this is a excellent way to add more... btw. its similar to my method,see how my sl looks like now...
second position should be moved to b.e after moving around 20-25 pips in the direction..
so you now might have two positions both locked at break even..
Another thing about the method is I try to slow down to open a new position or in this case to add more position when 4 hr candle is ending soon..
The reason for that is that there is usually a pullback at the beginning of a new 4hr candle.
We don't want to deal with pullbacks when we open/add a trade..
Pullbacks should be already passed by the time we make our entry

Nomask, wonderful great trading plan. Been following for a few days now and like what I see.

Just one thing I missed on the last e/u trade. I waited for the candle on 4hr to close at 1.35473 which was bearish, so had to wait for a bullish candle, this had a move of over 140 pips. On this candle I placed my fib, went down 15 min chart to wait for entry, this had a breakout of the high. Now I'm in the trade with stop 1.3664. Is this right or should I have taken the bearish candle close as it did have a bit of a shadow but not a pinbar on my chart

Well that been a long 140 pip bar did have me stopped out on pullback just like you said on last post. So would I now wait for another entry?

I never trail my stop...
In the long run it cost more than just letting them die at break even..

Hello nomask.

Always liked your clean charts from millipede thread. Congratulations on your new thread.

Just wanted to clarify for my understanding.
The chart in post 70: is the fib drawn on a completed 4 hr candle? May be my brokers bar times are different.

Thanks and best of luck

hey people, look at that!
Nice entry Sam, I got in at 3560 but yours is so cool!

-----

I've been used to 90-100 pip targets in the past, it's SOOOO really tough not closing out this baby

Nomask, any logical way to move stop to BE or do you just do it when there is a move of 30 pips in your favour?

It depends on the setup..
I try to move it based on a reason but sometimes I just move it to b.e after 20-30 pips...
because even after coming back and hunting my position at break even it usually gives me another setup if the price still wants to move in my direction.

Thanks.

I recognized which 4 hr candle you were drawing the fib. But I still think it was not drawn on the complete range of that 4 hr candle.

When I did, the PA happened at 68% level.

Anyway, didn't mean to bug you with the same stuff.

Thanks again
