I see.

I did scalp just only in the unsure trend. Within a couple day we can see continue go to the sky or retrace down ( there is a bearish pin bar on the daily candle ).
well scalping is dangerous bro... if you win 100 times and lose once you might lose it all with scalping

Fellows, I have a general question about BE.
When partial profit is taken, what BE are you using?
I am using BE+2.
The reason I am asking is because very often my SL is hit by 1 pip touch.
Like now Long from 5943, took 20, and locked BE+2 = 5945, and price dropped to 5944, and then UP again.
It pissed me off everytime when I can see lost opportunity.

The reason I believe EO uses +2 is he figures it pays his spread and commission. The setting of the stops is a personal choice. if your not happy with +2 use a BE. Also as price moves further they move the stop up also.

US news came out positive, but it looks like risk aversion does not apply anymore.
Long from 35/50 cross/reverse? Or dollar will be stronger now?

Bro, a cross of the 35sma and 50 ema is what we are looking for.

The candle you are talking about opened under the 50 ema so didnt cross it before it closed, so its a no go.

You are right. For some reason I had 50 SMA on my chart.
Fixed it.

And for now small shampoo on GU played. I wish I saw it before.

Micho, for the last time.

Please don't come into the thread and tell people how they should trade, based on what I have read since you got on this morning. It seems to be all I hear from you.

Everybody has different styles and to tell folks how to trade is not for this thread.

Like we have said from the beginning....please keep comments in line with what the thread is talking about.

Most of the thread is scalping, whether it be for 10 pips or 200 pips.

But to come in hear and say not to scalp, when that's what the majority of the thread does is not cool.

If you feel like stating your opinions then just start your on thread.

But in this thread, please keep your thoughts/opinions to the what is taught.

HOLLA
