Short EU 1.44757

BE already entered on this looking to hold bit longer target than I normally would but using BE to protect it.

Once BE is in cant go wrong either way.

AUDNZD 4 hourly update.

This one is looking ok so far +70 pips in profit. Looking at potentially getting a BE in on this one soon also.

Just about reached TP levels.

Closing out +60 Pips.

Sometimes near enough is close enough... especially when you are taking entry on a M5 Chart...

I agree. looks like longs, but I won't touch it. This is the worst range I've seen on e/u.I'm out of my a/nz shorts for BE and closed my e/c longs for a small profit. Pretty much sitting on my hands for now.

Hi guys,

Ya it certainly does look this way. Just loaded up the charts for the day. My AUDNZD short was hit for BE.

Another half hour ish before close of current 4 hour bar then I will check those out. Daily charts pretty much a lot of sideways action at the moment.

Hi guys,

I am a bit late onto the charts tonight as had a few things I had to take care of.

Bit of movement on the EU 5 min charts. Not a whole lot of things going on with the longer term charts though..... Well unless you managed to get onto GU short.

Hi nba,

Yes this is always the dilema and not one that cant easily be answered as it is a personal choice. At the very least make sure that you have BE entered to ensure that a winning position does not become a losing position.

If you do want to lock in some pips rather than giving it back you could always enter a trailing position at x amount of pips away from the market.

The current 4 hourly chart may give an indication of where stop placement could potentially be moved down to.

The dilema always is "what if I move my stop down it gets hit and it continues to move in my favour". OHHHH that wonderful emotion of greed. It may very well go in your favour by another x amount of pips until you then face the next move down and wether to take profit or move you stop.

The swing points are usually the best areas to place your stops or at obvious horizontal levels. Now that is not going to happen on the daily for a good few days if it does pan out your way, or simply use the 4 hourly swing areas as your trailing stops.
