Okay either only 1:1 leverage or are you happy with RR profile of 2:1 if you know the stop almost never gets hit?

If you are targeting 100 pips where does your mental stop go (obviously near s/r but typically how many pips)?

Curious!
It is SO rare (and I hate it when I'm that accurate) that I'm in only one trade. I never really have "set" targets (other than partials that I pull out). I generally try to swim against the tide (get short as it moves up) on an intraday basis, while sticking with a longterm trend (EA == down). When that trend starts to reverse, I start swimming against the tide in the other direction...get long as price falls.

Not the easiest/least stressful (perhaps) of methods, but it works for me. Pull my partials...buy or sell my way into my next position. When I can capitalize...I do so...quick and leveraged. Float, float...POUNCE! That's my forex motto, I guess. 100 pips concerns me no more than 300 does...or 30, for that matter. All depends on where in the float/pounce cycle the market is, and if I'm in sync with it.

Maybe not the easiest thing to explain, but most of my charts show what I'm up to.

Ever the gentleman...and scholar, sisse.

A few special people around here that make any work involved time well spent.

Always a pleasure, my friend. Looking forward to a little more meat, and less filler, as the fall session comes about.

Cheers.

hello bro. how your EA trade ?
Wearing thin, brother! Positive swaps are MUCH better when you're several hundred in the green!

Lot sizes are small on what I hold because I'm busy elsewhere this week, but I'd love to just wipe the slate and fold the lot. My Buy is now +317...should've picked up a few more of those!

Always tough when a (potential) reversal forms. Been paid handsomely so far...will find a way to transition into what comes next on it.

You banking a few?

Yeah this thing needs to come down a bit (28.40 looks nice), kind of like another market I know.

cough EA cough

Worries me though, the offers aren't until 1990/00 according to forexlive, although the order book doesn't always act act as a magnet.

close an h below 2462 and it probably will turn bearish eu.. or a close below 2465, then break 62 and it could also run with a LL 2415 would be indicated. ..in the st..w/o this.. we are on support 2463.. and 2505 is still a target.. and st 2508.. oil still has not hit 99.xx. if we drop w/o hitting 2505 i will look to L 2317 till 22xx posted yesterday. when it looks like it will bounce.

thanks for nothing

Just for you bro..

DX is tricky bro.. can go as a bull flag, bear flag but also a H&S too... let me get one chart

what's worrying me is that huge bearish divergence on weekly... and overpowering everything.. Daily has it too.. from here we can easy move higher or lower.. not really clear.. what is clear is weekly, but need few weeks/months to develop.. so far daily follows, and when we see 4h and 1h signal.. we might see the drop..
