looks like a short opportunity coming
wait for a pullback is better, see 1H, 4H and Day, long is better

rafiki-please read the rules for this system

acc to the rules(if I read them well) on a long trade you have to place the stop loss at the bottom of the cloud -5 to 10 pips according to the TF you are on.

please look at the attachement to see how I do it .
for the TP just look back at the CS (the black line )to see the next level of support and resitance as a previous support or resistance could as well be a resitance in the future.I just put my TP there.

this is up to the spread at the end and the SL as you have to calculate the...
sorry for my english, I don`t understand how setup TP, please explain

Is there a way to reduce that spread???

I will buy EURUSD (2) and sell USDCAD (4)... is the resulting spread 6 instead of 10???

I don't think hedging works like that. Each pair has a spread differential to cross before BE....if you long E/U but price action moves against you, all things being equal USD/CAD will also move against you. You still have the same double spread to cross, plus the growing losses mounting against you.
Thank you Crucial Point, Bleek, Trizzle, Darkstar

Very true, very true. I guess psychologically I have yet to climb that mountain. I am still fighting to stay in my trades until a valid inci exit signal. For me, one step at a time. Thank you
