Can't believe I traded a lot today. They are all winners. I trade them at the same time.

short UC - 10 pips on the last red candle.

Long GU - 14 pips. Move the stop loss too close to the price, Missing some.

Long EU - 20 pips.
Nice pips just be careful trading multiples eg trading usd/chf and eu together theyre usually corellated if one goes bad on you the other more than likely will aswell

Old bad habit came back again - getting in too early.

Lost -6 and -8 pips for going long on GU and UJ with M1 chart.

Also, it is the third move for GU already.

EU + EJ BE

Hi Hova,

I'm not yet convinced that the strict 1:2 tp is the way to go. I took 34 pips on the same EU trade but got out based on the fact that:

1. It was a big unusual move (possibly 5th wave)
2. It had just broken the R/N and was likely to test it at least
3. 34 pips is a good run for the EU without a pullback

Eric is very successful and I don't believe he holds out for set targets - he seems to grab a handful of pips while the move is strong and then jumps ship. I'd much prefer to have his smooth equity curve than rely on a few big wins like I do - to make up for all my poor judgement.

I keep moving the stop loss, just like traling stop, to the location I like.

I got two scripts to move the stop loss and TP by "drag and drop" the script into the position of the chart where you want.

Does anyone want it?

Hi MJ

Milton, normaly the stoploss was to long, but it was only for the worst scenario, cause i was watching eu as well and as soon as eu would retrace, i am ready to close usdchf

Hi Hova,

Hi mate

Long time no speak, but I have been watching and learning from all the local warriors.

I agree with you . Lately I move my sl very quickly and only go for speed. If price hesitates slightly I tp.

This morning I had 4 trades so far. No losses, but only 5, 7,8 and 9 pips profit.

Hi matlobien,

Well done. Small pips but they soon add up don't they? I think I should be working that way too. I've got a 34 and a B/E so far but fortunes can change very quickly for me!
