Quoting highway3000DislikedP.S. I notice the target is lowered - not 70 pips.
How should one calculate the target ?
Thanks

Quoting highway3000DislikedThanks Traderswin,
Thanks for pointing out my error. I seem to be computing things wrongly these days. You have a very slow learning student.
I made also a mistake today getting out of the short trade reading the chart which was in the wrong time frame. Could have gotten more than 200 pips only with GBP/USD today. It is now down to 1.7280. Well, something to de careful in the future.
Thank Traderwin.
Have a nice day

Quoting jkappelmanDislikedI have really enjoyed your thread and congrats on your efforts. I really like a similar breakout strategy called "Big ben". It is about the same as yours on the GBPUSD.
One thought would be to sell out half of your position at a certain point, maybe breakeven, and let the rest run on.
I wish you continued success!Ignored
Quoting traderswinDislikedGBP/USD short triggered @1.7171, SL triggered. Result :-40 pips

Quoting highway3000DislikedMy MA did not cross and Stock, Step-RSI and CCI was at the extreem bottom <20 . Thus I was not in at 1.7171
Neither for CHF.
I imagine something will happen after home sales data.
Fingers crossed - waiting
Good trading
