I'm using a Mac and trading using parralles and I can't find the tpl file to up load it, adjust the indicators to how you want them to appear that's what I did.

The Murry Math indicator needs to be set to P64 and Stepback0, you can do this in INPUTS.

I'm not seeing any clear direction in the market at Frankfurt or London open, at the moment, and find it much better to allow the market to clearly define what it wants to do before looking for trades.

The short trade was taken at 11.20 GMT, you often find the market reluctant to go higher after a bullish run up (and vies versa) around this time because Frankfurt and London don't want to commit to new positions before New York shows their hand.

This shows why I use Muury Math Lines to help with areas of resistance and support. I was waiting for this level to be hit to see the reaction, with the next bar being bearish I went short and targeted the previous support.

Hi Nanitoide,

How big was your SL? I see your entries where good but don't you move your SL to BE when the market has moved the length of your SL? You where up about 25+ pips on both trades when they reversed on you and went negative just something to think about.

Personally I would have exited at first support level and then looked to get back in if the set up occured.

Hi, stevepatt.
No correction. So it can be.

My initial stop for first position was 15 pips. After I removed the stop order. It's confusing, right?
It was my plan.
I looked at the price. I watched the momentum. He was bearish.
It was a false bullish breakout. Put yourself in the shoes of the investor. Retail traders need a stop loss. Investors do not need stop loss orders.
If I put a short stop-loss, then it would be knocked out.
I was looking for candles, which were formed after the break. If the price was fixed and established a new high. Then I would have walked out. Would close the loss-making positions.
I moved two positions to breakeven when the price reached the zone demand.
Then price has gone even lower. She went to the next zone of demand. Here I closed the positions.

p.s. sorry for my english.

Hi, Gravi.
And so what?
They have big lots. I have a micro.

You must understand the psychology of the investor, then you can see them.

Hi Steve,

I wonder whether it is your favorite set up or not?
I don't use Murray Math line. Just swing low, swing high and momentum.

Hi Simplicity,

I do like that set up where short term resistance turns to support for long trades.

I started using MMLs about 6 months ago and find the market keeps returning to same areas time after time, like the EU chart from yesterday when the market spiked up to hit the line spot on before turning around it gives me levels to be aware of the higher the TF the better.

It seems MMLs work well for you. I have some questions:
1. Where should we put our SL? Should we put SL above/below momentum bar or above/below swing high/swing low?
2. Do you consider Risk:Reward ratio before enter the trade?

Hey nani, i'm agree with Gravi. If you move your stop biger and bigger, one day or another, you will burn out your account, sure.

Don't let your stop become bigger and bigger. It's too dangerous;

Protect your capital first, move your stop at BE fastly and take some profit fastly.

Nobody knows how many pips he can do after his entry. The only thing you can master is how you manage your trade. Nobody knows where the market will go, NOBODY.

I have notice daytrading after daytrading that you must take what market give you. It turns so often.

Have an edge(momentum, HH, HL, pattern...) and play your edge.

Take some pips on a part of your position and trail your stop to BE. Maybe after the market will go against you, maybe it will be a homerun, no matter.

If it goes against you, you have some pips in the bank, and if it is a homerun, you have a part of your position in for big profits: it's all in trade management. The less stoploss, the better. Profit must be manage at the best, but came after;

Work on that buddies.

Hi Simplicity,

I trade mainly off 5m charts and I like to place my SL above the momentum bar but with a maximum SL of 20 pips.
I like to see at least a TP of 1:1, preferably 2:1, before resistance or support.

The trade I just took was entering too late after the initial move, which came after an high impact news release, just didn't quite reach +20 pips stopped spot on another MML.
