Shermenator. Thanks for your charts. I have been looking at the NB strategy.

From what I understand once in a trade your next target should be another S&R level?

With your current GBPUSD trade, would you be looking at the 4700 level as a target?

Thats an area I might consider taking some profits based on price action or simply move my stop to break even since my real target is 4980 and above keep in mind thats simply a target in my head but it all comes down to how the market moves once in the trade ....you have to be adjusting to the conditions of the markets as it takes place. You can only plan so much prior to the trade since you have to see as the market develops the trade changes.

Just came home from a nice dinner in town and saw GBPUSD right between 1.4605 - 1.4577, where I had a demand zone. Didn't pull the trigger though, as I believe Bernanke has an important speach in about 10 minutes... Sherm, I see you made a killing today . Great trading there!

I see. Coming off at a random tangent as Im trying to get into the thinking process. This may seem like a obvious question, but at what point do you feel that a level is going to hold? Are you waiting for a hrly close above or below a s&r level?

Do you wait for price to break a level then place a limit order to catch the move?

I actually do a bitt of bott sometimes I throw limit orders sometimes I look for a close above resistance or support it really comes down to how the setup is forming and how it looks....as well as the rythem in the chart...I have no exct rules I look at the market structure as well so it really changes trade to trade every setup is different ....as well as if I know if I should scalp or hold

My long GBPUSD @ 1.4482 wasn't hit by a couple of pips.
Do you consider a good idea to use chase orders?
Thanks!

IMHO, don't chase the trade... Be patient and look for the next good oportunity... Don't take on more risk than you need to...
