{quote} No but short on eurjpy. BE hit earlier with euro news, just re-entered. Also short on nzdusd. Negative at the moment, but that was a great pin bar yesterday. So, what do you reckon? {image} {image}
Looks good, although if your stop is hit, it looks like it could immediately reverse and move back down

Still in this usdjpy long, widened the stop before usd news release.

Going north . Eurjpy is neurotic. Re. nzdusd, pin bars like that are virtually dead certs - that has to come back down!!

Your usdjpy long - did you trade off the spike that happened on 7th Feb?

I'd have had my stop loss just above that wick which is right after that green candle you sold from, with my target equal in pips, r:r of 1:1

edit - are you still in your nzdusd short?

BE hit.
nzdusd SL hit. Looks like it might be reversing now but I have vowed I would never move my stops...

Anyways, what do you reckon on this on the weekly? Big fat number and high going back to 2011??

Looks good although I'd most likely go for 1:1 or 1:2 as I find the bigger moves are harder to get, I prefer to catch the temporary bounces away from an area and then close for a profit.

Just entered long on gbpaud @ 8515 with a 48 pip stop, ideal target is 8643 where I've got a sell order waiting.

Yes that is optimistic. I was hoping to trail it and see how far it could go. I normally use 1:1. I have a theory that, regardless of strategy, your chances of hitting your target diminishes exponentially, not linearly, the further away it is. Less than 1:1 is not acceptable to me, so that is why I have been using 1:1. Adjusted let's not be greedy.

GDR your stop for this pair and trade is too tight IMHO.. considering especially its state of current volatility range.

nerveless I hope it takes off right away for you, i am still in it too.

I'd have liked a move away from 8500, just going to keep the position on and see what happens

I also agree with that, personally I find it much easier and more profitable scalping certain areas instead of trying to go for the large swings and prefer to be in and out of the market as quickly as possible.
