i knew it: i've my system: it has different "security levels" but the most important is that if a siugnal appears right before or right after a market opening then it MUST BE TAKEN! and again i didn't....oh hell....

It could come back and give you another opportunity.

That's not what I'm saying....all I'm saying is risking a loss of that many pips for a win of only 30 pips - well, it's difficult math for profitibility. Just food for thought....

Yeah, i think you need to keep about a 2:1 ratio in general. And be realistic too.
No particular ratio is needed, just positive expectancy.

If in doubt, close the trade and re-evaluate.

I don't know what your leverage situation is. But if you're not overleveraged, the downward resumption is not a done deal yet - we could still bounce. As gator has mentioned, 2358ish is important. But there is no way that I would take a 100 pip drawdown for only 30 pips. If you decide to keep it open, I wouldn't let it come back on you again - lock some profit...take half off the table, and let the rest run....

Depends on your system. I've seen profitable systems with poor win frequency, but really high reward to risk. I've also seen high win frequency systems with only 1:1. It depends on the system.....

That is correct. I think many people, especially new traders, can benefit from a higher ratio. You don't have to be right as much and it keeps you from chasing pips. Also it will force you to analyze more and guess less.

I don't adhere to a strict ratio, but I do keep it in mind. I can do fine with a 1:1, but at no time will I ever do something like risking 100 pips to gain something like 70.

I'm not interested in sports betting with my capital.

Morning to all , shorting active now & waiting for tp hity 1.2402 , expected movement down to 1.2398 to 92 & as seeing price may bounce again in the wedge up , may be last leg towards 1.2448 to 89 pending long set at 1.2395 & 1.24 for it or whatever work .

personally i enter a trade like a scalper, and as soon as positive, i give to breakeven and the add to position if i get runner, always try to hold as long as possible, keeping the profits run, entry like a scalper, exit like a swinger . Many trades are stoped at breakeven, but when i "catch it", im able to get 1:30 risk reward, yes, its possible, but its just my style...

Shorting the Euro while long on the CHF.

The Euro short has profits locked in from way back but the Swissy trade is new. Keeping an eye on that one. Wish me luck, I need the money for Asahi Supercans

I'm developing a similar trading style. Means that 90% of my positive trades get me a pip if I'm lucky but, the remaining 10% are usually worth mega money. And Now I'm getitng my Money Management under control I'm making money.
I operate with clear definite rules, if I break them I lose BIG!

I think so too, but I was also looking at where it was at and where it might struggle next (2400), so there was no point in giving up pips to gain a few more.

If we start going south of 2400, I might pick it up again.

It bounced off 2420 and I thought it might go back to 2450 for a re-entry. It's holding right now though.

I'm long UC at the moment in anticipation of my buy signal bring triggered at the close of this hour's candle.

Not keep it for much though.

good luck!
