Jacko's P&P Trend Trading Method 73 replies
DislikedIt seems that a lot of traders were taken out by SL's.
This might not go with Jacko's methodology but I have been using much larger SL's based in part by ATR (Average True Range (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_true_range)) numbers. The market is extremely volatile and and ATR of 14 is still around 200. I use an ATR of 1 as a guide also looking at the past week for SL distance. I have been in the same trade since Nov 22 (Short, wish I got out yesterday @ 1.255 but was away while the market played). I do know Jacko went...Ignored
DislikedIve got an order in to sell at 1.2850, wich is the 50% fib from the high of november 25. to the low of december 4th. 1.2850 is also last weeks high.
Not sure if this is the right way to do this, so please don`t take this as a recommendation.
Comments are welcome...
Wish you all good trading!
Order filled @ 1.2848
SL @ 1.2870. Trailed it down here. i use 50 pip slIgnored
DislikedHi,
I wouldn't rush in this fast on monday morning, before London open. Too dangerous...
This might take it up to 1.3000 so you might just catch this.
Remember this rule. If it doesnt' make lover low, it will make higher high. Look, it did not make a new lover low at 1.25500. So I wouldn't be surprized to see 1.30000 next . Maybe a buying opurtunity somewhere there.
Best of luck.Ignored

That this last drop of eur wasn't steep enaugh stopping at 1.25500 ....Ignored
DislikedHi,
I see. Actually in layman terms you're referring to the short term uptrend. Putting it in my own words, you're believing that the short term uptrend is not over hence the price has potential to rise up further. Until you see a potential point of reversal (trendlines, fib retracements), then you'd pull the trigger. Correct me if im wrongIgnored
