Ill be buying 1.800 resistance break on Swissey. Simple chart for your minds. Keeping in mind that Swissey is correlated to the opposite of EUR/USD, im watching triangle on EUR/USD for a LTL break.

If any one took that eur/chf I covered for nearly 20 pips and calling it a day. However, the initial target really was 1.5110-15

Yes indeed. I have buystop on Swissey 10 pips above the resistance @ 1.800 in case the breakout will be strong and fast. Lets see if we get this break or not, as we always can enter on the pullback, if theres one.

USDCHF looks ready for the breakout. 1TP @ 1.1880 , asian session rarely show any momentum but there could be a lot of pending orders waiting.

Looks like it bounced off 1.1800 again. It seems like it will be a good trade when it finally breaks through as its bounced off that level about 4 times now.

Hi everyone,

I was just thinking how nice all this volatility can be for us and if you just WAIT for the right setups.

But -- I flipped my EUR/USD chart back to 2004 and 2005, when the daily ATR was as low as 25-55 pips, and I wondered, how on earth will I make money trading that kind of market?

I currently use a 40 pip TSL and it works really well for me. But in a market, where the daily range is 50 pips, would a 40 pip TSL still apply? What to do then? Lower the stop loss and consecutively increase the pip value? Or to find something more volatile, like the GBP/JPY?

Some thoughts would be apprechiated from those who traded back then. (BRV, maybe? )

I am sure the 40 pip stop as suggested by BRV is not a figure just plucked out of the air. It is the roughly an amount that will allow a trade 'to breathe' based on the market volatility. Therefore, in the days of lower volatility I am sure the stop would be less and therefore your pip value would be higher to equate to the same risk per trade.

Hello hendrix,
I see your issue here,but again I tihnk this is just another prime example of experience,(screentime).There are many instances when brv gets out early on a trade when he pretty much knows it is going to be stopped out.Sure there is some technical ways of figuring out a stoploss such as you mentioned ATR,GW uses a 60 and 20 minute moving average.It just comes down to the individual and what you find that works well for you.Of course the obviuos comes into play with the volitality latetly.Just play around with it and it will come to you.

Yep, I got in Was just hoping for confirmation from more experienced traders. I'm up about 12 pips. Greenhaze says his TP is at 1.1880, sound like a good level?

This trade has the potential of running hundreds of pips, due to the super-obvious resistance 1.18 was providing for many days. However turn on your daily and h4 chart and try to assess what important price levels lie ahead which have a good history of being used as both supp & resistance. Your take profit strategy could be taking 1/4 or 1/3 of your lot size as you see important levels being breached/rejecting the current price. Also try to pyramid on every retracement. This could be a good profit:risk trade. If price wants to retest 1.18 stay positive and let the trade run. If it breaches 1.18 then it could be a false brakeout
