No one answered this question I had from earlier:

About moving the SL to breakeven after the first TP is hit, I understand that. But what is the best way to proceed after that?

Is it best to leave it there until the AO changes color, (the exit price) or would it be safer to trail it down behind some level like the high (low) of the previous day's candle to lock in profits in the event that price makes a strong retracement against you?

For example, it could be possible expecially with volitile exotic crosses like GBPJPY to have moves of 500+ pip moves on the daily charts. Does it seem reasonable to leave the stop set at breakeven when the AO changes as slowly as it does?

How about it Ash?

Not criticizing the strategy, but just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on that idea.

Thanks.
Hi Dave,

Once first T/P is hit you have a number of options where to place your stop loss
1. when AO changes colour and then close at end of candle
2. nearest support or resistance points
3. nearest fib levels
4 nearest swing high or low

I suggest you google Baby Pips or any of the above and then get to understand what your money risk is to what you are prepared to lose to win in the end

By the way i would not trade GB/JP - too volatile for me

so whose aud/jpy short hit their SL today?

c'mon guys you can't just post when you win. that's too biased, making every system look good. you gotta post your losses too.

Aud/Jpy

I am still in and raised my stop loss 103.42
looking to see what happens at the fib 81.8% around the 103.00 mark

Anyone think thats a wise thing to do?

Yep, me too!

Question is - is this just one of those losing trades that are unavoidable (i.e. no system is perfect)? Or, with hindsight, can we deduce why this trade failed?

New to trading and this system, but looking back to the signal candle - could this be a hammer signalling rejection of a fall? Just a thought.

I am attempting to do this but only started last week so don't have any results just yet.

However, it would appear that the consensus is that just blindly following the signals would not provide a profitable system (see previous posts). Trader discretion is needed to avoid support and resistance, trend lines, fibs etc.

Time will tell! 103.42 I guess is the last swing high which you are hoping provides resistance? Hope it does....good luck!

That i disagree; if you look at the trend it has been ranging.I didn't personally pull that trigger because of this.

I see what you are saying. Looks like a range since 26 June for the past 3 weeks. Interesting that Ash has rejected possible trades recently due to ranging but took this one.

Ash - if you read this do you have any insights you could give use...thanks.

The reason i didn't take the AudJpy short is it had bounced off the ascending trend line with a good Pin bar so I figured it would be going up before comming down. That trend line has been on my chart for sometime and when it touched it almost to the pip it showed as good support
