but why not make it +1 or +5 instead of break even? (after spread) you cant spend "break even" at the store. i agree with trying to get the run, but i always protect profit, all of it. just my 2 cents. i kinda get what your saying though. the ones that really puzzle me are when you are up 50 pips, take half off, and ride the rest with a break even stop. again, why not a +5 stop?
Isn't that what I just said? Yea....I don't leave it all out there for the winds of change to blow it away.

Well, dam my scalp stop got wacked for a +10 as I write this.

When I am setting up a trade I close part at +5 and let the rest run setting my SL at BE+1. When the trade goes 50 points I am closing unless I see it is going further and then close at the first sign of a pullback and re-enter when the pullback is done. I don't usually have brain farts, but when they happen BE+1 is better than nothing and it pays for my time.

Well, the reason I put stop losses at BE is for scalps that all of a sudden look like there could be a longer term play possible. I'm not going to bank on anything longer but I surely don't want to get a loss from it either. To me BE is where I got in plus the spread. So I get at least a few pips for my hassle.
trader69 seems to have learned well grasshopper....again its nice to see people don't risk so much for so little.....

kudos on those trades, but is the job what you like to do or is the $ that keeps you?

About profits , what makes u good trader is to withdraw more money from your broker than you invest , my december trade 2008 was 1500 % with 500 eur invested , anyway my januar and februar trades were awfull. What i can say is that forex is good for a hobby , for extra profit , for me its enough to pay instalment for my car. Good luck to everyone

P.S. anyone knows why eur/usd got down hard deep. Maybe i forgot to check something ;(

I work for the only US bank who is making money and I do system architecture so I plan out my week and they pay me an obscene amount of money to draw pretty application design pictures from home. I don't think I will ever leave but for sure my forex revenue is catching up I am sure there will come a time when I hang up my hat.
