Why did you use tighter than that in the first place?
Haven't figured out a MM strategy that I like quite yet but at the moment I prefer to place the stop based on previous market activity rather than a predetermined pip amount

placed the stop over the previous high thinking that even a retrace would not reach this level to maintain a downtrend, usually this holds true but with these particular entires price decided to make a new top before turning around, thus catching my stops

It happens. 50 pips is generally enough though.

hey i'm with you on these trades too

AU @ 1.04803
NU @ 0.81709
EU @ 1.32261
GU @ 1.58622

everything moved to SL+1 when I reached +25 pips. Love the feeling of risk free trading.

thinking about slapping on a trailing stop soon

placed trailing stops of 15 pips for each trade

paying close attention to AU and NU as they were counter trend trades (long but below SMA)



entered new trade AUDJPY long @87.851


NZDJPY looks good too but don't want to over expose myself until I've closed off my other longs.

I miss my foreign broker with better leverage Would be great to stack positions once others have been technically made risk-free by moving SL past entry

  • Mar 20, 2012 9:19pm Mar 20, 2012 9:19pm
AU hit SL, +5 pips

Thinking counter trend trades need to have a bit stricter exit strategy than the trend entries, maybe going by a change in M15 Heiken candle

Starting to wonder if the AJ entry can survive, since rules were met I guess I'll have to wonder while sitting on my hands lol

I'm hoping to share in some of the success today after completely missing your entries yesterday. Currently have following (as of about 02:20 GMT) - Broker Time = GMT +2:00, S/L's originally -50 but moved, Profit in points:

That post was tempting fate - Just got spiked out of USDCAD & AUDUSD. EU followed & USDCHF is not far behind. A few pips up but not much for 6.5 hrs.

hugh,

the reason of au n nu sharp dive yesterday is due to china flash manufacturing data slump for five month in a row...
