closed long E/U half position for 90 pips. risked 60. stop B/E. could be nice to add on bpc but today's ATR looks like exhausted, so I will manage whatever I have.
Eur/Chf was at BE and some loss now back to small profit. 100 pips to go for first target. It took massive power of will not to close this position, neither half at 100 pips profit nor when it moved close to BE. I want to see how this will end. Once I have half position closed and stop at BE, I do not care.
I hope there will not be one more BE. Stop at 1.4080. entered after break out and pull back of PB on 1H. I hope it might be a runner.

I was wondering one thing, how do you avoid fakeouts? What is your exact entry rule?
For entry, I like to wait until price breaks a horizontal S/R line and pulls back close enough to the 100 / 200 to allow me to enter with a 20 pip SL above or below both SMAs. Trendlines and horizontal S/R lines help avoid fakeouts, but nothing in forex is certain. How do you avoid fakeouts?

Many of you are missing my point so in a short paragraph ... the market can only do two things, trend and non trend. Non trending periods are followed by trending periods and trending periods are followed by non trending periods. When the 100 / 200 SMAs are flat and close together with price, the market is non trending, this is the signal to get ready because it will trend soon. That is what works 100% of the time. The direction is unknown and you should use other clues to determine direction, but it will definitely trend after a non trending period, guarenteed.

Seeing as some of you feel this is your personal chat / attack thread, I'll quit trying to help and let you get back to chatting amongst yourselves. The PM'd questions from those who see the merit have been replied to.

Ok I am using the bpc stratergy as confirmation, but you guys who are using candlestick patterns to enter, where do you enter? Is it at the open of the following candle after a pin bar, engulfing bar etc.

thanks

Custos, I wonder, how many pips you usually risk per trade? 100? more or less?
I start seeing the reason to let trades run and not to take partial profits actually.
