Hi guys, this trade i took just 4 hours after Week Start of my Broker
yesterday, around 01:19 AM London Time.
I just wanted to trade the reversal, but hey, i am still holding it now.
Just to show how important it is to let them run once in a while.
400+Pips in profit.

Thats my problem - I cant let them run - I cant sleep if I have any running.
Even though I make money - about 10% a week I do like 30 small trades a day. I have become an expert in small pivotes reading the candles and parterns - exception this week being the YEN 300 pips.

Looking back at my trades which 80% are profitable - what advise could you give me to be able to leave them to run - I have back tested these and many would run into mega profit if I only let them run?

Try closing partially, and then let other part run.

Hi Matt

Just a few things that may give you some pointers or this is how i
try to do it. When trading this pair, it is a lot simpler to let a short trade as a runner. Why? It is more likely that something bad happens, then something extremely good.

When i am into profit, and trade goes in my way i put stop to break even.
That sometimes happens quickly, and sometimes stops me out too soon.
No big deal. If you go in with size, then this is the way to do it.

Once you have a trade running, you don't know how far it is gonna go.
What i do then, is i don't see the money, i try totally to forget the trade
and trail it or lock in some profit, then i just let it run till its bloody exhausted.

Kiss your money goodbye, clear your mind.
Focus on razor sharp entries and let the market decide how far it is
gonna go.

Thanks - its a mental thing.

I can let it ride in the negatove to come back into profit but I always take profit at like 10-20pips - and then enter another trade if still going my way - this looses me spread and distance.

I am playing gerneally with £1 or £2 per pip depending on how keen I think my move is. It is hard work doing so many trades and cencentrating.

I have £8k in my account and do make on average 10% per week...

Sorry I meant £1/£2 per point so thats £10/£20 per pip

TP2 : 1.3600
TP3 : 1.3570

The pair still far from MA 200 & MA 55 and BreaK 50.0 Fibo H4

Good Luck for all traders,

Just know 1 thing.

You already have the hardest part nailed, the ENTRY.
The rest is soo easy really. This trade i showed in the chart normally was
good for maybe $250, but i let it run after i had some price between me.
Now that "small" trade has become a pretty fat $2501 position and is
still running.

i know that price auction traders do not like indi but i am a very very lazy guy and those few indicators (3 MA ribbon + 2 MACD + RSI + 2 CCI) provide me a sharp desision making permiting me to live from my trading confortably even with less than 1000 usd as starting capital it make 1 year that trading is my sole source of income that s why i consider the the amount of indi doesn't matter the only thing that matter is the money / effort ratio .

after i do not know if the indis are just sophisticated Anxiolytics the only thing i am sure is that i am not a talented guy .

pips made while i slept. somehow i always wake up on a good mood these days LOL

flat now. the way i read it it could go both ways now. we stopped at cam l4 and i don't thinkg we will go above l3, but that's guessing. as i write i am considering a long scalp here. will post if setup comes. up 1.3760. then short again. both if signals pop.

if your quick and short trades work for you. Then stick with it! It doesn't matter how far you let it run, what counts is making profits. One has to trade one off. Either a higher win ratio or higher reward ratio. You can't take both.
Don't just beat the markets, leave bruises.
