Quoting fxswing
Yep I agree it could fail there around 1,3950-60, and even if we go higher, 1,4040 area could be another potential failure zone for the longs.. so let's not be too complacent with the market... you're right.
after we stretch we spring back since as for back as my chart reaches. a normal spring back is 2953... i said normal... if correct we would have a 2008/10 lower pattern along with 3 L highs since 2008.. this pattern is measurable and puts 1.09xx in the discussion.. yes im ahead of the ball.. for now i will hold my left nut.

i set hard targets mostly... some people reach 50% of target and close half trade. and let the rest run with a trailing stop.
depending on type on long term i just move sl up.. pv uses trailing stops. he would be more qualified to answer.
Thanks Gator, I favour your theory. When I can I move the sl closer, much less hassle than trying to use trailing stops. I've taken the advice from last Monday onboard and I seem to have improved. Taking more time out is better than hard bashing at the keys, lol

Man, you're wayyy ahead of the ball. But I won't argue with you as we both know that this market is nuts and will try and do the most acrobatic and goofy moves as possible.

Perhaps I'll join you later in the bear camp, but for now I think it's still a bit too early for me...
Getting it right is NOT as important as not getting it wrong.

OK, long now
Hey infinitus, I'm counting the same thing and am expecting the bounce to happen any minute now. Looking for around the 1.404-1.4 area for the retrace before we move back down

Easiest way to apply a trailing stop is to right click on an open order in MQ4....the option for trailing stops is there. If you apply a trailing stop....DO NOT CLOSE DOWN the platform, as the trailing stop only resides on your computer, and is not at the broker...therefore, it will only execute if your system is open.......

Yep. That's why I adjust stops manually at least once a day, in addition to a trailing stop.....

I exited my position mid-last week, just plunged in this afternoon with a short. 5m and 15m setting up for a bullish breakout, the hour's ready for a pullback and the daily is ready for a full on reversal / year trending pullback. How's everyone playin it?
