I would feel more positive if 1.5800 broken though.
Still in this Cable trade with trailing stop of 27 pips (the original risk). Stop now moved to 15811 locking in 27 pips profit on my second half of trade.

Ric if you are in the short from the 1hr KRC then welldone. do you not have a target? as this move has went well over 60pips, that's like 2/3rds of the days ADR. personnal that would have done me for a 1hr trade.

Thanks for info and advice-I'm trying to cure myself of a bad trading fault (one of many!) of taking profits far too early. I thought I would set a trailing stop on my platform (IG Index) and see where it takes me on this occasion.

Yeah we all know that and Kraven says as much too. The thing here is not so much the type of stick, only one that turns the opposite colour to the trend and at the Top or Bottom (of course we don't know if it's a reversal yet). Entry is at the breakout of the signal candle, stop above/below. So this process is KRC.

It can be used on pull backs and re-entries too.

It's just another method. And as I said Kraven doesn't really lay claim to it as such.

I don't think he even named it.

Cheers

Hi Kraven, this is my first ever post on FF I joined just to participate in your thread, thank you for starting this really simple trading system. By the way I am also in the UK London actually. I work full time so am really only looking at the daily charts.

Kraven - would you kindly tell me how to get that KRC on the chart. I understood it was an EA rather than an indi and I have absolutely no experience with EA's. Thx.

Mike
