Quoting thedaytrader
Today I am trading 4 bounce points, 3 on the long side and 1 on the short: Short Side : 3388.85 Long Side : 3365.97, 3358.75, 3348.41 All have default 1.5 points SL to start with to be tightened as soon as it can be :-) The chart (4hr) with these levels... attached [The last bounce point which just bounced a couple of hours back is in grey dotted line... This was a good trade, but we just missed (SL closed too soon) by a few decimal points.] {image}
No trade triggered yet, so leaving all 4 limit orders with the EA handling the exits... will update tmrw morning the results... have a nice rest of the day

The fact i noticed is we both are trading (almost) same strategy(bounce points) and your sl are hited multiple time before going into your dierection is kinda sad...

just see and try to figure out whats going wrong ......

either could be your limit is at the very beigaining of the zone or your sl too small..

the thing i will say that will definatly increase your win rate and profits is

change your fixed sl from 1.5 to 2................

and place your limit order 1-2 point above/below the point you initialy decided;...........

you don't have to test these on real account put limits with these rules on some demo and see if your real one gives more or the demo one preforms well......

just a brotherly advise
