Hey EO what charting platform are you using? I just started looking over your pdf, and have been trying to trade of the 15m pin/doji/pa/hangman reversal. Just trying one strategy of yours to get comfortable. Any suggestions, I keep rereading your pdf to make I am observing as you would.
Rumus. There's a link in the back of the pdf to download the software and a template as well. We'll have a new template with all the colors matching the pdf soon.

I enter multiple lots on one order and close out at certain intervals. For example. I still have 3 marching long, originally had 6, I have 3 left marching short, originally had 6. Before the current 15m candle closed, I had 4 marching short still, took one more off so now I have 3 against 3. I hope this doesn't confuse you.
Thanks, I understand. I dont think I can close a portion of a an order with fxcm so i tend to have premature exit syndrome.

Call your broker today. You should be able to close out a portion and leave runners out there.

Cheers Infinity. I have taken most off too now. Do you close your trades or just reduce and let them die?

Sometimes and close them fully and sometimes I reduce them and let them LIVE!! I don't leave them to die...

Sometimes they do die for a few pips though...
