You do know you have to add the spread for a limit or a long stop order, don't you?
Yes.

That is forex 101 stuff. I do believe you need to add the spread to that when setting a buy stop. .6693 + 5 = .6698 is what your buy stop should say, then it will trigger when you hit .6693. Am I right everyone, please comment if I am not.

My stop was set for .6693. 4pips above the high of the trigger. Or do I have it wrong?

Thanks Jim

I will reconsider this when placing trades. I used the indicator level which does not quite cover the spread. Thanks for pointing that out.

Its an old IB, kind of like I am watching with the E/U. I usually discard after 3 bars fail to break the IB. But since there is consolidation, I will wait this one out. Plus the strong uptrend we are in helps.

Like I said before, I can not tell you what to trade, you must do that yourself.

US/JPY IB setting up for Sell

But there is a low only 10pips from entry but if it goes to the support at 90.04 is good for 30 pips?

I guess after last nights little episode everything is looking like it's consolidating at the moment so maybe I'll have to come back at London open.

Then again Maybe I'll just fiddle about with very small lots to get a feel for this method.

Thanks HH.

Watch that .6714 level, it may only go to that point.

Thanks Jim. Will watch that level for turnaround. My entry was a little early but I got lucky and it paid off.

Hi Jim,

I second that.

thanks,

Hi HH,

I've been lurking in the shadows for a while and I'm finally starting to learn something form your great tips and insight.

Please don't pull this thread, I can't speak for anyone else but I seriously need this.

Skype and other IM communities are great if you can be there live but I'm in Australia so trading the US session is almost impossible for me due to the timing so my only alternative is to trade the London session - which is very late for me here.

I can read the thread posts during the day and practice the trades.

I need this...
