Hi

I know that trade management is a hot topic and may have been answered several times. I address it anyway as it seems to me that I lack it big time. I will reapproch in myself as many times as I get it.

So when you identify a set up, also note the potential "trouble areas". You set your SL, say just beyond the pin bar. Let us say the risk is 1-2 % of the capital in case the SL gets hit.

So what do you do than? (Sorry that I am asking this, again this is my weakness as I was able to be up many pips but I do not seem to be taking profits...)
Do you pull to BE at first trouble area?
Do you pull to BE after some 30 pips in profit risking being stoped out but no loss at all?
Do you take partial profit at first trouble area?
Do you leave the rest for either big gain or BE?

Could you, fellow trader with consistant profit, outline some ideas regarding same? Or even direct me to a good source of information or discussion of this?

I appreceate your time!

For example: I am long EU at 36104 but do not really know what to do with it. Only honesty coming from me. I have now idea. It is 476 pips up, nice run and I may as well just leave it to do further or die. But obviously I can not do this with all my positions or it did not work until now.
Kind Regards zol

Hey Zol

As each trade is situational for me it's hard to be anything but more general. Here is a more general idea of how I at least approach trade mgmt

Hey Brighty

James has been taking some time to recharge the last few months, so he probably has just not seen it. His email is [email protected] though just for reference.

My recommendation though is not to go strapping yourself. Hang on to your money and hang out here. There is a wealth of info. It may take you longer to go through but don't go strapping yourself for cash and put yourself in a bind. Hang out here ask questions and we have a ton of people who love to help

Take care

I have also been eyeing this for while. Would love to see a pullback on the daily, then a nice bearish PA then go short.

Fingers crossed!

Cheers

Two nice areas to watch TL, let's see what happens

So it is...
BTW, on the chart below if one is considering taking the BUOB -where in your opinion the FTA is ? The top or bottom S/R?
fundies or not, u can simply focus on PA.

tricky question & tricky chart.
top or bottom S/R ---- u referring to the 2 pink(?) horizontal lines?

looking exclusively at your chart.
that first pink line @ 42.20area looks like a trouble area. u can try & enter a BUOB break (entry above the first pink line). then u have the 2nd pink line to contend with.

i have never traded stocks, so others (like Sir aserbfx) might have better perspectives.

Let's try to catch an upside breakout with a buystop placed above the last 2 daily candles, we don't want to short this pair if another BOJ intervention is in the making, so no sellstops this time. Price alert set. Have a nice day.
Looks like your trade plan is working out , ts. . .nice.

The Support level at the 80.65 was holding up strong. A bar Close below this level would have be telling with an eye at the 80.00 BRN.

The 82.00 should be interesting to watch.

This might be a good story to "read".!!!Some inside bars on daily also.
Yeah this is a similar story as the Usd/Jpy . . Double Inside bar. That's what I was looking for the Usd/Jpy to do . .break to the BRN, which the Usd/Chf did to 90.00. . . the 80.00 BRN on the Jpy.

You can see why Mike doesn't trade into BRNs . . its better to WAIT until Price gets to the BRN and then see what story unfolds.

This BUOB may not have been big enough for some to take but it is interesting to note where it formed. At a BRN 90.00 and its low hit the Lowest Close of Support of the Swing Low.

BUT， not too bad。 because ,this is magic forex .

Its not forex magic, gentiustc. It an understanding of Support and Resistance with some required confluence be it only a trendline. The 4 hour had a bit more confluence at the .8650 as well.

Well done sir. . . .

You have got some good areas mapped out there zoli. I would wait until Price gets to the 1.4000 BRN on the Euro and see what develops there. The Cad/Chf level looks real good too.

The PB on the 4 Hour is to small for me but it is a valid location. A better location would be at the 1.4000 BRN and the 50% ret. level would also be deeper.

I would wait and see what london brings about.

Hi all,

Any comments on this PBT/CA? It looks like a good bullish pattern but failed. I couldn't find a helpful thread on this price break through pattern. Can any one show me some tutorials? Thanks!
Yes, this was a good level to look for bullish PA once Price Broke Through and Close Above the Highest Close of Resistance at the 1.6325.

Price came back a didn't hold as Support and then PBT&CBelow. ..we would then look for this area to now act as Resistance. But Price was on a tear last week.

We can look at the lower time frames and see if there are other confluences and/or PA that fits into these levels.

You can see back at the beginning of the Month, there was a similar setup on the Daily. On the 4 hour, a BUOB formed at this level . .the target was close but it was hit nicely.

buob in continuation with the main trend.
ymm h4.

These are great when the Outside Bar engulfs the total consolidation area and closes above (or below) no matter what the time frame, the higher the time frame the better of course. . No surprise why that PB didn't break.

These are A+ setups to me . ..
