I took +24 pips off of Cable. Bounced off of the daily pivot along with all the trimmings. Look at all those red arrows on the dashboard.

I closed at S1, but there could be more pips there.

Hmm I missed your earlier post with the trade. I already took my profit at S1, so I will watch how you play this and maybe learn something.

Hi all, well I took this trade with the cable today around the FF open. Clearly hindsight now shows me that I would of waited for:

1) The London Open, or wait for the London open to settle
2) Wait for the Pivot bounce
3) Wait for the 5min stochastics to be in a better position.

Any additional comments please..

Cheers

You may have made a good choice.....no one ever went broke from taking profit!! Personally I see no need to exit just yet, and I have about +15 locked in, so there's no losing from here on. I'd like to think that S2 is possible, but if I get stopped at +15, so be it!

Hello, Serj!

You opened trade in ten minutes before FO. It's always better to wait for the confirmation of market's opening (of course, you may miss a train sometimes, but..) And, personally, I was expecting a test of DP in this case.
Just my few cents..

Took EU +30 and EJ +32.
My exit for EU was DP, and for EJ round number 120.
But in my opinion, if the matrix is till red, and if the stox are pointing down in oversold with good candles formating, it can still go further.
Maybe my EJ exit was premature?

The GU news sent the price in the right direction, but it's like watching grass grow....most unusual for GU. I will look to exit at 5905 - 5900 unless the price smashes through the round number....which doesn't look likely at this stage. SL at +25 now

Hello, nikz!

RN (especially, big RN - *.*1000, *.*2000 etc.) is a reasonable point for exiting. But, if you want to let your trade run or if you have another target for TP, you can take a note of what I usually do.
If I have an open trade, already in profit and price went up to the round number - I'm starting to watch closely at what price is doing:
1. If price passed through a RN without hesitation with a good move, I will tighten my SL at 4-5 pips above/below RN.
2. If candle closed right on RN or 1-2 pips below/above it (and candle is not a pinbar and not very small), I will tighten my SL at few pips above/below of 50% of the candle.
3. If candle closed right on RN or 1-2 pips below/above it and it's a pin, I will tighten SL above/below pin, or even close it manually (depends on profit amount and my mood ).
You can also find an examples below.

Sometimes it works well, sometimes it doesn't, but in general it's working pretty well for me personally.
Hope it helps.

P.S. Please take a note that I'm using this method only when I'm in good profit already, because if you get out from trades too soon and very often - it's not good for your MM.

Great! Thank you for your advices and examples, your post goes to my notebook

Do you think the same logic goes for HA candles?

I personally don't like HA and don't use them. But, you can try to use similar method with HA, of course (except candlestick formation, because you don't see it on HA).
