the cut loss.

If holding on to those sell positions for profit, then H4 2 x ATR (-56pips) would be the worst case SL. -56pipos would be used for the Position Sizing of the 2 positions. And the market did not hit that SL.
Now we can see if 1 xATR profit +56pips would bring a +1R trade.

EU Dec 17 sell @1.2227

if Dec 17 sell positions were based on H1 ATR 13 pips and 2x13pips for the SL,

then the trades would have hit the - 26pips and in using Positions Sizing the loss would be just the %risk of money.

the problem why many traders lose money is when trading with fixed lot size and do not use proper risk management.

When you look at it, remember that even a stopped clock displays the correct time twice a day ...

A properly functioning clock has hands that PROGRESS. Give that some thought with your "trend" time frames and you will realize that the "master" TF is not fixed, as the ignorant would like you to believe.

It sure did. And when we find the control TF and then move with the focus TF as it moves, we have our trade plans prepared in advance to capitalize accordingly.

And as also stated on Sunday,
"Take note that Brexit is an UNUSUAL event. Therefore, some UNUSUAL and erratic behavior can appear,"
so no shock that we had an "unusual event" at this week's open that magnified the EXPECTED down move on EURUSD.

You are in the wrong thread.

There is no H8 and H16 in the Op Big E Trading Made Simple 5-Method.
Big E did not talked your TDA with IMT nonsense "this H4 down swing is TRYING to go into a new down trend with the goal of pulling down H8 and H16"? Looks like H16 made it down already ..." .
What Big E wishes were many. One of his many wishes is for traders to make the transition to trade the 4hr during the London session and also to trade the Daily. He did that with his USD10,000 account and I believe at that time in 2010 his FXDD broker offered 1:100 leverage.
You have take his advice in his Post$647 and go back babypips.com and learn the basic forex stuff like big candles, small candles, consolidation, reversals, support and resistance, etc.
Also use google with keywords "dead cat bounce" and "falling knife', and you will find good explanation what stock traders like Big E would also know how to trade these dead cat bounce and falling knife.

Have Fun DrDick.
