in my case all missed

Why Not Pending Limit Orders:
When trading with pending orders you should spray n number of trades with small gaps to guarantee your entry & not damn for 1 pip miss.
But.......
The issue is;
When MKT is your direction you probably will miss some of them so your entry will be eg... with %50 planned risk.
No problem. Profit is Profit.
On the other hand when MKT is against you it will trigger your all pending orders & then most probably will stop out all.
So in that situaiton your loss will be %100 risk planned.
Roughly
Win %50
Loss %100
Better to wait & trade with MKT order manually.

happend often to me, in the last time i subtract or add ~2pips to my goal to prevent from missing.
No round numers like 3100 always 3098 or 3102...
Yep. I also started to do that after i got missed like that nearly 10 times in 1 week. All my pendings, sl's and Tp's are with +/- 3 pips now.
