hi - i wanna ask u about SL. How far you put it from entry? i still have problems with this..i hate then they crush my SL and go back on profit side of MY trade without me.. btw i trading on 15 min DT.
You should hide it above/higher of any technical level: support/resistance, trend line or any other that would secure it. The number of pips doesn't matter. If it is too far away - lower the position size or skip the plan.

If you buy pick one of the last two lows and put your SL under it. I usually add the spread and +1 pip.
If you sell then do vice versa.

If price goes in your favour then move SL to breakeven when you have +10 or more pips (depends on TF, I use +10 pips BE on M5).
Then trail your position manually or with EA trailer.

Cuurrently looks like we are going to consolidate until the NY session and the jobless claims and the durable goods come out. taht should move the market. Futures are up a little, so I don't expect a huge push up yet. My bias right now is down and then up at the announcement. Will see.

Good to see bull started retracement, let it down and prepare for 1.3060/1.2950 support.

Market is too much long on eurusd and someone took nice profit when looking at the way it came down.
They think they are smarter than I am.

guys, i feel a bit useless again today.. i don't know why i'm getting all so negative.

i watched the breakout and didn't click buy. i don't know what i was waiting for. now this rally high up there, i feel like buying at dip but there's fear again.... sigh

i'm supposed to be a happy trader, now i shall rename myself as nervoustrader
Like i told you earlier mate, you are just scared of losing.
Your way of trading is good...it has nothing to do with your technique/style.
It's purely psychological....take a deep breathe and jump off the plane...with your parachute you'll be safe

Come Happy cheer up mate..

remember the article I posted the other day?

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...62#post5322262

well keep that in mind, and at the moment the numbers in play are:

1.3150 a bounce of this is a BUY a break below a Sell

If you get long watch out for 1.32 and above could easily stall out there or at least consolidate and whip about a little.

Stops the other side of the 1.3150 to your trade.

Don't buy too high and don't sell too low.
thanks for your posts, i've copied it down and will read it every week.
last week some of you kind traders gave me some useful pointers and i make it a habit to read before i make any entry.

so far this week's progress is better than last week, in fact better than any week in my last 1 year of trading.

it's a struggle for me to put discipline before emotions... but it helps and i will endure this until i become constantly profitable.
