{quote} The only way to take advantage of the trend is to buy or sell when you have a predefined setup and make sure you are in the market before a trend develops. Exit when the market has expanded (multiple MVA's is one way of seeing an expanded market) SMALL LOSSES ...BIG WINNERS. Trade both ways. The losers will be stopped out while the winners will stick. There are multiple ways in doing this.

Last examples and I'll leave your thread be - once I start, I can't stop! On Intra-day markets I typically target 2R profit, and on the longer term daily / weekly charts trail a stop 2 bars back, as this typically produces greater than 2R over the year per trade as an average - I sometimes sell a portion of the position once up 1R too - depends on how I feel on the day or if I need the money! I personally trade this across 200 UK stocks + forex + commodities + Indexes and there are multiple opportunities per trading day across many time-frames -...

EURNZD is starting to push lower, I'm trading with very low risk while I wait for my credentials from the funded account from the challenge I passed last week.
