Hey 4kids,
So is that setup in the second chart showing a BPC, then you enter on a break of the low of the bar? Also, what do you use to calculate your targets, I have always used fib expansions, but are you targeting the next s/r levels, or what do you use? Thanks, Raz
Never say never.

On the 1hr I was just looking for an early entry,so I entered on the break of that OB. Not a BPC. On the daily there is the breakout, pullback, and I used the 1hr for early entry on the continuation part.

Targets are a combination of s/r and ATR. No set formula or any thing, just what ever I am comfortable with.

Thanks! I would like to see this break the double bottom on the hourly/4hourly, then I would be tempted to sell as well. Looking good, Raz

My original plan was to enter at 135.7 which is 18 pips below yesterdays daily candle, but even if I had of stuck to that plan I would be in the trade by now. Todays low on my feed 135.56.

The target is the first little bit of resistance.It is also 42 pips less than ATR 5.

hi four kids:
I am a new neighbour and pass-by to say hi.

interesting, you're using position size : acc size =3:1 am I right? how do you decide what position size to use?

do you use just chart or fundamentals to judge where a pair goes after several days?

Hi Billye. At the moment ( and bear in mind that my trading is still evolving), I use the charts for everything. I would not have a clue what is happening on the fundamental side of things. If I get a PA set up that I am happy with I take it.

I don't think any of my trades have been open for several days,but in the future some will be and only the charts will be used.

I don't quite understand the other question, but the following will show you my thoughts at the moment.

I know my RR and MM are not what a lot of people here think is right, BUT why rely on some formula that says you can have more losing trades than winning trades and still make money,sounds good and obviously works for a lot of people, but very negative.I just aim to have more winning trades than losing trades. Much more positive.As I said I am evolving as a trader,and may have to reassess my thoughts and ideas in the future.
