I've tried that in the past, it doesn't work.
It can only work with extremely low leverage, and yes than it always works but your profits will be minimal.

The only way to trade profitably in my eyes is that you look for en entry point with an identified stop, and then you can enter for the profit you see on the charts.
And my idea for risk/return is that R:R should always be greater than 1.
I have traded a long time with no sl in the past, but because of money management I didn't get in problems.
But I have found out that sl's make trading much easier and take less sleepless nights.
The only thing you have to refine for yourself is where to enter and where to place your sl.
If you can control your losses, don't worry about the profits, they come automatically.

i think it wants to go back to 1.2935.

the sell-off we saw before seems to be just a one-off
we are currently at yesterday's levels

Yes, I've tried trading without a stop loss before as well. It works in a ranging market but at some stage you will go in to a big draw down. And then you're out of the game until the market returns to your position.

In my experiment with trading without a stop loss I was waiting for 7 months for the trade to come good. I missed so many trades in those 7 months, just sat there waiting. I would have been so much better off if I'd had a stop loss, and then carried on trading in those 7 months.

The only way trading without a stop loss is feasible is with a substantial trading bank, or low leverage. If you have a substantial trading bank and risk it all with no stop loss you're in danger of a black swan event knocking you out of the game (and they do happen).

Don't do it - it's very stressful. Trading with good money management will be better in the long run.

We are still inside the descending channel, anything between 1.2972 and 1.2850 is perfectly legal, without calling it a break...

I would like it to go south to 1.2850 (perhaps after climbing to the top of the channel first, which might be hapenning right now)...

Daily pivots are so close to another this morning. I have to make an exceptation to my fib calculation... Yet two trades and two wins. Looks like we will be on the heavy red side today. Anyone got a maxy pad?

1,286x will be decisive though for a move back up.

Nice rising channel has developed on M15 TF. Already scalped a long then a short and now in at 07 TP 25 SL 97. Posting this while managing a scalp ain't nice!

Edit: Apols typo - 5M TF of course!

Angus

Same PA as yesterday during NY...so boring inside 1,29s
