{quote} Hi RJ, great thread. Do you ever consider a partial exit? Take half off at your 27 pips and let the other half run?
You certainly could do that, I never do though. No reason for it, I just don't do it!

{quote} Thanks for the advice, I try to do just that and avoid checking my profit in $$ at all cost, but sometimes its stronger than me. I'm struggling with the part where I have to trail my SL to b/e+1 when I'm in a CT trade, or I'm scalping a quick 10-15 pips right below a resistance/above a support. If I move it too soon, its bound to get hit, if I dont move it at all... well I have had this happen to me in the past, be in a decent profit, target missed by 1 pip and move reverses until my 5 pips SL and a winner turns into a loser for no reason....
I think you know the answer to your dilemma.....don't counter trend trade! I know that I do it sometimes, but honestly, it's not that often. I'm more likely to sit out the CT and wait for the trend to resume. I'd rather take 1 trade in a day and have that one trade give me 50 pips or more, than have 7 trades that give me 50 pips.....including 2 losers, 4 BE's and I winner!!

Yeah, I did see that answer coming I don't do it often either, just that when I see an unobstructed path to the next S or R, a cheap SL and some momentum it feels okay to go CT.

Try this then......don't CT until you have made profit on the day already....hopefully with a 'normal' trade. Then, if you must CT, only risk todays winnings, and no more. That way, if it all turns to shit, you are no worse off than when you got out of bed on that day. If you don't already have profit today, then CT trades are not allowed!

{quote} Really?...are you sure? Many people use them and I would be surprised if there was no demo account available to USA residents. You may well be right, but it seems very strange...
Oops you're correct. I tried again and successfully opened a demo account at FxPro. The other day I tried a different link and was asked for country and United States was not listed.

Congrats!

And yeah, shoulda woulda coulda... I'm getting there, slowly soon I'll have built enough profit not to care about SL anymore, and that's slowly making me more and more confident.

You always should care about SL. You will get petitions with a time. We all have been exited about trades and had mistakes. But when time will pass it is another day

{quote} Nice trade, RJ.
Thanks. That is the sort of trade I look for, and I can wait as long as it takes for one to turn up....and on the 10 pairs I watch, one or more is probably going to turn up every day, and when it does, I'll be waiting for it. If nothing turns up, so be it! Many time I see people (not you) that seem to feel compelled to be in a trade because they are sitting at their desk, the market is open, and they *want* to trade.......even when there is no HPT on offer.

As I've said many times, if there is a 'holy grail' to trading, it must surely be "patience."
