A trade from a little earlier - EA. Reasons for entry : M5 & m15 stochs coming from OB Test / rejection of DP (had crossed it a little but never really broke through) With trend which overall has been down for day so far Lots and lots of room down to S1Risks : No major risks identifiedOutcome : Automated exit that happened earlier than I would've liked ... trade manager moved the stop down, at which point the price moved up just enough to hit the stop, then carried on downwards ... doh! Out at +16, could've been at +40 by now, one of those things....
I'm not sure about those trade manager thingees......I like to manage my own trades, but I guess we're all different

Good trade antantnz, but didn't the next bar after entry scare the pageezas out of you?? Would have me worried, but with the stop above the last swing high - all good!!
Pipmonster, there is a great lesson, ant would have complete confidence is the strength of the entry signal and stochs, and not faked out by PA going against his trade, initially.
I am a fallible imperfect person; so I must be a fallible imperfect trader.

And it probably helped a little not wanting to be saying that I'd manually exited too early again!!

1 pip at a time ... if the entries are strong, the rest will follow ...

In this incarnation I'm not too sure either ... I did use them a lot in the past with another system and they were quite handy but you do need to get the settings just right otherwise you're leaving too much on the table. At the moment though, with a 10 week old baby in the house that can distract you without warning, it's good to have a backstop just in case!
Ahhh I see.......I have a cat and 3 fish instead!!!

{quote} euro trade -- Had tight stop with small lot, moved to BE and target hit already of course! I knew something was up but didn't know when. Mite just have a coffee and hit the hay! A tricky nights trading for me but lessons learnt and profit made. Slowly slowly wins the race.

Hi all
Managed to pinch +50 on EJ. Would have been better off selling EU or EA, but EJ's setup was somewhat more convincing with three clear rejections of the pivot.

mind over matter
