spammer, spammer... somebody ban her/him, please.

TO (Tokyo open) EJ short 10+ pips (conservatively but could've been 20+). Past / off of H1 10ema (a little before TO), past broken support a little below it, past broken round number 129.00, past (with momentum) 800ema. 3 trades total. Of course, pips were lost because of the spread. I don't feel comfortable holding positions for longer yet. Scalping right now.

Does my style make sense, guys?

Please give some pointers. I also would like jordfx to answer my questions in my previous post if he / she is so kind to do so.

Thank you!

A QUESTION TO jordfx: You take all these big profit trades. How long do you keep your positions on average (note: on average)? What do you mean by "50%" - is that 50% of the big swing you are trading? Thank you for your attention as always!
1. I've learned to keep my positions open for as long as the setup that got me into the trade remains valid and my target achieved.
2. I mean 50% of open positions on that pair. Taking some pips/money off the table.

{quote} Please jordfx , tell me where was ur stoploss here. if u dont mind.
Hey buddy, High volume doji right at Asia low/ Daily Open price(NY close), any movements below that point was suspiciously stophunting especially when it was at lower volume levels and just before LO. In any case my target was April High at 200pips, so I put my emergency stop at 50pips. A 1:4 trade. Just adjusted position size to keep my risk profile consistent that's all. Mind you like I always say....True risk is not in stop placements(that's just for emergencies in my opinion), real risk is in not knowing what you're doing. You can have a 200pip stop loss and always keep getting stopped out if you're clueless!
That being said....as far as this threads strategy is concerned, most of Arjun's entry trades target 10 - 15pips with stops at typically 10pips, because by the time these setups occur, the stop hunting period is typically over. That's why they are so safe, even though most of the move is probably almost over by then. Trade safe.

With Arjun Entries, 10 - 15pips is very easily high probability. But with volatile pairs like EJ, 10pip stops will usually not cut it most times without you keep getting stopped out first and then price proceeding to move in your favor. Ideally your EMERGENCY stop on that entry should have at least been above the high of the previous candle(before the entry candle), about 15pips really if you consider the action of the 50ema. H1 200ema would have made for a high probabilty target for 20pips.

Ok...that was a classical example of what I was talking about using small stops on volatile pairs. They'll take out those small stops and then price will proceed in your trade direction! The very next candle after your entry candle went 30pips in your favour. Though truth be told you shouldn't even be looking to sell in this price zone. Look at 4HTF. Moreover you seem to be ignoring your TDI cross?

That's one the biggest challenges in making money in trading. Overcoming fear. What helps is proper position sizing and risk management, so that even if the trade turns out to be a loser(...and some will!), it won't hurt your equity or morale.

Have a look at EJ yesterday, how easier than that?

2 short signals following this system i.e. short below the EMA and when TDI is crossing
exit when 20pips or price pulls back

I marked the entry and exit using yellow thumbs on the screenshot, 90 pips in total, if 1 lot = $900

TO EJ Short 2 trades: Off of broken support closed at RN, then off of RN, closed at channel line. Took small PIPS. This is a micro account and the spread is not very good. I guess an ECN/mini+ account could have taken 10+ PIPs.
