guys, wat is the best SL to TP ratio?
I use a RR ratio of 2:1+ on trend trades, 1:1+ on countertrend, that way if you take some of your position off in a trend trade you should still be over 1:1.

After taking profits and putting myself into the Black for the day.
Why? Because I think it was retesting the 1.3293 area, and will now go back down. Not confirmed this yet, but the signs are good.
Good Trading. (keep it simple).

Yeah, I think anything over 2 to 1 is definitely good. 1 to 1 is also okay many times, depends on what kind of trade you're looking at (timewise).

2:1, 2 for TP or SL?
2 for TP, 1 for SL. So I'll aim for a 100 pips gain, with a 50 pips SL, for example.

The 5 min bar closing at 14:05 GMT (1.3256)

Is now good enough confirmation that we are going down.

This is my opinion and if you don't agree don't take the trade.

Oh well, that still varies quite a lot, still trying to find a solid, stable sytem. I just provided these numbers as reference for what I consider an acceptable risk/reward ratio.

Yes, in fact I have, but I have to admit it's quite a monumental task to go through that monster thread and really absorb all the stuff in there, so bit by bit.
