Went short EURUSD at 1.3070 once it broke through a strong Fractal support level...still in the trade at around 32 pips profit so far. Will remain in the trade as I kind of expect the Euro to continue a downward move until Spain asks for a bailout. Plus, price hasn't broken through my 5EMA shift 3 top loss trigger 
On a side note, if you have a bit of spare cash, buy "Hedge Fund Market Wizards". It's hands down the best trading book I ever read. Not because it tells you about systems, but because some of the greats talk about their "attitude" towards trading. Changed how I think about trading a lot, and it's probably the single book that improved my trading the most. Also made me not worry about losses anymore.
Hilarious how some of the big players used to suuuuuuuuuuuuuck when they started out. The book is a great way to learn from their mistakes, and it provides hints and tips too.

You meant Shift 2, isn it ?

Agree on period 5 moving averages though...what do you use your 5 SMA for?
By the way, I wouldn't be surprised if the EURUSD retraces all the way back to 1.2950...or close to it.
As for stop losses in general, some guy just offered to create an EA for me that sets the stop loss to the low point of the candle body of the previous HA candle when going long, and the high point of it when going short. Did some test and it seems to work really well.
Will run some side by side tests once I get it

Nope, using the 5 EMA shift 3 because it doesn't kick me out of moves as quickly.
Depends what TF, i think.. I like Shift 2 more in M1 M5..

As a amplifier for the Thv Sinnals. Easy SL and also for as a entry..
If Trix and HA confirms..

Lets have a look at H4/D1. From now. With Thv..
With Fib. Pivs..
As for stop losses in general, some guy just offered to create...
NO EA can follow you 1 to 1 even 1 to 80%, successfully
as a nice manual M1-M5 scalp system. Point.
Done some EA tests with my system. Disappointing..
Nothing is faster as a Human Brain. F--k EAs
Or the programmer, and you, are at God mode
then maybe.
But why a Ea if you can handle it manually.
And have fun.
What is all about..
Having fun.
And being right..
And colecting pips.
By my self..
And the knowledge you have..

I need an automatic stop loss because I have a fulltime job 
The 5 EMA shift 3 works well on the H1 timeframe. I took some trades on the M15 using the same system a while back and it worked too, but my sample size is way too small compared to H1.
Looking at my last few trades using that Heiken Ashi stop loss EA works a bit better than the 5 EMA shift 3 (or shift 2 for that matter). You could of course do it manually.
PS: Still working on god mode

"because I have a fulltime job"
Me not, thankfully
"The 5 EMA shift 3 works well on the H1 time frame."
Amazing, ALSO IN M1 OR M5 Or Daily.
"PS: Still working on god mode"
Me too, close to it, but still dont have it..

I'm long USD and short EUR/GBP/AUD/CHF today, up 46pips so far, happy days
By the way, if you're too lazy to figure out how fundamentals might influence your trades, check out the Open Interest rate. It tells you how the "smart money" invests, and does a decent job at giving you hints about when they start buying/selling. This is obviously only useful for H1 and above.

Got out of all trades because I'm happy with today's profit of 85 pips
Should have gotten out when I was up 110pips, a $1k day would have rocked...but I learned not to be greedy, the market punishes you if you are

Dammit!! Generally the Asian session consists mostly of consolidation phases, but it seems there were some beautiful moves going on over night this time 
On the H1 charts price broke through the coral in EURUSD yesterday, then retraced back towards it during the late afternoon and evening...just to then crash again at night. Wish I didn't have to sleep
