I was watching this pair and undecided whether to enter or not, when the "animal" suddenly took off, and I pulled the trigger - good for 6 pips to close the week.

What percentage of your account do you use per trade? And how much do you lose per trade? Cos you go for small pips but big returns...what's a typical stop loss in pips? 10pips, 20pips, 30? Thanks

If you go to my TE (trade explorer) and click on Trade Report you will find answers to most of your questions.

Generally my SL is a flat 20 pip but I have taken trades that went against me for over that risk and I left the trade on because the HTF supported the trade. I have taken a total of 41 trades with just one outright loss of 6.8 pip and the 2nd loss was less than 1 pip after commission. See the Trade List for my trades.

My going for small pips is a deliberate strategy which I explained briefly here, as I was trying to prove something to myself - "Slow and Steady" wins the race. The big pips will meet me on the way as I take the small pips the market gives me. I work fulltime, I am 8 & 3 hours behind London & New York respectively and therefore take whatever the market gives me. I have proven that you can take small pips and double trading account in 2 weeks

Shalom

I cant. Its some sort of an index indicator as you see, with different speeds and weights. Nothing what you cant get similarly on the web.

Hi everyone. I'd like to ask; If it is said a condition is bullish for certain currency, does this imply bearish for the currency/USD pair?

The best I've found in terms of indices is here:
https://www.mataf.net/en/forex/tools/currency-index

I always keep an eye on the indices when trading. Helps to see the main drivers for the moves we see in the pairs and then can also help pick the best pair to trade. Also the HTF zones give nice confluence for holding trades a little longer.
