no, I just trail with stop loss. Remember I was taking partial profits,m but it doe snot work unless I am a freaking genius. start taking partials and then when losses come those partial winners do not cover full size losses. btw, I came to conclusion and i am not going to leave as many pips on the table as I did in September. been almost +800 pips on e/u and got only 500. generally, when some extremely strong move happens and price is far away from ma's and hanging above under them it is better to take the money or set tight stop, cause probability...

Frankly, you should not do it.
Just take the loss. Small loss easy to trade back and make more.
averaging can really hurt.

I am short same position and just opened eur/nzd short. speculation but on daily it is a good place to take speculative short. downside is huge and the pair is in huge down trend. funny, but on weekly chart e/u according to my strategy gives strong long signal. I do not trade from weekly chart, but it is interesting.

I am mostly thinking how to pyramid adding to winner. as I see it additions should be smaller than first trade and first trade profits should be used to fund additions. I know one guy who is doing it successfully but he has got a method.

actually the guy who is doing this enter the big one first and if trade goes well into profit he adds on pull backs a bit. smaller sizes.

Fib channels have worked pretty good so far. Quite new thing to me, but will keep practicing with them.
