i am in for a quick few pips
I think you will get a few pips on that too, I would watch it as it closes in on todays low, you might get a bounce, but then just scale it down and move your SL, and I think it could turn out to be a good profitable trade.

Ha! that was fun! the danUk style SL(red dotted line on the chart) hasnt being triggered yet...it is at 1.5089. Well, we will see how the rest of friday goes and next week.
Well, my SL was triggered. At one point the trade was +30 pips in my favour but i didnt move to BE or offload, i was waiting for a +40 pips in my favour to do that. Hahaha.
it was countertrend trade, for sure. countertrend/danUK style
Anyways, made some nice gains in USD/CAD short. So, not soo bad.

This more the profit target that I would expect from a "Trend Trading" system. I'm just getting back into FFactory after a hiatus (it was blocked from work!) The system I use now has a 50 pip S/L and 200 pip profit target. From the trades I've seen on my charts, this is certainly doable when a pair is trending. But there are plenty of pairs (look at the yen the last 10 days) that don't go anywhere for awhile. My objective is to only trade what's trending, and allow for periods of relative quiet.

I'm also seeing a good opportunity on the GBP/USD...
It all depends on how you trade, if you trade the intraday trades then the targets of course will be smaller, if you trade longer term then your targets will be bigger, the method we use can be used eitherway, long term, medium term, or short term. The key with this method is locating the entry with a very small SL inplace, then the targets can be whatever your trading style allows.

For the most part anywhere from 50 pips and higher is the normal, all depends on the indivdual, we have trades from 30 pips to around 500 pips (Custos so far holds the 500 pip record hahaha) but really ride the trend as long as you can or want too.

I hope EU can make new low today..
I think if it gets down to the 1.3500 area it will retrace back some, BUT I also think it has quite a distance to fall yet, there is brush in the way if it can clear the top of that brush pile it could go for a distance yet. I am going to hang in there and ride it as far as I can.

Thats too risky for me especially after looking at the daily and weekly charts but it may work out ok, I for a while anyway am going to stay clear of the pair.

That was impressive trade by custos, but i think shahroor GBP/NZD short beats that...gbp/nzd moves on average +200 pips per day...so, you can understand. Holding it for two days trending will almost guarantee you +500 pips. A week trending, you are pushing +1000 pips.

I was not aware it moved that much, I do not have that pair on my MT4 platform so thats a pair I have never traded. Those are the pairs I look to trade.

This is where we both took the trade.

that was 2.1600...now it is at 2.1200 = +400 pips. Unfortunately, i didnt hold that long.....

Keep in mind, she has been in it a week before that....i think around 2.1900 or 2.1850 area or something.

So, i can only imagine how many pips she has accumulated on GBP/NZD.

Those are the kinds of pairs you like to see trending because you can ride those a long way. I have that pair on my trading platform but not on my MT4 platform, I could use MIG but I get way too many gaps and bad data feeds from them. And the FXCM MT4 disconnects alot on me so I dont use that one much either.

The spread is large though: around 15 to 20 pips. So, definitely, you cant trade it on anything less than D/H4. well, i guess you can try H4/H1, but for what? when you can simply trade long time frame an accumulate the pips like crazy.

Well, my NZD/USD trade is up by +20pips. Since the RN of 0.7100 is right in front....and i didnt quite enjoy the experience of being in profit by +30 pips on gbp/usd only to turn it into a loss. I think, i will B/E this trade by selling 1/2 and adjusting the SL. It is friday...gaps could happen over the weekend too. Better safe than sorry.

I get the hector 7 pips spread rule if you are trading H4/H1 or H1/15mins...not sure if it matters when you are at D/H4 or Weekly/D1. But each to his/her own.

The ADR on gbp/nzd is 212 currently, i have never seen it below 200 pips before.
