i am looking to short GU around 1.3810 today
if you are already short, i think better to put BE.
reason is it broke asia high, now on retrace.
could target previous london/new york high.

{quote} from what i observe the days of having over 100 pips are far and few. the average move for tp is roughly about 25 pips, plus or minus 10 pips. consider fortunate if one can get 50, 60 pips.
The oppurtunity (fx) now is tigher stops and bigger size with smallers targets. Just how we need to adapt, I am fortunate I have gold/oil/dax on my list too so I still have some ADR on those.

my own adaptation now is trading in percentage form, not worrying about pips.
putting TP as 1, 2 ........% of equity.
now and then there will be some left over to catch the trend.

interesting your view.

i try (optimally) to split my positions in 3 parts.

first TP is between 3-5 pips (it gives me confidence and a bit in the pocket)
second TP 1:2 risk/reward
third TP a runner, the next important level.

and after every level of TP is reached i adjust my stops.

the reason for me is trying to have some consistency by using percentage as some kind of measurement.
for example, it is not practical to get 1% on a daily basis as one can lose in some day, some week.
probably less stressful to get 5% per week or 20% per month on averaging basis.
of course, that will be ideal.

yes, the belief that i can win every day has cost me a lot of money. it is an unrealistic benchmark-for me.

I concentrate also more on the weekly results, and the percentage data is more important to me than the pips.

GBPUSD, getting interesting again. OP Short setup on m5 on the level would suffice.

Truth is I did not catch it. set alerts left for a short break and missed trigger.
