i learned not to be greedy, if you use a stop loss for 10 pips... take profit at 20 or 30 pips target depending on the fibonacci extensions... cause price retraces some times you can jump in again

That range is out of question. Eu will close red today, there is no hope about Greece. and some insiders already starting placing the shorts.

i close it at 1.0245.
i earned 28+66=94 pips today, not bad.
but i still suck at close the price. for example, i had long for AU at 1.0180 very early today and it slowly moved to 1.0220 so i had 40 pips and i did not close just move stop to b/e then it stopped.
then i wait for a while and it seems 1.0180 is solid so i enter another long at 1.0180, it moved to 1.0216 after half and hour and i decide not close and move stop to b/e then it stopped later on.
so finally, i long two orders at 1.0179 and 1.0182, then when it move to 1.0210 i was thinking if i should close it or wait maybe it will break 1.0220 to go a little bit higher such as 1.0240. then i was thinking, ok, if i close one order now, i can earn 28 pips, if i dont close it now, it might go to 1.0240 so i will earn 58 pips. however, there is another possibility that the price will back to 1.0180 region and stop out it which means i get 0. so i decide to close one order. and as long as i close that order, AU started to jump up break 1.0220 and move to 1.0250...
so everytime when i have some not bad profits for a short-term trade, like 30+ pips, if i decide to move stop b/e, then it will always back to take my stop. but on the other hand, if i decide to take the profit, it will always just move more and more after i take my profits.
i tried to find a strategy for this problem a long time but still dont know how to solve it, can you teach me?
