to be safe lock your profit to SL+1 when you get 10 pips or if you can see reversal close it manually without waiting TP
thanks for your advice mates

Hello shanex, how was trading today?
Hey iak, sorry for not responding, I was on the thread briefly. In response to your question, trading was good according to my MM. Took 2% for the day, and then I'm done. The pain of turning winners into losers has taken its toll on me. As for opportunities trading the MA trendline strategy, there were plenty. Still working at it though, trying to refine entries and exits. Will let you know of anything new. The MA's and trendline is core not changing that, its a brilliant idea. Oh, I like the MM the universe forced you into.

Hi Iak,
Thank you for sharing this very simple and efficient system.
You recommend to use RSI 9. On my platform the default parameters of rsi are:
median price (hl/2).
Are these the same as yours?
IMHO it's seem possible to apply your system to other pairs likeŁ/$, €/Yen or aussie/$.
Regards

Hi jeff75, I use oanda java platform and do not know the parameters of the rsi. I simply change the period from 14 to 9. i would suggest setting it up as you believe and then maybe comparing it to my posted charts? it doesnt matter too much as you can trade this without it. its just there to give you a picture of what is likely to happen. i only really use rsi when i am trailing my 2nd lot to see where i should end the trade. I think you are right that this wld prob. work on other pairs. feel free to post about any pair. i do not mind what is posted if it is helpfull.

##Trade not gone well. ma's have crossed the opposite way to our trade which voids this trade. I have moved my stoploss down very tight just incase i get some luck.

###out of trade for-13pips. we had a cross of ma's in opposite direction then a bounce off of support 1. At this point i cld have stopped trade for about -8-10 pips but instead lowered stoploss just incase it suddenly dropped. you never know in forex. oh well, not too painfull. we now look for long set ups.

I took a poor entry. The price retraced too far really but the ma's were still on my side which is why i took trade. as soon as i entered the ma's crossed to the opposite signal. hopefully i will be ok.

##moved to break even to protect against poor entry
###Out @ BE. no damage done.

It might still get back to upper triangle resistance and you have a chance to close the order
