it's all part of the learning curve until you get comfortable with the strategy... one day you'll just get up and walk away for a coffee and price will get to your target and then you can do it without thinking.. good start to your day

s/l goes below the lowest low as the underlying assumption is that all the weak longs have been cleaned out so it shouldn't go any lower once price has broken back up and closed above the breakdown bar...(hopefully)


long audusd now..small tp, and now looking at .9942 for tp

conventional 123 set-up however if a Vic123 set's up before the tp then may extend the tp target

Can you take a 2B short set-up using a higher high even when at the bottom of a down move?
