Im looking at my trade history, I must have caused myself to get stopped out when I was messing around with the stop loss...I was moving the red line with the mouse (Oanda lets you do that directly on the chart), and I must have moved it too much, trying to inch my way to break even...DAMMIT!! lol

From here on out, I am not going to move to BE until I am at least +2 pips in profit.

entry price 1,30686 with 7 pip SL
no liquid market, high spreads
so, more Sl with less amount of units = the same 2% risk per trade

Ah, ok I see, but isnt your payoff reduced (although I can tell that your chances of a loss are cut in half)?

Hey guys are you using a 2 pip SL, or a 2 pip + spread SL? I can't imagine it does not include the spread, but it's often very small at that time of day I have to ask to be sure. Thanks!

Lately I tried to use 3 pips total, about 1.7 set in the trade tab. When I had 0.8 before I felt it was way too short. I am trailing it about every 1/2 pip, depending how fast it moves. I have been watching the ask price at the open (NYO for now, 8:00:01 EST, call it open price, OP) then calculate +2 and -2 from that price, as I see price for example going up, press buy, prepare to submit, enter at the OP+2; if price instead swings down before touching OP+2, select sell, enter at OP-2. There are no 8 pips or 5 sec candles involved (sorry for too many details, but there were some misunderstandings from other traders).
Today I got -2 (SL hit) at NYO .
r u ready?

Thanks, rtrs. Sounds like approx. 2 + spread. That's a good entry plan. When I get to my backtesting I'll use 2 + spread and see how that looks.
