Many have discussed in this thread about stop loss for my strategy.

For my system, the price can go against me only when unforseen thing happens.

It is not averaging strategy, but, I just do averaging to take advantage of max 5 pips.

I have posted screen shot above.

Just look at that.

Anyways, as i said, it is not commercial, so, will not gointo deep in this subject.

I have posted entries, just see if this matches with your system entries.

If it's works for you ,fine.
Generally averaging with no stop strategies never ends well.

I hope You know there is difference between martingale and averaging.

Martingale buy entries for example :

1.3750
1.3725
1.3700
1.3675

Here one is not sure of direction, so keeps adding long entries

Averaging ( DCA ) example for buy trades

1.3740
1.3742
1.3743
1.3744
1.3745
1.37455

The DCA here is 5.5 pips.

Here one knows the direction.

Hope you learn.

In my strategy, it goes against me maximum 15 to 20 pips.

The important thing is it hits my TP without fail every day. Mostly in London session itself.

I open trades at 6 pm est in GU only.

Set my TP also at 6 pm EST.

And i just monitor therefter at times during my night time sleep.

I will be cautious to open trades at 6 pm EST if there is employment news or CPI from London at 2 AM east. ( my night time )

It does not work in gold or Indices for example

Just out of curiosity—if the direction is already known, why not enter the full position at 1.3740? Adding entries at progressively higher prices (in a bullish scenario) not only raises the average cost but also impacts the overall risk-to-reward ratio.

Logically, DCA is usually applied to reduce the average cost, not increase it. Would love to hear your thoughts on that.

Seriously telling here, if someone unable to capture 20 pips cleanly in a day ( thinking of stop loss ), he needs to go back to drawing board

My bias for GU is long since asia open.

My theretical target is 1.3700 +

Asia opened at 1.3650.

I was unfortunately out side totay so, could not capture asian low.

My entry were 1.3654 and below.

Now, coming to your question, one can take fixed price entry too.

I do DCA to make better avearage price.

My forst entry at 1.3654
then DCA

Down to 1.36458

I could get average price 1.3650 almost.

My TP in averaged price is 1.3670.

However, i set 1.3674, which is hit
